Arthur Hayes believes the long arc of US policy now points toward money creation on a scale that could push Bitcoin into “multi-million” territory—and, in a more extreme scenario, as high as $15 million per coin. In a wide-ranging interview hosted by CoinFund’s Chris Perkins, the BitMEX co-founder and noted macro commentator tied the path of Bitcoin explicitly to a looming political and institutional showdown at the Federal Reserve, arguing that Jerome Powell can delay—but not ultimately prevent—the return of aggressive stimulus under a Trump administration. Bitcoin To $15 Million Possible Under Trump? From Jackson Hole, where markets are braced for Powell’s remarks, Hayes framed the near-term setup as a test of the Fed chair’s pride and independence in the face of overt political pressure. “Supposedly Powell is this Volcker 2.0… Do I think there’s a high probability that Powell sticks it out and just says f*** you to Trump and doesn’t cut just because he’s a human and human beings don’t like to be put in these sort of situations? Yes,” Hayes said. He added that while “ultimately the Fed will cut at some point,” the chair may refuse to signal imminent easing now precisely to demonstrate autonomy: “What a better way to prove that you are an independent monetary actor than to say no, I’m sticking with my guns.” Related Reading: Is The Bitcoin Treasury Bubble Popping? Expert Answers That posture, however, only postpones what Hayes sees as the inevitable: an overtly inflationary policy mix once Powell is replaced or overruled. “Trump and Scott Bessent have laid out exactly what they want to do. Run it hot, inflationary,” he said, using the interview to expand a thesis he plans to publish next week on how Washington could weaponize stablecoins to finance the state while marginalizing the Fed’s control over front-end rates. In a line that doubles as both meme and policy critique, Hayes previewed his framing: “I changed the meme… it’s going to say it gets, you know, it puts the dollars on its skin or it gets the sanctions again.” Hayes contends the policy lever is straightforward: pull trillions sitting in the offshore eurodollar system into on-chain dollar stablecoins by withdrawing de facto guarantees for non-US bank branches and by deputizing US big-tech platforms to distribute yield-bearing dollar accounts globally—backed by Treasury bills. He estimates the total addressable pool at $10–13 trillion from eurodollars alone, with additional “foreign retail deposits” across emerging markets. Once that capital sits in stablecoins, he argues, the Treasury can place bills “at whatever price [it] wants, unconstrained by what Powell or whoever his successor does,” effectively neutering Fed funds while creating a “sink of tens of trillions of dollars” to finance deficits. The geopolitical enforcement mechanism, in his telling, is blunt: deny access to US financial rails—or sanction foreign elites—if local regulators resist. Related Reading: Analyst Predicts Bitcoin Crash Below $100,000, Here’s When The market impact, he says, is unambiguously bullish for crypto. With on-chain dollars paying a modest yield, users can frictionlessly move into basis-trade tokens, spend with crypto cash cards, and post stablecoins as collateral across DeFi. “TVL… should go into the tens of trillions pretty quickly if… US monetary authorities follow through on this national policy of pro-stablecoin and let’s shove dollars to all these places in the world.” Against that backdrop, Hayes places Bitcoin at the apex of the risk spectrum. He calls it “the best performing asset in human history since it launched in 2009,” and rejects the idea that latecomers have missed the move: “I wouldn’t say that just because you’re coming in at 2025 and Bitcoin’s at 120,000 or whatever it is that you’ve missed the boat. We still have a long way to go.” Pressed on price, Hayes links the $15 million figure to a particular personnel outcome at the Fed: “If that guy [Zervos] gets in, you know, Bitcoin will be at like 15 million because he’s just going to do yield curve control, you know, printing money, immediate 300 basis point cuts.” While not a base case, the scenario illustrates his conviction that the political economy points to structurally looser policy—and structurally higher Bitcoin. In the immediate term, Hayes remains fully invested and is prepared to buy weakness around Jackson Hole. “If… Powell… doesn’t talk about cuts at all and market tanks 15–20%, I’ve got some extra cash and I’ll be going shopping.” At press time, BTC traded at $113,569.

Crypto markets move at breakneck speed, and Solana tops the charts in fast, low-cost token launches that can skyrocket in hours – and then fade away just as quickly. Traders who act swiftly gain an edge, yet the biggest hurdle is recognizing momentum before it’s too late. Enter the Solana Volume Bot, a powerful AI-based tracker that gives traders first-mover insight into surging activity. Spot market moves before the mass alerts and get ahead of the competition. Volume as the Leading Signal of Market Momentum Solana dominates DEX volume, widening its lead over Ethereum throughout mid-2025. In July alone, Solana recorded $124B in DEX volume – 56% more than June – and surpassed Ethereum for the tenth straight month. Bots accounted for 62% of that volume, a testament to how automation now powers much of Solana’s trading activity. Traders are deploying more automation tools and bots than ever – but the process isn’t perfect, and a high rate of failed transactions indicates the presence of bot-driven activity. Ironically, the dominance of bot-driven trading makes the Solana Volume Bot even more necessary, as tracking real-time volume spikes – not just price movements – is crucial. The Solana Volume Bot does exactly that, letting you react to bot-driven flows while the crowd still sleeps. How It Works: Intelligent, Realistic Volume Simulation The bot deploys AI-powered tracking across major Solana DEXs, including: Raydium Meteora Pump.fun LetsBonk It isn’t just Solana, either; the Volume Bot also supports BSC, Base, and custom AMMs. The Solana Volume Bot injects organic-looking volume from fresh wallets. That means each trade originates from a unique address in order to mimic real retail behavior and avoid detection by DEX anti-bot filters. Trade size, timing, and frequency are randomized. As campaigns execute, traders can read the market while strategically boosting select tokens to achieve preset goals. Designed for Traders & Launch Teams Alike For traders, the bot produces real-time alerts for newly launched tokens hitting volume thresholds or trending on DexScreener. For project teams, the volume bot can produce instant visibility and trending status post-launch without requiring technical deployment. The interface runs through a one-click Telegram setup and includes options like 100K, 500K, 1M, or 10M+ volume packages. Unlike other bots, the Volume Bot isn’t focused on price movements. That’s because price movements often follow volume – and by deploying a bot to influence volume increases, traders can exert pressure on token price. The Solana Volume Bot gives traders greater control than they would otherwise have, without compromising natural market patterns. In fact, the tool works best when using bot-driven volume in tandem with real promotions and transparency to build trust. Recent Momentum & Industry Response With Solana’s ecosystem booming with real value throughput and DEX volumes skyrocketing in the first half of 2025, the competition for attention is fierce Automated tools are essential in Solana’s rapid environment, but not all bots are created equal. Responsibly designed mechanisms like the Solana Volume Bot, focused on organic-looking triggers and ethical disclosure, can carve out a unique space in Solana’s fertile ecosystem.

Harvard economist Kenneth Rogoff, who declared in 2018 that Bitcoin was more likely to crash to $100 than rally to $100,000, has returned. He indirectly admitted he was wrong and outlined reasons why his prediction fell through. Harvard Economist Breaks Silence On Missed Bitcoin Prediction In an X post, Rogoff identified himself as the Harvard economist who said that Bitcoin was more likely to be worth $100 than $100,000. He then went on to comment on what he missed when he made this prediction. First, the economist said that he was far too optimistic about the U.S. coming to its senses about sensible crypto regulation. Related Reading: Crypto Founder Predicts The Collapse Of Bitcoin In This Timeframe Rogoff, who was the former chief economist of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), indicated that the Donald Trump administration has gone about Bitcoin and crypto regulation in the wrong way. He questioned why policymakers would want to facilitate tax evasion and illegal activities, likely in reference to regulations such as the GENIUS Act, which have provided regulatory clarity. It is worth mentioning that one of the reasons the Harvard economist had predicted that Bitcoin was more likely to go to $100 was based on his belief that government regulation would trigger lower prices. He had made this prediction when BTC was trading at around $11,000. Rogoff claimed back then that the flagship crypto needed global regulation to crack down on its use for money laundering. The former IMF chief believed that if this regulation took away the possibility of money laundering and tax evasion, then Bitcoin’s actual use cases for transactions were very small. As such, he was banking on BTC lacking any demand, which would drive its price lower rather than higher. However, that hasn’t been the case as government regulation has only boosted Bitcoin’s demand. The flagship crypto rallied to $100,000, a price level Rogoff said it won’t reach, for the first time last year following Donald Trump’s victory. Meanwhile, BTC has reached new highs on the back of regulatory clarity, including its rally to a previous all-time high (ATH) just before the passage of the GENIUS Act last month. Further Reasons For The Missed Prediction The Harvard economist also stated that he did not appreciate how Bitcoin would compete with fiat currencies to serve as the transaction medium of choice in the $20 trillion global underground economy. He further remarked that this demand puts a floor on its price. Related Reading: Two Scenarios Map Out Bitcoin Price Crash After Recovery In addition to being a transaction medium of choice, BTC has also gained a reputation as a store of value, which has created demand for it among traditional finance (TradFi) investors. These investors have gained exposure to Bitcoin mainly through the ETFs. Interestingly, Harvard recently revealed a $117 million stake in BlackRock’s BTC ETF. Lastly, Rogoff said that he did not anticipate a situation where regulators, especially the regulator in chief, would be able to brazenly hold hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars in crypto without consequence, considering the “blatant conflict of interest.” At the time of writing, the Bitcoin price is trading at around $113,600, up in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.
