BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes is optimistic about the future of crypto assets, citing a recent shift in central bank policies. Hayes, who now serves as the Chief Investment Officer of crypto investment fund Maelstrom, highlights the decision by both the Bank of Canada (BOC) and the European Central Bank (ECB) to reduce interest rates.
According to Hayes, these moves by Canada and Europe could indicate a broader global trend towards looser monetary policies. He suggests that once the Federal Reserve in the US also follows suit, it could lead to a positive impact on risk assets, including cryptocurrencies.
Hayes believes that the recent rate cuts by the BOC and ECB will bring crypto out of a period of stagnation, contrary to his initial expectations. He anticipated such developments to occur later in August, coinciding with the Fed’s Jackson Hole symposium, where major policy changes are typically announced.
“The trend is evident. Central banks are gradually entering easing cycles,” Hayes notes.
In light of these changes in monetary policy, Hayes advises investors to consider going long on Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. He emphasizes the need to adapt investment strategies to align with the evolving macroeconomic landscape.
For Maelstrom’s portfolio projects seeking guidance on token launches, Hayes encourages them to take advantage of the current market conditions. He also plans to allocate excess liquid assets into promising cryptocurrencies, anticipating a resurgence in the crypto market.
As the crypto bull market shows signs of reawakening, Hayes is confident that it will challenge the traditional practices of central bankers. He remains bullish on the potential of cryptocurrencies to outperform traditional assets in the current environment.
