Arthur Hayes Says Crypto Bull Market Primed To Continue, Outlines Bitcoin Path to Seven-Figure Price
In a new interview on the White Crypto YouTube channel, Hayes says an increase in the global money supply will act as a bullish catalyst for BTC and crypto.
'I think it's a great time to be in the crypto ecosystem because we have sort of this reflation happening across the world. More fiat money chasing a scarce asset and the bull market's going to continue. And I think it's going to be a fun party.'
According to Hayes, Bitcoin could go up by about 10x from the current level by January of 2029.
'I think by the end of Trump's presidency, so end of 2028, Bitcoin will be around $1 million. Or we'll have crossed $1 million. It might be lower than that at that point but I think we'll get to that nominal figure within the next three to four years.'
Bitcoin is trading at $103,045 at time of writing.
On the US dollar's prospects in the face of increasing money supply, the Maelstrom Fund CIO says,
'I think the dollar depreciates against gold, the dollar depreciates against Bitcoin. US Treasuries are probably the worst thing to own versus any other sort of financial asset out there, as they need to devalue because there's too much out there.'

Bitcoin Nears Record as Treasury Investors Boost Crypto Market
(Bloomberg) -- Bitcoin rose to within striking distance of an all-time high as demand from institutional investors and corporate treasury buyers lifts the wider market for digital assets. Sunseeking Germans Face Swiss Backlash Over Alpine Holiday Congestion New York Warns of $34 Billion Budget Hole, Biggest Since 2009 Crisis Three Deaths Reported as NYC Legionnaires' Outbreak Spreads A New Stage for the Theater That Gave America Shakespeare in the Park Chicago Schools' Bond Penalty Widens as $734 Million Gap Looms The original cryptocurrency advanced as much as 3.3% to top $122,000, not far shy of a previous record set in mid-July. A weekend rally saw Ether surge to above $4,300, its highest level since December 2021. The gains come on the back of mounting interest in cryptocurrencies among large investors. So-called digital-asset treasury companies — listed vehicles that pivot into accumulating cryptocurrencies — have to date amassed a Bitcoin stockpile worth $113 billion, according to data compiled by Coingecko. Equivalent vehicles for Ether have stockpiled some $13 billion of the token so far, according to data. 'Bitcoin's climb toward record highs is being supported by steady institutional inflows into corporate treasuries, US spot ETFs and a shift in sentiment following new US tariffs on imported gold bars,' said Rachael Lucas, a crypto analyst at BTC Markets. 'With gold facing supply bottlenecks and policy risk, Bitcoin's role as a borderless, tariff-free store of value is gaining traction among investors.' Bitcoin traded around $121,200 as of 6:15 a.m. in New York, while Ether was at $4,250. Eric Trump, son of US President Donald Trump, who has financial interests in several digital-asset entities, applauded the Ether rally in a post on X. Bloomberg News reported Friday that investors are being sounded out on a plan for World Liberty Financial, the Trump family-backed venture, to set up a public company that would hold its WLFI tokens. Ether options markets reflected the bullish sentiment with an overall put-call ratio 0.40. The highest concentration of call options with a December 26 expiry is at $6,000, according to Deribit data. Bitcoin and Ether positioning has been heavily skewed toward September and December calls in line with macro rate-cut timing and continued adoption by the traditional financial system, said Sean McNulty, derivatives trading lead of APAC at digital-asset prime brokerage FalconX Ltd. For Bitcoin, the next major milestone is the previous all-time high of $123,205, while support for the token can be found near $116,000 if the current momentum fades, Lucas added. (Updates pricing.)

Morning Bid: Waiting on CPI, China and Alaska
By Mike Dolan LONDON (Reuters) - What matters in U.S. and global markets today By Mike Dolan, Editor-At-Large, Finance and Markets Buoyant stock markets and an event-free Monday are allowing investors to prep for the three big events of the week: Tuesday's U.S. consumer inflation report, the China trade deadline and Friday's U.S.-Russia summit in Alaska. Doubts about the strength of the jobs market and revolving doors on the Federal Reserve board have traders betting on a Fed rate cut next month. Tuesday's consumer price report for July is one of the few data sets that could alter that thinking as the potential price impact of tariffs is examined. The embattled Bureau of Labor Statistics will publish the numbers, and the consensus forecast is for annual headline and core CPI gains to tick up a tenth each to 2.8% and 3.0%, respectively, both well above the Fed's 2% target and heading in the wrong direction. * Wall Street futures and Treasuries were both firmer ahead of the big inflation number, with bond market volatility gauges at their lowest in three years and last week's S&P 500 gains bringing the index back within 1% of all-time highs. The dollar was largely flat. * Last week's U.S. tariff day passed without causing major market moves, but Tuesday brings a separate deadline on U.S.-China trade as President Donald Trump decides whether to extend the existing truce or let tariffs shoot back up to triple-digit figures. Trump on Sunday urged China to quadruple its soybean purchases, sending Chicago soybean prices higher, and - in a highly unusual move - Nvidia and AMD reportedly agreed to give the U.S. government 15% of their revenue from sales to China of advanced AI chips such as Nvidia's H20. Chinese stocks were a touch higher ahead of the deadline. * Bitcoin surged 4% to a high of $122,308 on Monday, back within sight of the July 14 record of $123,153, in what appeared like a delayed reaction to Trump's executive order last week enabling crypto holdings to be held in U.S. retirement accounts. * Finally, Friday's Alaska summit will be watched closely by European markets monitoring possible breakthroughs on ending the Ukraine war. For today's deep dive, I'll discuss why whatever happens at September's Fed meeting matters less than concerns about a potential rethink of the Fed's entire structure. Today's Market Minute * Nvidia and AMD have agreed to give the U.S. government 15% of revenue from sales to China of advanced computer chips like Nvidia's H20 that are used for artificial intelligence applications, a U.S. official told Reuters on Sunday. * From McDonald's and Coca-Cola to Amazon and Apple, U.S.-based multinationals are facing calls for a boycott in India as business executives and Prime Minister Narendra Modi's supporters stoke anti-American sentiment to protest against U.S. tariffs. * Investors are backing out of or taking active bets against high-priced corporate credit, where they anticipate a correction in response to signs of slowing economic growth that could eventually impact stocks. * The crude oil market's sanguine reaction to the U.S. threats to India over its continued purchases of Russian oil is effectively a bet that very little will actually happen, writes ROI columnist Clyde Russell. * Inadvertent fumbles in the presentation of financial data have become endemic across the media space, which can confuse readers at a time when statistical literacy is more important than ever. Income Securities Advisor publisher Marty Fridson explains why having a basic grasp of statistics and finance is especially crucial today. Chart of the day China's producer prices fell more than expected in July, while consumer prices were flat, underscoring the impact of sluggish domestic demand and persistent trade uncertainty on consumer and business sentiment. Deflationary pressures have prompted Chinese authorities to address overcapacity in key industries. However, the latest round of industrial restructuring appears to be a pared-down version of the sweeping supply-side reforms launched a decade ago that were pivotal in ending a deflationary spiral.

2 Reasons XRP Is the Highest-Upside Cryptocurrency to Buy Right Now
Key Points New spot ETFs could unlock new investor inflows into XRP, helping to push up its price. Institutional adoption of XRP is growing, powered by new use cases such as asset tokenization. While XRP has undeniable upside potential, investors should be aware of the hype and buzz around it. 10 stocks we like better than XRP › In the period from November 2024 to February 2025, crypto investors saw plenty of evidence of the remarkable upside potential of XRP (CRYPTO: XRP). In just three months, the price of XRP exploded, from $0.50 to $3.40. Admittedly, the price of XRP has traded back down to the $3 level since then. But there are two very good reasons why XRP might still have plenty of explosive upside potential ahead. Imminent arrival of spot XRP ETFs While XRP remains the third-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, it has never been a big favorite of institutional buyers. A good reason for that is that there has never been a convenient, efficient, and cost-effective way for them to get exposure to it. Buying XRP meant dipping their toes into the deep end of the crypto pool. That's the problem the new spot XRP ETFs (exchange-traded funds) are supposed to fix. Suddenly, it will be as easy to buy XRP as it is to buy any ETF. So investors are understandably anticipating the imminent arrival of the spot XRP ETFs later this year. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is reviewing the applications of a handful of investment firms, and will likely render a decision by mid-October. Right now, Bloomberg is giving these spot XRP ETFs an 85% chance of approval this year. Online prediction markets appear to agree, giving them a 78% chance of approval. There are just a few is to dot and ts to cross, but the new spot XRP ETFs should start trading by the end of the year. When they do, they could unleash a wave of new money into XRP. According to JPMorgan Chase (NYSE: JPM), as much as $8 billion in new money could flow into XRP. The conventional wisdom says that all of this new money will push XRP higher, much like the arrival of the spot Bitcoin ETFs in January 2024 helped to push Bitcoin higher last year. XRP is not the only altcoin rumored to be getting a spot ETF this year. Many have already suggested that 2025 will be the year of the altcoin ETF, and other potential prospects include Solana (CRYPTO: SOL) and Litecoin (CRYPTO: LTC). But market sentiment is not as bullish on these two altcoins, and I'm expecting XRP to be the star of the altcoin ETF show going forward. A new wave of institutional adoption It's important to keep in mind that XRP is both a cryptocurrency and a blockchain. The cryptocurrency is a key component of the Ripple payment network, helping to enable activities such as cross-border payments. Right now, there are a lot of exciting things going on behind the scenes with Ripple (the company that launched the XRP token), helping to push XRP higher over the next few months. For example, Ripple has been working on new real world asset (RWA) tokenization initiatives that will use the XRP blockchain. One of the best examples of this to date is Ripple's partnership with BlackRock (NYSE: BLK) that will tokenize U.S. Treasuries and put them on the XRP blockchain, where they can be easily traded. Ripple is also working on new stablecoin initiatives. In December 2024, Ripple launched a new stablecoin called Ripple USD (CRYPTO: RLUSD) that is designed to boost usage of the XRP crypto token. In August, Ripple USD hit a $600 million market cap and now ranks among the top 110 cryptocurrencies. All this points to a new wave of institutional adoption for XRP. Perhaps it's not as much as some people would like, but it's certainly on the upswing. In fact, earlier this year, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse boldly suggested that one day, XRP could become the backbone of a payment system to rival SWIFT. Instead of running on legacy tech infrastructure that's over 50 years old, transactions would run on super-fast, super-efficient blockchain technology powered by XRP. Beware the XRP fakeout Of course, caveats abound when it comes to XRP. In many ways, XRP trades like a meme coin. Hype and speculation often run rampant in the XRP investment community. Case in point: There is still buzz that Ripple will be going public via an IPO soon, despite public statements from Ripple's top executives to the contrary. Of course, there are still regulatory issues swirling around XRP and Ripple. The long-running SEC court case against Ripple was supposed to wind up earlier this year, but the case is still not yet over. That's important, because all indications are that the SEC will not approve a spot XRP ETF until every last regulatory issue has been put to bed. So where do we go from here? According to Standard Chartered, XRP is going to hit $5.50 this year before soaring to a price of $12.50 by the end of 2028. That seems ultra-optimistic to me, but I can easily see XRP doubling by the end of next year. That makes it the highest-upside cryptocurrency you can buy right now.
