At the Korea Blockchain Week conference, Arthur Hayes, founder of BitMEX and current chief investment officer of Maelstrom, said that the Fed's rate hikes are having unintended consequences for the economy. In his opinion, this stimulates nominal GDP growth and supports the crypto industry. Hayes also noted that AI companies, with large cash reserves and stable incomes, are less dependent on bank loans, which makes them attractive for investment. He believes that Filecoin could be a big beneficiary of this AI-cryptocurrency intersection. However, Hayes warns that the confluence of the three manias - AI, cryptocurrency and money printing - could lead to a significant asset bubble.
