surpassing $200k this year. Honestly, he could be onto something!

The former BitMEX CEO asserts that the European Central Bank will be forced into a money-printing binge to support France’s fiscal situation. He believes that such intervention is more likely to exacerbate Bitcoin’s next breakout rather than stabilize Europe.

Arthur Hayes: Understanding France’s Debt Crisis and the ECB’s Quandary

France, the Eurozone’s second-largest economy, bears one of the heaviest public debt burdens within the bloc. Hayes argues that this pressure will ultimately compel the ECB to broaden its balance sheet to maintain the euro’s stability.

“The ECB will resolutely print money to avert the rekt of its purpose,” Hayes remarked in his blog, candidly adding: “France is in serious trouble.”

Hayes added, “Either the ECB presses the Brrr button now and indirectly funds the French welfare system, or it does it later when French capital controls threaten to unravel the euro. Either scenario results in trillions of euros being printed.”

This concept echoes his previous forecasts that US quantitative easing would create a lasting advantage for BTC. Now, Hayes envisions a similar situation unfolding across Europe.

Current Data Indicates BTC is Acting as a Safe Haven, What Lies Ahead?

BTC is currently priced around $120,500, having increased over 7% in the past week, according to CoinGecko data. This rise correlates with political unrest, including an impending US government shutdown prompting capital to seek safe havens. Glassnode reveals that less than 2.3 million Bitcoin remain on centralized platforms, indicating a tightening supply.

ETH has followed suit, gaining nearly 10% to reach $4,492. Hayes has made an ambitious prediction for Ethereum, forecasting it will hit $10,000 by 2025, alongside BTC reaching $1 million by 2028.

“It shall be a glorious day for the believers as printed euros combine with printed dollars, yuan, yen, etc. to elevate the price of BTC,” Hayes stated.

Reports from the Federal Reserve’s FRED database indicate that global market fluidity remains unusually accommodating, despite recent rate cuts that have just started this fall. At the same time, European deficits and China’s stimulus measures reinforce the notion that fiat devaluation is a permanent trend rather than a fleeting one.

Implications of Bitcoin’s Price for Investors

Hayes may not nail the timing of his forecasts, but he supports his hypothesis: Bitcoin tends to soar when governments engage in printing  and debt levels mount. France’s fiscal challenges are the most recent instance bolstering the safe-haven narrative, with trading platform balances declining and ETF inflows indicating consistent institutional interest.

His long-term conviction is straightforward: that the global debt crisis will leave Bitcoin as the sole asset still standing.
