Two market experts recently revised their predictions for Ethereum, with one claiming that the second-largest crypto token could rise to as high as $100,000. Interestingly, these ultra-bullish predictions align with some predictions made by financial institutions. Ethereum To Rise To $50,000 Ethereum maximalist Adriano Feria predicted in an X (formerly Twitter) post that Ethereum could reach $50,000 in this market cycle. He made this bold prediction in response to Ethereum developer Eric Conner’s prediction that ETH will reach $35,000 this cycle. Conner had initially predicted that ETH would rise above $20,000 in this bull run but eventually revised his price target because of the “ETH hate” he was receiving following his prediction. Related Reading: This PEPE Holder Cohort Is The Reason Price Is Struggling To Reclaim $0.00002 Meanwhile, Feria followed Conner’s footsteps and upped his ETH price target, predicting the crypto token to reach $100,000. He explained that the hate ETH was getting made him realize that “99% of the people in the world are completely sidelined, and institutions have barely gotten their feet wet.” Feria added that those holding ETH are truly the “world’s elite” because ETH’s bull case should send the crypto token to $100,000. The analyst suggested that Ethereum has yet to enjoy mainstream adoption, and it could send its price to the $100,000 target when that happens. This includes the entry of institutional investors into the Ethereum ecosystem, which is already happening thanks to the Spot Ethereum ETFs. Feria is also confident in his prediction and remarked that he wasn’t joking. He noted that some financial institutions have come up with bull targets close to his price target of $100,000. One of the financial institutions that the analyst might have been referring to includes VanEck, which gave a bull case price target of $154,000 for ETH by 2030. Why ETH Rising To $50,000 Is Possible Crypto investor Jesse Eckel recently made a bullish case for Ethereum, explaining why Ethereum will not only reach but surpass the $50,000 price target. He alluded to VanEck’s prediction that Bitcoin can reach $52 million by 2050. He claimed that ETH is “objectively better money than BTC, ” meaning that the former could easily attain unprecedented heights since VanEck predicts that the flagship crypto will be worth millions of dollars. Related Reading: Hedge Fund Manager Says Bitcoin Price Will Reach $428,000 If This Happens Eckel further remarked that Ethereum is currently the “backbone” of onchain finance. He claimed that ETH would “continue to grow as a legitimate form of money” as everything becomes tokenized and trillions of dollars move onchain. The investors also noted how almost every layer-2 network launches under the Ethereum ecosystem. With such massive adoption on the horizon for ETH, Eckel predicts that Ethereum can even rise to as high as $23 million based on VanEck’s prediction for Bitcoin. At the time of writing, Ethereum is trading at around $3,170, down over 4%, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com

Matt Hougan, Chief Investment Officer (CIO) of Bitwise, claims in a new memo to investors following the 2024 Bitcoin Conference that the market may not be bullish enough about the future of BTC. The conference was a watershed moment that attracted massive political attention and could influence the future trajectory of Bitcoin heavily. Why You Are Not Bullish Enough On Bitcoin The conference featured a number of groundbreaking statements from high-profile political figures. First and foremost, GOP’s presidential candidate Donald Trump’s statement about building a national Bitcoin reserve caused huge waves. Trump articulated a vision of America as the “crypto capital of the world” and proposed the establishment of a “strategic Bitcoin stockpile”. Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) presented a bill that would require the US Treasury Department to procure 1 million Bitcoin. Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) called on the Democratic Party to move away from previous restrictive policies and embrace cryptocurrencies as an integral part of the US financial system. Related Reading: Research Firm Predicts Bitcoin Game Theory In Global Adoption Race In an even more ambitious call, independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. suggested that the US Treasury should acquire 4 million Bitcoin. This figure is intended to be equivalent to the US’s share of the world’s gold reserves. According to Hougan, the political discourse surrounding Bitcoin has rapidly evolved from skepticism to strategic acceptance, a transformation punctuated by recent crises and regulatory challenges. The collapse of FTX in late 2022, which marked one of the most significant upheavals in crypto history, casted a long shadow over the industry. However, as Hougan noted, the resilience of Bitcoin and the broader crypto market has been remarkable. “This is crazy. Less than two years ago, FTX was collapsing in a historic fraud, bitcoin was trading at $17,000, and skeptics were dancing on crypto’s grave. Now politicians are openly talking about building a ‘Bitcoin Fort Knox,’ Hougan writes. Related Reading: Hedge Fund Manager Says Bitcoin Price Will Reach $428,000 If This Happens He further points out that less than a year after the SEC’s aggressive action against Coinbase, the US Department of Justice is now cooperating with the same platform to secure its crypto operations, reflecting a broader recalibration of governmental attitudes towards Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. Hougan suggests that these developments are not merely opportunistic but reflect a deeper recognition of cryptocurrencies’ growing influence in American society. “When you say ‘opportunism,’ I say, ‘That’s how politics works,'” Hougan stated, acknowledging the strategic shifts within the US political sphere. The implications for investors, according to Hougan, are profound. Investors need to reassess the potential scale of Bitcoin’s growth. Hougan highlighted the asymmetry in risk perceptions, where the focus has traditionally been on downside possibilities. “We spend a lot of time focused on downside risk […] However, there is now an equal risk to the upside,” he stated. The sentiment on Wall Street is also seeing a notable shift. In a conversation reported from the conference, Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon referred to Bitcoin as a potential store of value, indicating growing interest from major financial institutions. The Bitwise CIO mused, “Could we wake up tomorrow and find out that a G20 country has added bitcoin to its balance sheet, looking to front-run the US? Could comprehensive crypto legislation get passed more quickly than expected in the US as bipartisan support strengthens? Could Wall Street massively embrace crypto, at a scale much larger than most expect? “ Overall, the 2024 Bitcoin Conference has evidently served as a catalyst for rethinking Bitcoin’s role on both national and global stages. “These ideas would have been the stuff of daydreams a year ago. But after what I witnessed last week, they look more likely than not,” Hougan concluded. At press time, BTC traded at $64,136. Featured image from YouTube / Mr. M Podcast, chart from TradingView.com
