Arthur Hayes, the founder of cryptocurrency derivatives exchange BitMEX, predicts that Bitcoin (BTC) will hit seven figures in about three years mainly due to the potential easing of US monetary policy.

Speaking at the TOKEN2049 crypto conference in Dubai, Hayes says that Trump and his administration will inject liquidity into the markets to help Republicans win their seats in the mid-term elections.

“We’re going to around a $1 million [BTC] by 2028, because we’re going to print more money in Trump’s 2.0 than Biden did in his term.”

Historically, easing monetary policy has sent Bitcoin to new all-time highs.

He also says one possible catalyst that would spark Fed money printing is if the US and China trade talks fall apart.

“What happens if this China-US sort of divorce goes badly, and both sides stick to their own guns and don’t want to compromise? Well, are Trump and the Republicans going to not try to win a 2026 midterm election? Of course not. They’re going to do what they need to do to stimulate the economy, to create the impression of growth and strength, so that they get re-elected, just like any other politician. And so because of this secular change in the relationship between the two largest economic and military powers is going to be funded with printed money Bitcoin is going to go much higher than it did from 2022 to 2025 and that, ladies and gentlemen, is a road to $1 million Bitcoin.”
