Ethereum is on track to $5,000: Mike McGlone
Chief commodity strategist of Bloomberg, Mike McGlone, has recently taken to Twitter to share his take on why the second largest crypto, Ethereum, could be on track to hit $5,000.
Bloomberg’s expert tweeted that the blockchain co-founded by Vitalik Buterin has become the major tool for the digitization of finance and money. Therefore, this is the solid foundation that is likely to push Ethereum further up – to the $5,000 level.
McGlone also mentioned Bitcoin, reminding the audience that its supply is declining and the demand for it is surging, which is also a sign of the explosive growth Bitcoin is likely to see.
In his earlier tweets this year, the expert opined that by the end of 2021 Bitcoin may reach a whopping $100,000.
