Эксперты предсказывают будущее Эфириума: возможный рост свыше биткоина Experts Predict Ethereums Future: Potential Growth Outpacing Bitcoin

The digital treasury sector (DAT) is experiencing a correction, as stated by BitMine Chairman Tom Lee in an interview with Fortune.

«If this isn’t a burst bubble, then what is?» he remarked.

The expert noted that currently, 80% of cryptocurrency firms focused on accumulation are trading below the net value of their crypto assets, implying that the market values these companies at less than their held tokens.

However, Lee emphasized that this reflects not a collapse, but a heightened selectiveness among investors.

BitMine stands as the largest corporate holder of Ethereum. Following a recent acquisition of 104,336 ETH, the firm’s total assets under management have reached 3.03 million ETH, valued at $11.4 billion.

SharpLink Gaming ranks second. The company began accumulating the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization in June, and on October 16, announced a stock sale worth $76.5 million to bolster its Ethereum reserves.

The firm has already issued 4.5 million shares priced at $17 — a 12% increase over the previous closing price. Investors were also granted a 90-day option to purchase an additional 4.5 million shares at $17.5.

Despite optimistic projections of 200% growth potential and a successful offering, SharpLink’s stock is declining. Over the past month, its price has dropped more than 14%, and its market capitalization has fallen below $3 billion compared to $4 billion in August.

As of the time of writing, 71 companies have included Ethereum in their reserves, amassing a total of 5.9 million ETH worth $22.2 billion, which constitutes 4.8% of the asset’s total supply.

Lee also suggested that the leading altcoin could surpass digital gold in terms of market capitalization. In an interview with ARK Invest CEO Cathie Wood, he drew a historical parallel:

«Ethereum may overshadow Bitcoin just like Wall Street and stocks eclipsed gold after 1971.»

The BitMine Chairman referenced the «Nixon shock» — a series of economic reforms that resulted in the US dollar becoming «completely synthetic,» losing its backing by precious metals.

«Gold was the immediate beneficiary then, but Wall Street created products that established the dollar as the dominant currency. By the end of that period, the dollar’s share in global reserves increased from 27% to 57%, and it reached 80% in financial transactions,» Lee stated.

At the time of writing, the market capitalization of Ethereum stands at $458 billion, while Bitcoin’s is $2.1 trillion.

The dominance of the US dollar could provide an opportunity for Ethereum due to tokenization, added Lee. He believes that as the use of stablecoins increases, more shares and real estate will be transitioned onto the blockchain.

It is worth noting that in September, a similar viewpoint was expressed by ConsenSys founder Joseph Lubin, who argued that widespread adoption by institutional players could lead to a 100-fold increase in the value of ETH.
