Hayes Sees Ethereum Surging to $10,000 Before Year-End

Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX, has made headlines in the crypto community by predicting that Ethereum (ETH) will reach $10,000 by the end of this year. Speaking at Korea Blockchain Week 2026, held at the Walkerhill Hotel in Seoul, Hayes stated his confidence in Ethereum's future value.

In a related development, Hayes' family office, Maelstrom, has set target prices for various cryptocurrencies as part of its year-end investment strategy. The targets include $10,000 for ETH, $0.50 for Ethena (ENA), and $2 for Ether.fi (ETHFI).

Hayes made similar comments earlier this month when outlining his family office's year-end investment strategy.
