Arthur Hayes’ Shocking Prediction: Ethereum (ETH) Headed for $10,000!

Updated
May 22, 2025

Jakarta, Pintu News – In a macro-focused interview with the Bankless podcast, Arthur Hayes, former CEO of BitMEX and current CIO of Maelstrom, expressed his optimistic view on Ethereum (ETH), stating that a rise to $10,000 and even $15,000 is a realistic outcome as global liquidity changes and capital controls are implemented in the upcoming monetary regime.

Reasons for Ethereum (ETH) Rise

Hayes explained that Ethereum’s (ETH) rise of more than 50% in a week was not due to technical factors, but rather a change in market sentiment. “The most hated assets often rise the fastest in the next cycle,” he said. This suggests that Ethereum (ETH) has been overlooked for a long time, especially with tokens like Solana (SOL) gaining a lot of attention.

Although Hayes did not add to his position, he remains optimistic about Ethereum (ETH) and is not bothered by the current price. “It’s good that the price is going up, but let’s talk again when it reaches $10,000 or $15,000,” he said. According to him, Ethereum’s (ETH) rise is part of what he calls a global monetary “phase shift”, where the world’s reserve assets are moving away from US Treasuries to a more fragmented system.

Ethereum (ETH) Prospects and Challenges

Hayes admits that Ethereum (ETH) hasn’t performed as impressively as Bitcoin (BTC) so far, but he believes that Ethereum’s (ETH) moment will come. Especially if there is greater regulatory clarity or if decentralized finance (DeFi) makes a comeback with sustainable cash flows.

He highlights projects like EtherFi and Pendle as examples of token ecosystems that may end up justifying valuations through fundamentals. Given the potential for increased liquidity, Hayes sees Ethereum (ETH) as a strong high-risk trade. “They print money,” he says bluntly.

“And the consequences will make the price of gold and Bitcoin (BTC) soar.” However, Ethereum’s (ETH) journey will not be a straight line. He remains optimistic that Ethereum (ETH) is still in the early stages of what could be a major rally.

Hayes’ Investment Positioning and Strategy

Hayes is preparing himself for the possibility of Ethereum (ETH) reaching $10,000 in 2025 or later. “Mailstream is about 60% Bitcoin (BTC), 20% Ethereum (ETH), and the rest is various tokens and token deals,” he said.

For non-crypto investments, Hayes focuses on physical gold, gold miners, and T-bills. At the time of writing, Ethereum (ETH) is trading at $2,477. With all factors considered, Hayes remains convinced that Ethereum (ETH) has potential that has yet to be fully explored.

Conclusion

With Arthur Hayes’ highly optimistic outlook and changing market conditions, investors may need to reconsider their position on Ethereum (ETH). As one of the major crypto assets, Ethereum (ETH) has the potential to reach much higher values than currently seen.
