Ether (ETH), the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, could see further gains towards $10,000 this year after reaching a new all-time high around $2,780 on Thursday – a roughly threefold increase forecasted by FundStrat, a market research firm.
ETH is up about 40% for the month to date versus a 5% decline for bitcoin (BTC). “We’re maintaining our overweight ethereum vs. bitcoin recommendation from April 2020,” wrote FundStrat in a research note published on Thursday.
