Arthur Hayes: Fed and U.S. Treasury credit expansion could drive Bitcoin to $1 million

Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX, said at Korea Blockchain Week that credit expansion by the Federal Reserve and the U.S. Treasury could push Bitcoin's price to $1 million.

Hayes estimated the potential scale of funding from the Federal Reserve and the U.S. Treasury at $15 trillion, arguing that such an environment could become a strong bullish catalyst for scarce assets like Bitcoin.

His comments came as expectations for U.S. monetary easing and the possibility of fiscal expansion have once again emerged as key market variables.
