Arthur Hayes: The AI Bubble Could Trigger a Bigger Financial Crisis in 2028 On August 22, 2026, BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes @CryptoHayes shared in an interview with Unchained @Unchained_pod that once the market starts questioning the returns on AI capital expenditures, the financing chain could reverse, potentially triggering a financial crisis around 2028 that’s even worse than 2008. At that point, governments might still resort to massive money printing to bail out the economy. This forms the core logic behind his belief that Bitcoin will ultimately benefit significantly from the bursting of the AI bubble. Source: Unchained
