Original Title: 'Arthur Hayes on Bitcoin's route to $200,000, holding gold and why 'hated' Ethereum is due for a comeback'

Arthur Hayes is an iconic early Bitcoin figure who co-founded the offshore exchange BitMEX in 2014, later facing legal issues for violating US regulatory requirements. Recently, Hayes admitted to insufficient anti-money laundering controls, accepted probation and paid fines, but received a full pardon from Trump at the beginning of the year.
Currently, Hayes focuses on managing his family fund Maelstrom while remaining an influential figure in the crypto asset space. Fortune contributor Anna Tutova interviewed him during Token-2049 in Dubai, where Hayes shared his market outlook - including predicting BTC could reach $200,000 in the short term and potentially surpass $1 million by 2028.
During the interview, Hayes also analyzed the ETH and Altcoin markets and explained why he chose to allocate 20% of his assets to gold.
