Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX, predicts Bitcoin could soar to $250,000 by the end of the year if Donald Trump gains control over the Federal Reserve. Hayes suggests that Trump could use administrative pressure and personnel changes to implement yield curve control, stimulate credit creation, and inject fiat liquidity into digital assets. By consolidating control over the Fed's Board and FOMC seats, the administration could influence regional bank appointments and monetary policy, potentially leading to increased inflation and a surge in stablecoin flows into Bitcoin. As of October 8, 2025, Bitcoin is trading at $124,468.
