Bitcoin and Other Cryptos Set To Begin ‘Slow Grind Higher,’ Says Arthur Hayes – Here Are His Top Altcoin Picks

BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes is saying that crypto assets are likely to benefit from the US monetary policy going forward.

In a new essay, Hayes says that the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve are engaging in “stealth money printing policies.”

According to the BitMEX co-founder, the “slow addition of billions of dollars of liquidity each month will dampen negative price movement” for crypto assets.

“While I don’t expect crypto to fully realize the recent US monetary announcements’ inflationary nature immediately, I expect prices to bottom, chop, and begin a slow grind higher.”

Hayes says that the recent fall in the prices of crypto assets has offered an excellent opportunity to accumulate.

“I’m buying Solana and doggie coins (memecoins) for momentum trading positions. For longer-term sh*tcoin positions, I’m upping my allocations in Pendle and will identify other tokens that are ‘on sale.’

I will use the rest of May to increase my exposure. And then it’s time to set it, forget it, and wait for the market to appreciate the inflationary nature of the recent US monetary policy announcements.”

The BitMEX founder is an advisor and investor in Pendle (PENDLE), a decentralized finance crypto project that lets users tokenize and sell future yields.

On his Bitcoin (BTC) forecast between now and August, Hayes says,

“A rally to above $60,000 and then range-bound price action between $60,000 and $70,000 until August.”

Bitcoin is trading at $62,726 at time of writing.
