BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes has published an analytical essay on current market trends. The investor examined in detail the relationship between the financial sector and the rapidly developing artificial intelligence industry. A significant part of corporate expenses is directed to the large-scale construction of specialized data centers. Companies are also actively creating the necessary energy infrastructure for training complex neural networks. Hayes compared the current build-up of computing power to the mortgage crisis of 2008. The largest technology corporations attract credit funds and issue corporate bonds. Banks are willing to finance such infrastructure projects, considering them important for the economy. The real return on these multibillion-dollar investments remains unclear.

A slowdown in the pace of construction of new facilities may create a certain shortage of market liquidity. The financial difficulties of borrowers that have arisen will require the attention of relevant regulatory authorities. The authorities will be forced to support the economy with new financial incentive programs. Buying back distressed assets will inevitably lead to a noticeable increase in the total money supply. This macroeconomic process will create the basic conditions for a new cycle in global markets. Hayes considers the increase in liquidity to be the main driver of the long-term growth of leading digital assets. The investor assumes that bitcoin will reach the one million dollar mark in the long term. Before the start of a new uptrend, the first cryptocurrency may experience a noticeable price correction. Quotes can temporarily drop to a range of fifty to sixty thousand dollars.

Industry experts regularly publish their own macroeconomic forecasts for the development of the cryptocurrency market. Adam Back, CEO of Blockstream, has previously voiced similar long-term expectations. The British cryptographer assumes a steady increase in the bitcoin exchange rate by 2028. According to his estimates, the value of the main digital asset can reach five hundred thousand dollars. Industry participants are carefully studying the relationship between traditional financial instruments and new technologies. The construction of computing clusters requires enormous amounts of electricity and modern hardware. Analysts continue to monitor the volume of debt financing attracted by corporations for infrastructure projects. The formation of global market trends depends on many complex macroeconomic factors.
