Institutional investors long on Ethereum make bullish prediction
Pantera Capital, a US-based cryptocurrency hedge fund, is bullish on Ethereum. In an interview, Joey Krug, the co-chief investment officer of Pantera, told Bloomberg that the firm is long on Ethereum.
Krug notes that the explosion in DeFi and Web3, competing with Ethereum and capturing the altcoin’s market share, has threatened the second-largest cryptocurrency’s dominance. Krug was quoted as saying:
If you roll the clock forward 10 to 20 years, a very sizable percent, maybe even north of 50%, of the world’s financial transactions in some way, shape or form will touch Ethereum.
The native currency of the smart contract network is one of Pantera Capital’s top three positions. Pantera’s crypto-focused fund manages over $5.8 billion in assets.
