Arthur Hayes Says AI Layoffs Are Coming for the Banking System
summary
Predicts AI-driven layoffs hit the bottom 10–20% of knowledge workers (examples: Coinbase ~14%, other tech 20–40%), causing mortgage and credit shortfalls that stress bank loan books and could spark a banking crisis within 6–12 months unless massive money printing follows. Claims Bitcoin is already pricing this and sets a current target of Bitcoin $125K. Bullish on Hyperliquid as a trading app with HIP-3/4, 24/7 perps, 97% revenue buybacks and a Hyperliquid $150 by August price target. Also backs Zcash/privacy and short-dated binary markets.
