Has Bitcoin already bottomed, or is more pain still ahead? Grayscale’s Head of Research, Zach Pandl, thinks June’s $58K low may have marked the bottom—and points to two signals behind his call. In this episode of Cointelegraph’s Trade Secrets, host Kieran sits down with Pandl to examine Bitcoin’s recovery, whether the four-year cycle still holds, and what could change the institutional investment case for BTC. Pandl explains why Strategy’s stabilization and Bitcoin’s resilience to bad news over the summer shaped his outlook. They also discuss whether the CLARITY Act could deliver the boost investors expect, how US debt and the midterm elections fit into Bitcoin’s bigger picture, and whether Bitcoin could ever replace fiat. Beyond Bitcoin, the conversation explores Grayscale’s conviction in financial privacy and Zcash, Hyperliquid’s appeal to institutions, and the risks facing both projects.

Arthur Hayes is back on Trade Secrets — and he’s changed his mind on Bitcoin. After previously warning that BTC could fall much lower, Hayes now believes the bottom may already be in around $58K. In this episode, he explains why US liquidity, de facto yield curve control and renewed money printing could fuel what he calls a Bitcoin “hate rally” — with BTC grinding higher and a $150K year-end target now in sight. Hayes also reveals why Ethereum is his #1 crypto pick right now, why he thinks ETH could move 3–5X, and which altcoin he believes could deliver an “easy 5X” over the next six months. Plus, he explains why Trump’s crypto comments are largely irrelevant to Bitcoin, reflects on the shutdown of BitMEX, and lays out his next big bet at the intersection of crypto and AI. 00:00 Bitcoin to $1M?
