Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.
BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes said in an X post on the 3rd that bitcoin (BTC) will remain bearish until the Federal Reserve or commercial banks—or both—begin expanding their balance sheets, arguing that dollar liquidity is being reabsorbed. Hayes, who has previously argued that liquidity and capital allocation drive crypto prices more than regulatory clarity (citing the CLARITY Act as an example), framed balance-sheet expansion as the key trigger for a reversal. The call matters because Hayes's liquidity-based framework has been a widely followed macro signal for crypto positioning, and his bearish stance contrasts with hopes pinned on regulatory progress. What to watch next: Fed balance-sheet policy signals, bank credit expansion data, and any shift in dollar liquidity conditions that could invalidate his bearish thesis.
