  • Arthur Hayes believes failing Japanese banks holding underwater U.S. government bonds will lead to more money printing by the Bank of Japan, which will drive up the price of Bitcoin and crypto assets.
  • Hayes suggests the Bank of Japan will use its Foreign and International Monetary Authorities (FIMA) repo facility to exchange U.S. Treasuries for newly printed U.S. dollars to bail out Japanese banks.
  • Hayes advises readers to rotate out of stablecoins and into crypto assets like Bitcoin, calling it “another pillar of the crypto bull market” as more dollars will need to be printed.

Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX, says the Japanese banking system is in dire straits and that the consequences will only send Bitcoin and crypto markets higher.

NEW: BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes predicts the Japanese banking system's impending bailout will propel #Bitcoin and crypto markets

Japanese Banks in Trouble

Much like US banks in March of 2023, Hayes argued on Thursday that Japanese banks will soon need a massive bailout due to the deeply underwater US government bonds on their balance sheet.

“Y’all know what that means for Bitcoin and crypto,” which is why I thought it necessary to alert readers about another avenue of stealth money printing, he wrote. Since last year’s banking crisis and its subsequent central bank bailout, he noted that Bitcoin’s price has risen over 200%.

The similarities between then and now are striking. Last year, Silicon Valley Bank revealed that it had realized a $18 billion loss on its underwater bonds, sparking a bank run and a quick bailout from both the Federal Reserve and the US Treasury. To stem banking system contagion, the Fed also promised to fully backstop any US Treasuries held at US banks.

More Losses to Come

Hayes believes that’s just the tip of the iceberg, as Japanese banks cumulatively held $850 billion in foreign bonds going into 2022, including almost $450 billion in US bonds per an IMF survey. He said potential bond sale of this magnitude is something that US Treasury Secretary Janey Yellen would not be willing to stomach.

“That cannot be allowed as yields would spike higher and make funding the federal government extremely expensive,” Hayes said. “She will demand that the Bank of Japan (BOJ) purchase these bonds from Japanese banks it supervises.”

Money Printing to Come

To accomplish this, Hayes suggests the BOJ will leverage its Foreign and International Monetary Authorities (FIMA) repo facility, which allows it to pledge US Treasuries as collateral in return for newly printed US dollar bills.

Consequences for Bitcoin

The consequence? More money printing and fatter bags for people who hold assets like Bitcoin. As such, Hayes said he’ll soon be rotating out of Ethena stablecoins and into crypto risk and advised readers to “buy the fucking dip.”

“This is just another pillar of the crypto bull market,” he concluded. “The supply of dollars must increase to maintain the current Pax Americana dollar-based filthy financial system.”

Earlier this month, Hayes told followers that it was time to go long on Bitcoin and “shitcoins” since central banks are now beginning to cut interest rates for the first time in years.
