Arthur Hayes Predicts Bitcoin Price Will Reach $250,000, Ethereum to Hit $10,000 by Year-End.
In his latest blog post, Arthur Hayes – co-founder and former CEO of crypto derivative exchange BitMEX – made bold predictions about the crypto market in the second half of 2025. Specifically, he believes Bitcoin (BTC) will surge to $250,000, while Ethereum (ETH) will also explode to $10,000 by the end of this year.
Arthur Hayes believes a strong price surge is about to occur with Ethereum, even describing it as "will tear a new hole in the market" – hinting at a fierce and unexpected explosion. He believes smart money and speculative activities will continue to flow into the Ethereum ecosystem, especially as the market returns to high-risk assets after a correction period.
Hayes is currently actively developing Maelstrom – an investment fund focused on the Ethereum ecosystem and decentralized finance (DeFi). According to him, Maelstrom is "doing everything related to Ethereum, everything about DeFi, and everything for degen traders through ERC-20 tokens". This shows he is particularly optimistic about Ethereum's central role in the next growth phase of the crypto market, especially with the wave of memecoins, DeFi tokens, and new-generation decentralized financial applications.
