Arthur Hayes Forecasts Ethereum to Reach $10,000 by Year-End

Former BitMEX CEO Arthur Hayes stated at KBW 2026 in Seoul that he expects Ethereum to hit $10,000 by the end of the year. Despite acknowledging that Ethereum has faced competition from other blockchains, Hayes maintains that it remains the most secure layer-one network due to its market capitalization. Hayes has previously experienced losses on ETH trades, including a $241,000 loss in August and a $600,000 loss in July.
