Arthur Hayes, former BitMEX CEO, predicts Bitcoin could surge to $125,000 by the end of 2026 due to increased liquidity in the U.S. financial system and rising defense spending amid U.S.–Iran tensions. Key factors include regulatory changes allowing banks to hold lower capital reserves, potentially unlocking $4 trillion in credit expansion, and fiscal expansion driven by nearly $1.5 trillion in U.S. defense outlays. Hayes also notes AI-related job displacement as a temporary drag but believes overall liquidity growth will fuel Bitcoin's price. Despite recent price volatility, Hayes expects strong market momentum ahead.
