Former Goldman Sachs Exec: Ethereum Price Hitting $20K By March
In a recent interview, former Goldman Sachs executive Raoul Pal talked about Ethereum and two of its (currently) faster and cheaper to use competitors.
Concerning the outlook for the price of Ethereum, Pal said that he believes ETH will hit $15,000 by the end of 2021.
“The small probability upside is that it hits $40,000 by the summer. That’s because [of] the staking cycle and how the charts look. And using the log chart, extending it forwards, and a number of things give me that. It’s not my base case; my base case would be $20,000 ETH by March at the latest.“
Before founding macroeconomic and investment strategy research service Global Macro Investor (GMI) in 2005, Pal co-managed the GLG Global Macro Fund in London for global asset management firm GLG Partners. Currently, he is the CEO of finance and business video channel Real Vision, which he co-founded in 2014.
And when asked if he was concerned that Ethereum had so many good competitors, Pal replied that it is normal for newer technologies to take over with time. Commenting on Solana, he said:
“SOL’s dominance versus others will diminish over time because this space is changing in structure. So I don’t have an issue with that. I’m not an ETH person. I’m just like this is the best horse to back, best risk adjusted return. I’m a crypto maximalist.“
Pal was then asked why he is invested so heavily in $ETH if he believes that Ethereum’s dominance over other L1 blockchains will fall in time. Pal answered that he thinks Solana and Terra will outperform Ethereum. But Pal noted that he has not invested in these two networks alone because “the network effects are less pronounced.” He added:
"So, therefore, I have to have a smaller bet, but I don’t think ETH stops going up. The whole space is going up 100Xover the next 10 years. So you can back a lot of different horses and still make money.”
Ethereum Price Is Expected To Reach These Levels
Looking at the Ethereum price chart, we can see that ETH had dropped significantly over the weekend before posting a slight recovery on Sunday. Although ETH fell back again on Monday, the price has shown signs of recovery, and we could see it test $4200.
