Former BitMEX CEO Arthur Hayes predicts that a potential crash in the AI investment boom, driven by oversupply in AI data centers, could become a strong bullish catalyst for Bitcoin. Hayes explains that if the AI infrastructure bubble bursts, it may trigger a credit crisis prompting government and central bank interventions with liquidity injections. This influx of cash could benefit Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, especially around 2027-2028 when AI companies must justify their massive compute costs. However, Hayes also notes the possibility that AI demand might grow enough to sustain current investments, making the outcome uncertain but worth watching.
