Article Title: Arthur Hayes Predicts Bullish Year-End Prices for Bitcoin and Ethereum
In a recent article published by X on August 3, 2025, Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX, has set year-end 2025 price targets of $250,000 for Bitcoin and $10,000 for Ethereum. These predictions are based on strong institutional demand, global fiscal expansion, and monetary policy trends that increase liquidity and credit creation in fiat markets135.
Hayes views Bitcoin as a macroeconomic asset and a hedge against fiat currency debasement. He expects ongoing global credit growth and government money printing to push the price up. Institutional investment, regulatory developments, and fiscal deficits are major catalysts for his Bitcoin prediction1.
For Ethereum, Hayes expects a price surge to be fueled by increased U.S. credit expansion, institutional interest, and a shift toward wartime economic policies. Renewed institutional confidence in Ethereum-based assets and decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystems are drivers for the rally, according to Hayes25.
Despite his short-term bearish stance, Hayes remains bullish with strong uptrends to these year-end targets. As of early August 2025, Bitcoin trades around $113,000 and Ethereum around $3,420, indicating significant upside potential according to Hayes’ forecasts2.
Elsewhere in the crypto space, the Pepe Dollar (PEPD) presale is picking up pace as Ethereum (ETH) hovers over $3,600. Apu is now live for trading on Hyperliquid, and Margex has introduced a new market section for users6.
However, it's important to note that Hayes' predictions should be taken as informational and not as investment advice. Readers are encouraged to do their due diligence before making high-risk investments in Bitcoin, cryptocurrency, or digital assets.

These predictions underscore Hayes' belief in the role of Blockchain technology and decentralized finance (DeFi) in reshaping the traditional finance landscape.
