Arthur Hayes has predicted that the EURJPY currency pair will fall to 140 or below by mid-2027, while setting year-end 2026 price targets of $10,000 for Ether, $0.50 for Ethena and $2 for Ether.fi.

The forecasts were highlighted in a post attributed to Cointelegraph on X. Hayes, a prominent crypto market commentator, provided targets across both the foreign-exchange and digital-asset markets, with his EURJPY call extending into 2027 while the cryptocurrency targets focus on the end of 2026.

Hayes Sets Year-End Crypto Targets

For the cryptocurrency market, Hayes has set a year-end 2026 target of $10,000 for Ether. The forecast places the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization alongside two other tokens for which he also provided specific price levels.

Ethena has a year-end 2026 target of $0.50, while Ether.fi has a target of $2. The three targets cover assets with different roles within the broader digital-asset market, but the post does not provide additional details explaining the assumptions behind each forecast.

The figures are price targets rather than confirmed market outcomes. No timeline beyond year-end 2026 was provided for the Ether, Ethena or Ether.fi projections.

EURJPY Forecast Extends Into 2027

Hayes also forecast a substantial decline in EURJPY, predicting that the pair will reach 140 or below by mid-2027.

EURJPY represents the exchange rate between the euro and Japanese yen. Unlike the cryptocurrency targets, Hayes’ currency forecast extends beyond the end of 2026 and specifies a mid-2027 timeframe.

The post does not provide additional figures or a stated rationale for the projected decline. As a result, the 140 level should be treated as Hayes’ forecast rather than an established expectation for the currency pair.

Separate Timeframes for the Forecasts

Hayes’ projections use two distinct time horizons. The cryptocurrency targets for Ether, Ethena and Ether.fi are set for year-end 2026, while the EURJPY forecast points to mid-2027.

The forecasts therefore identify specific price levels and deadlines, but the original post does not detail the conditions that Hayes expects would lead markets toward those levels.

The next defined milestones are the end of 2026 for the three crypto targets and mid-2027 for the EURJPY forecast, when the respective predictions can be measured against actual market prices.
