‍Arthur Hayes: US-Iran Tensions Could Spark Fed Easing and Bitcoin Rally

BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes suggests that a prolonged US military intervention in Iran could compel the Federal Reserve to ease monetary policy, potentially boosting Bitcoin (BTC) prices.

Hayes points to historical trends where significant Middle East conflicts have led to increased U.S. war expenditures. If the Trump administration were to engage in such a scenario, the costs could reach trillions, potentially forcing the Fed into quantitative easing or interest rate cuts. This would expand the M2 money supply, devalue fiat currency, and likely drive investors towards hard assets like Bitcoin and gold due to geopolitical instability.

Hayes advises caution, noting the uncertainty surrounding the conflict's duration and the U.S. economy's resilience to shocks. He advocates for a wait-and-see approach, as the market's reaction hinges on political decisions and economic endurance.
