Arthur Hayes, the co-founder of BitMEX, is encouraging cryptocurrency projects to initiate their token launches, highlighting favorable market conditions despite existing volatility.
In an essay titled Volatility Supercycle, released late Wednesday, Hayes stressed the importance of acting swiftly to take advantage of the current market environment.

“We will be urging our projects that delayed their token launches due to unfavorable market conditions to expedite their efforts,” Hayes remarked, referring to his crypto-investment fund Maelstrom, which concentrates on venture-stage investments in equity and tokens.
Maelstrom initiated a grant program in July to assist Bitcoin Core developers, underscoring its dedication to the cryptocurrency ecosystem.
Dump Fiat And Buy Crypto: Arthur Hayes
Hayes recommended that investors convert their fiat assets into cryptocurrency, forecasting significant growth in crypto portfolios due to prevailing market conditions.
“If you are fully invested in crypto, sit back, relax, and observe the fiat value of your portfolio increase,” he stated. “If you have additional fiat, take advantage of this opportunity and invest in crypto.”
He attributed his guidance to the actions of what he refers to as “global elites” – politicians and central banks – whom he believes are printing money to manage market volatility, rendering fiat less appealing.
Hayes indicated that recent actions by central banks are a crucial factor for cryptocurrency.

He observed that the U.S. Federal Reserve has commenced interest rate cuts, beginning with a 0.5% reduction last week, which he anticipates will persist until rates approach zero, a scenario he views as favorable for cryptocurrency.

In Europe, the European Central Bank has already reduced rates, and Hayes anticipates further cuts as economic pressures mount.
China has unveiled stimulus measures, including rate reductions and lowered reserve requirements for banks, further indicating global monetary easing.
“All this fiat currency must be allocated somewhere,” Hayes noted. “Bitcoin and cryptocurrency serve as the release valves. The fiat necessary to maintain suppressed volatility will inevitably flow into crypto.”
How Q4 Could Ignite a Bitcoin Rally
Hayes highlighted the fourth quarter as a historically robust period for Bitcoin, particularly in halving years such as 2024.
He cited data from Bitwise indicating average Bitcoin increases of 29.5% in October and 37.9% in November during comparable cycles.
With central banks lowering interest rates and this typically bullish phase approaching, Hayes believes it is an opportune moment for cryptocurrency projects to launch their tokens.
He considers the current market conditions—rate cuts, stimulus initiatives, and Bitcoin’s customary fourth-quarter performance—as ideal for projects to take action before the year concludes.
