🚨 Arthur Hayes: Fed Currency Swaps Could Become a Hidden Money Printer
Arthur Hayes believes the US and Japan could use an unlimited USD/JPY swap line to support the Japanese yen without forcing Japan to raise rates or dump its US Treasury holdings.
In Hayes’ view, the result could look similar to yield-curve control: the Fed creates additional dollars, Treasury yields come under pressure, and global liquidity expands.
That could be bullish for stocks and crypto, as a growing supply of dollars and yen chases scarce assets.
Under this scenario, Hayes believes Bitcoin could potentially reach $1M+.
👀 The key indicators to watch:
• USD/JPY
• The size of Fed dollar swap lines
• Any sudden expansion of swap activity
A major increase in dollar swaps could signal that this liquidity mechanism is being activated.
⚠️ The biggest risk: excessive dollar debasement could eventually undermine the US dollar’s role as the world’s reserve currency.
