[Arthur Hayes Says U.S. Geopolitical Actions May Drive Bitcoin Higher] Arthur Hayes, founder of Maelstrom, stated in his latest article 'Suavemente' that the U.S.'s geopolitical actions, such as 'detaining' Venezuelan President Maduro and effectively controlling its oil resources, aim to suppress oil prices to curb inflation. This would provide President Trump with room for monetary and fiscal expansion, thereby maintaining voter support in the midterm elections. He believes that in an environment of money printing stimulus and controlled energy prices, nominal GDP growth will drive the rise of risk assets, especially inflation-resistant assets like Bitcoin. He explicitly recommends 'going long on BTC and high-quality crypto assets' and revealed that Maelstrom is nearly fully invested heading into 2026. He is also optimistic about privacy-focused sectors such as ZEC.
