Arthur Hayes re-entered the crypto market after a long period as a passive observer, following Trump’s pardon.
President Trump pardoned three BitMex crypto exchange co-founders, including Arthur Hayes, in March 2025, for their 2022 money laundering charges.
Hayes reacted immediately by thanking the president in a short X post.
Since then, Arthur Hayes has stayed away from the market until recently, when it returned in full force after purchasing 7.66M $BIO worth $1M USDC.
His purchase caused $BIO to surge by more than 20% for a three-month all-time high.
Arthur Hayes’ whale-buying of $BIO sends a strong signal to investors interested in utility-based projects, including Bitcoin’s Layer 2, Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER).
This is in the context of Hayes’ prediction that Bitcoin will reach $1M by the end of 2028, which aligns with the conclusion of Trump’s presidency. He made these remarks in a Fortune Crypto interview in May 2025, where he also stated:
‘So, I think Bitcoin dominance continues to go up. I think Bitcoin in this next little run could go close to $200,000. And then altcoin season comes around, and we’ll see some interesting things.
And by the end of the year, Bitcoin’s price target is about $250,000.’
At the same time, Hayes is a big believer (and investor) in meme coins, which he believes ‘onboard billions of people into Web3.’
He also explained in a February 2025 essay that meme coins can boost engagement in political campaigns at almost no cost. They also provide a ‘real-time global opinion poll on politicians.’
Needless to say, Hayes focuses on utility-based tokens, which makes Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) the ideal asset due to its combination of utility and meme potential.
Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) is the official Layer 2 solution for Bitcoin, created to tackle Bitcoin’s poor performance, which results in slow transactions and high network fees.
Hyper aims to elevate Bitcoin’s performance to Solana’s level using tools like the Canonical Bridge, which links the Hyper Layer to the Bitcoin ecosystem.
The Canonical Bridge functions by minting users’ Bitcoins onto the Hyper Layer and depends on the Bitcoin Relay Program to verify transactions quickly.
The users can then use the wrapped $BTC within the Hyper ecosystem or withdraw it to Bitcoin’s Layer 1 whenever needed.
The Canonical Bridge is Hyper’s solution to Bitcoin’s TPS, which is currently limited to 7, causing slow confirmation times and very high fees.
With the help of the Canonical Bridge and the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM), which speeds up the execution of smart contracts, Hyper aims to modernize Bitcoin’s performance.
This means transactions that confirm in seconds instead of hours, significantly lower fees, and high scalability, allowing multiple transactions to be processed simultaneously.
The project is currently in an $11M presale, with $HYPER valued at $0.012775.
If you want to invest, now is the ideal time because of the project’s investor appeal and long-term usefulness. If Hyper achieves successful implementation, it could become mainstream, and $HYPER might turn into a luxury asset.
You can buy your $HYPER today on the official presale page.
With a prediction of Bitcoin reaching $250K by the end of the year and an altcoin season just around the corner, Arthur Hayes seems prepared and equipped with all the knowledge he needs.
Fortunately, we all share the same knowledge now, which means all eyes are on Bitcoin. The moment it starts pushing past $120K, we know the time may have come.
With the ideal blend of utility and meme appeal, Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) could also experience a large influx of investors around the same time.
