In accordance with BitcoinSistemi, Arthur Hayes, CIO of the Maelstrom fund, shared a bullish Bitcoin price prediction for 2026. Hayes argues that the Federal Reserve's 'Reserve Management Purchases' (RMP) program is effectively a form of quantitative easing, which could drive Bitcoin to $200,000 in early 2026. He claims the RMP, which involves monthly $40 billion purchases of short-term U.S. Treasury bonds, injects new money into the market, similar to past QE policies. Hayes believes the market will eventually recognize RMP as a money-printing mechanism, leading to a surge in Bitcoin prices. He also noted that Bitcoin may remain in the $80,000 to $100,000 range until the end of 2025 as the Fed's narrative is still widely accepted.

Arthur Hayes, CIO of the Maelstrom fund, shared a Bitcoin price prediction for 2026, suggesting Bitcoin could reach $200,000. He linked the rise to the Fed’s RMP program, which he says functions like quantitative easing. The RMP injects $40 billion monthly into the market via Treasury bond purchases. Hayes thinks the market will eventually see this as money printing, boosting Bitcoin news. He expects Bitcoin to trade between $80,000 and $100,000 until late 2025.
