MORE FROM FORBES Crypto Price Prediction: Why Bitcoin Could hit $700,000 In Just 10 Years By Billy Bam bough. The ethereum price has rocketed 600% over the last year, riding the DeFi and NFT craze that both use ethereum's blockchain. Bitcoin has also surged but at a slower clip, adding 250% to its price.
Earlier this year, longtime cryptocurrency bull Mike
Novogratz, the chief executive of crypto investor Galaxy Digital, also
predicted ethereum could one day become the "biggest cryptocurrency."
Meanwhile many in the cryptocurrency space have expressed their support of
ethereum's upgrade, claiming it will be broadly beneficial to the crypto
industry and market.
"For the many cryptocurrencies and DeFi applications
tied to it, this is a large boost to better efficiency, so good for the overall
crypto ecosystem," Diogo Monica, the cofounder and president of crypto
bank Anchorage Digital, said via email.
"We are confident that [ethereum's] network upgrade
will succeed in an overhaul of the network’s transaction fee market and other
parameters such as gas refunds," Paolo Ardoino, the chief technology
officer at both crypto exchange Bitfinex and stable coin issuer Tether Limited,
said in emailed comments. "This will have a positive impact on DeFi usage
on ethereum and help the network to realize its huge potential." Click here for more information: News on Bitcoin and Other Cryptocurrencies
Ethereum's upgrade will also see some ethereum tokens
destroyed, or "burned" limiting new tokens coming onto the market
and, in theory, making the tokens scarcer. Earlier this week, Dan Morehead, the
founder of $2.8 billion crypto focused investment fund Pantera Capital,
reportedly predicted ethereum would eventually flip bitcoin despite expecting
the bitcoin price to hit a whopping $700,000 per bitcoin in just ten years.
"You’ll see a transition of people who want to store
wealth, doing it in ether rather than just bitcoin,” Morehead told the Reuters
Global Markets Forum on Monday, it was reported by Coin telegraph. In June, the
chief investment officer at $100 million digital asset investment manager Two
Prime, Nathan Cox forecast ethereum will eventually "flip" bitcoin.
"In the long, long, multiyear timeline, yes, ethereum
will flip bitcoin," said Two Prime's Nathan Cox. "It's just now
starting to be understood by the second tier adopters. Ethereum's utility alone
will outstrip anything else."
