Bitcoin price predictions have been generating a buzz in the crypto market, with Arthur Hayes, CIO of Maelstrom and leading macro-crypto analyst, recently stating that he believes the asset could reach $250,000 by the end of 2025. Hayes’ prediction comes after his speech at Token2049, where he predicted Bitcoin could reach $250,000. He attributes this rise to a combination of global anxiety around US fiscal instability and increasing interest in decentralized assets. Hayes points out that the declining dollar value is driving capital into non-sovereign stores of value. 2025’s bullish run for bitcoin comes after Bitcoin has already surged past previous all-time highs, with many seeing Bitcoin as a hedge against inflation. This prediction aligns with broader market trends such as increased inflows in Bitcoin ETFs and investor confidence fueled by global risk aversion
