- Arthur Hayes predicts asset bull run could extend into 2026 amid stimulus expectations.
- Hayes urges Bitcoin patience, calling it the top performer against global currency debasement.
- Bitcoin trades near $115,900 with $2.3T market cap, rebounding strongly after intraday dip.
Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX, said the global asset rally could extend into 2026. Speaking in an interview with Kyle Chassé, Hayes tied the extension to expectations that President Donald Trump will roll out fresh economic stimulus programs through mid-2026.
He noted that large-scale monetary expansion has not yet started, since political leaders often delay major policy shifts until economic pressure builds. Hayes stressed the current cycle is not finished.
Hayes Urges Bitcoin Holders to Stay Patient
Hayes cautioned Bitcoin investors against chasing quick wins. He argued that comparing Bitcoin’s short-term moves with gold or stock benchmarks misses its long-term strength.

“Those who expect fast wealth risk being liquidated,” Hayes said, urging holders to keep perspective. He framed Bitcoin as the most reliable performer against currency debasement worldwide.
Why Bitcoin Still Leads Against Inflation
Hayes rejected narrow measures such as asking when crypto will absorb a larger share of global M2 supply. He said that framing ignores Bitcoin’s proven role as a hedge.
He pointed out that while the S&P 500 has gained in dollar terms, it lags when measured in gold since 2008. Similarly, U.S. housing prices adjusted by gold remain depressed. Against that backdrop, Hayes argued, Bitcoin has consistently outperformed.
