Arthur Hayes, the co-founder and CEO of Bitcoin Mercantile Exchange (BitMEX), a Seychelles-registered and Hong Kong-operated crypto derivatives trading platform, has predicted that Bitcoin (BTC) price will surge to $10,000 during this year. Hayes, a Wharton School of Business graduate, had previously forecasted that Bitcoin’s price would hit $50,000 by the end of 2018. However, the value of the world’s most dominant cryptocurrency dropped below $4,000 mark towards the end of last year.
