Quick Facts:
➡️ Arthur Hayes believes Bitcoin can’t go under $80K in 2025’s Q4, but that it won’t go much higher either; he expects the bull in 2026.
➡️ He suggests the real opportunity now lies in Bitcoin Layer 2s, DeFi rails, and on‑chain leverage exchanges rather than spot $BTC itself.
➡️ Strong presale traction for Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) and Best Wallet Token ($BEST) suggests growing appetite for infrastructure projects as traders rotate beyond spot $BTC exposure.
➡️ Meanwhile, Hyperliquid dominates decentralized perps volume with sub‑second on‑chain execution and HIP‑3 fee cuts, positioning it well if derivatives trading surges.
Arthur Hayes thinks Bitcoin has likely carved out strong support around the $80k region, hinting that the next leg of the bull market may be forming.
