These Two Global Events Might Just Do It"},"content":{"rendered":"<div>\n<p>According to former BitMEX boss Arthur Hayes, Bitcoin could hit $1\u202fmillion in about three years. He put that <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptohayes.substack.com\/p\/fatty-fatty-boom-boom\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">forecast<\/a> on May\u202f15, pointing to what he calls two major forces pushing crypto prices skyward. It\u2019s a bold call\u2014900\u202f% gains from today\u2019s levels\u2014and it hinges on big shifts in money flows and bond values.<\/p>\n<h2>Strong Tailwinds For Bitcoin<\/h2>\n<p>Hayes argues that tighter capital controls around the world will drive investors toward a borderless asset. He also warns that US Treasurys are poised for \u201cdevaluation\u201d as the Treasury\u2019s mountain of debt keeps growing. If both trends play out, Hayes says, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coingecko.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Bitcoin<\/a> will win over a lot of money that can\u2019t move freely in traditional markets.<\/p>\n<h2>Election Year And Policy Swings<\/h2>\n<p>He picks 2028 as his target year because that\u2019s when the next US presidential vote happens. A pro\u2011crypto administration could lift Bitcoin\u2019s status even more. But a government that digs in on rules could slow things down. Hayes points to the Trump years as an example of a friendly stance\u2014and hints that a different leader might flip the script.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-477455\" src=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/a_217e10.png?resize=779%2C261\" alt=\"\" width=\"779\" height=\"261\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/a_217e10.png?w=779 779w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/a_217e10.png?w=640 640w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/a_217e10.png?w=768 768w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/a_217e10.png?w=750 750w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 779px) 100vw, 779px\"><\/p>\n<p>Regulatory Conflicts In Europe And China<\/p>\n<p>In Europe, authorities seem keen to tighten their grip on crypto use. Hayes warns that the European Central Bank may try to clamp down in ways that only push people toward digital coins. Yet China has steered clear of banning private Bitcoin ownership, knowing that enforcing such a rule would backfire and fuel underground markets.<\/p>\n<p>Historical Price Targets And Forecasts<\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t Hayes\u2019s first big price bet. Last month he said $100,000 was back in reach. Before that, he eyed the mid\u2011$70,000 zone as a likely low point. Other voices in finance are even more bullish.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-477493\" src=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/a_528ea5.png?resize=1024%2C477\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"477\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/a_528ea5.png?w=1775 1775w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/a_528ea5.png?w=640 640w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/a_528ea5.png?w=768 768w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/a_528ea5.png?w=980 980w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/a_528ea5.png?w=83 83w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/a_528ea5.png?w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/a_528ea5.png?w=750 750w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/a_528ea5.png?w=1140 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\"><\/p>\n<p>Fidelity has floated seven\u2011figure targets for the next ten years.
