The main investment director of the Maelstrom Foundation and the co-founder of the Bitmex Exchange Arthur Hayes said that the expected meeting of Japan on Japan can serve as a growth driver for bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

According to the businessman, if the regulator decides to return to the quantitative softening policy (QE), then the rally on the market should be expected. QE is a strategy for the Central Bank for the buying out of government bonds and pouring liquidity into the economy to reduce bets and stimulate consumption in complex financial periods.

“If the Central Bank of Japan postpone quantitative folding (QT) and resumes the selective quantitative QE at the June meeting – risky assets will fly,” Hayes said.

Now the Bank of Japan is evaluating the results of the QT plan, which started in August 2024 and providing for a decrease in the purchase of state -owned bonds by 400 billion yen, every quarter. The crisis in the Japanese government bond market forced investors to pay attention to Bitcoin again as protection against sovereign risks, Hais explained.

Earlier, Arthur Hais said that the US economy is suffering from “metabolic violations and obesity”: growing public debt, printing new dollars and foreign capital. All this is good for Bitcoin, the businessman said.
