Arthur Hayes says regulation is irrelevant, only fiat liquidity moves bitcoin
BitMEX co-founder and Maelstrom CIO Arthur Hayes took the Consensus Miami mainstage to make a provocative case: crypto regulation is irrelevant to Bitcoin's price performance. Hayes argues that fiat liquidity, not legislation, is the only variable that matters. He breaks down how money printing drove Bitcoin's historic gains, why the CLARITY Act won't move the needle, and where he thinks the crypto community should actually focus its political energy.
