Jakarta, Pintu News – Arthur Hayes, former JP Morgan trader and co-founder of BitMEX, recently expressed his high optimism for the future of Bitcoin (BTC).
With Bitcoin’s price now approaching $107,500, Hayes shared three main reasons that he thinks will make Bitcoin reach new highs.
From US treasury policy to the development of crypto regulations, here’s an in-depth analysis of the factors that could trigger a Bitcoin price spike.

The US Treasury Department is rumored to soon announce an additional leverage ratio (SLR) exemption of up to 1.5% for some of the country’s largest banks. This policy was first implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic, which provided massive liquidity to global markets.
Some regulators are in favor of a permanent exemption from this policy, while others suggest looking at other alternatives for relief. This SLR easing is expected to pump more liquidity into the market, fueling risk sentiment and prompting a major surge in the crypto market.
This policy, if implemented, will provide a significant boost to the financial markets by allowing banks to allocate more resources to risky investments, including crypto. Arthur Hayes believes that this move will be an important catalyst that will take Bitcoin to price levels it has never reached before.

The GENIUS Stablecoin Act, which has now reached the final stages of approval in the House of Representatives, is considered by Hayes to be a major event that will support US banks. The law allows banks to convert their USD cash reserves into stablecoin assets, which will increase liquidity in the market.
The law establishes a framework that allows banks and non-banks to issue stablecoins, while limiting issuance by public companies outside of the financial sector.
With strong bipartisan support in the Senate, which approved this legislation with a 68-30 vote, and a push from President Donald Trump to get this legislation on his desk soon, the opportunity for increased adoption of stablecoins by major banks is opening up. This will hopefully speed up transactions and reduce costs, providing further benefits to the crypto ecosystem.

The ceasefire between Iran and Israel that took place earlier this week has sparked a strong rally in the crypto market, with Bitcoin (BTC) and other altcoins experiencing upward momentum. Hayes thinks that this resolution of geopolitical tensions supports a positive rally for Bitcoin.
According to him, investors should ignore the fact that the conflict may not be fully resolved, but the current market perception is what matters. In addition, the market is bracing for some other positive developments, such as the approval of Bitcoin-backed mortgages by the US FHFA.
Industry players have accelerated their BTC acquisition plans, with MicroStrategy, Metaplanet, Semler Scientific, and Anthony Pompliano’s ProCap announcing massive BTC purchases this week. This accumulation could be the catalyst for reaching a new Bitcoin price record.
With a variety of strong supporting factors and evolving market dynamics, Arthur Hayes’ prediction of Bitcoin reaching a new record high does not seem to be just a dream. Investors and market watchers may need to consider these factors in their investment strategies to optimize potential future gains.
