Arthur Hayes Predicts 'Cryptocurrency Market to Face Massive Sell-Off After Trump's Inauguration'

On the 18th, Arthur Hayes stated on his blog, "When Trump has his inauguration on January 20th next year (local time), the market will experience a massive crash."

He explained, "The election campaign for the midterm elections to be held in November 2026 will start at the end of 2025, leaving the Republican Party with insufficient time to bring about changes in cryptocurrency policy." He added, "Investors will realize that even if Trump takes office, he will not be able to lead significant changes in cryptocurrency policy, which will lead to a sell-off."

Hayes further advised, "I plan to reduce my positions by the end of this year, observe until the first half of next year, and then proceed with buying. However, usually, I sell earlier than the timing and hesitate to buy when prices rise. Ultimately, investors end up underinvested during a bull market and miss out on significant profits," emphasizing the importance of choosing the right entry timing.

He added that if "the bull market continues even after Trump takes office, I will immediately revise my thoughts and proceed with buying."
