According to Grider, ether (ETH) – the second largest digital asset after bitcoin (BTC) – will continue to benefit from its relationship with decentralized finance (defi) applications, the majority of which are built on the Ethereum blockchain, and have seen massive growth in 2020.
He also premised his prediction on the recent upgrade to the Ethereum network, which is targeting to become a blockchain for an entire financial system. When fully completed, he said, the three-part upgrade would allow the blockchain to process the same number of transactions as those done by the likes of Mastercard Inc. and Visa Inc.
“Ether is the best risk/reward investment play in crypto,” Grider was quoted as saying, adding that “blockchain computing may be the future of the cloud.” Risks may include delays in the network upgrade or the crypto market becoming bearish, said the report.
Ethereum shot 12% to a record high of nearly $1,440 on Tuesday, amid increased buying pressure.

He added: “ETH fundamentals are as robust as ever. Ethereum has actually found early product-market fit, and the protocol is making revenue. ETH is definitely maturing as an asset.”
Cuende sees ether bouncing between $2,500 and $7,500. He also believes that Ethereum rivals Polkadot, Cosmos, and NEAR “are well-positioned to capture a meaningful market share” until ETH 2.0 is complete.
