Ethereum price analysis
Currently Ethereum is trading at $3,479, up 6.24% on the day and an impressive 11.09% across the last week, according to CoinMarketCap data.
As things stand, ETH has a total market worth of $418.5 billion.
The crypto community is bullish on Ethereum because of the ongoing network enhancements that are aimed at achieving full Proof of Stake (PoS) status. One noteworthy development recently occurred with the launch of the Merger testnet, which is the last testnet for the PoS move.
Proponents anticipate that the PoS migration will have a beneficial influence on Ethereum’s price since it has the ability to cut the cost of transactions on the network, which is now the most significant drawback.
Ethereum becoming the internets collateral
According to Bloomberg’s senior commodities analyst Mike McGlone, demand for ETH is increasing while supply is dropping. As a result, the price of Ethereum is expected to continue to rise as it becomes “the internet’s collateral,” he predicts.
“Demand is increasing, supply is declining and Ethereum’s position at the epicenter of the digitization of finance and money suggests further price appreciation. Ethereum — the denominator for NFTs and top platform for tokenization — is becoming the collateral of the internet.”
Considering ETH is the ‘denominator’ of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and is a leading network when it comes to the tokenization of assets, McGlone stressed the significance of the Ethereum blockchain down the road.
