$1900 Ethereum Price Next Year?
Fundstrat Global Advisors CEO and Crypto Bull, Thomas Lee has made a bold prediction for the Ethereum price by the end of next year. In a report by Bloomberg, Mr. Lee is quoted as saying the following:
Ethereum is about to stage a trend reversal and rally strongly. Sentiment is currently overly negative.
Lee further added that when Ether has underperformed other digital assets by two-standard deviations, ETH always reversed those losses. He went on to add that he sees Ethereum price reaching $1,900 by the end of next year.
Other Factors that Could Lead Ethereum price reaching $1,900
Blockchain, the European cryptocurrency wallet provider, launched an Over The Counter (OTC) desk to execute large trades off public exchanges such as Coinbase and Kraken. This move pivots Blockchain in a position to attract more institutional investors into the crypto space. Blockchain joins other OTC providers such as DRW and DV Trading in Chicago.
With Ethereum being the second most popular digital asset in the cryptocurrency markets, the institutional investors are bound to want to purchase it and HODL through the new OTC desk by Blockchain.
Secondly, the firm known as Bakkt is slated for launch this November. The firm has the backing of the New York Stock Exchange, BCG, Microsoft, Starbucks, an affiliate of Fortress Investment Group, Eagle Seven, Galaxy Digital, Horizons Ventures, Alan Howard, Pantera Capital, Protocol Ventures, and Susquehanna International Group, LLP.
Bakkt aims at building solutions for the buying, selling, storing and spending of digital assets, based on already existing time-tested futures markets. The firm made an announcement of their first futures contracts via a tweet that said:
Our first contracts will be physically delivered Bitcoin futures contracts versus fiat currencies, including USD, GBP and EUR. For example, buying one USD/BTC futures contract will result in daily delivery of one Bitcoin into the customer’s account.
This then states the stage for an exciting period in the crypto-markets as the year comes to an end. A Bitcoin rally will translate to Ethereum also making some impressive gains.
Thirdly, the cryptocurrency derivative platform of LedgerX is reported to be preparing to expand its cryptocurrency portfolio to include Ethereum (ETH). The firm prides itself as being the first federally regulated exchange and clearinghouse to list and clear physically settled Bitcoin swaps and options for the institutional investors that are found on Wall Street.
According to The Block,
The company, however, is waiting for regulators from the Commodities Futures and Trading Commission to get comfortable with the product before making it available to its clients. The source told The Block that approval could come after a regulatory meeting October 5.
Summing it up, Thomas Lee has made a bold price prediction in stating that Ethereum will make it to $1,900 by the end of next year. With the digital asset struggling to rise above $220, the above three factors could be the boost that ETH needs in the markets to reach this price prediction and extinguish any fears of ETH crashing in the markets.

Hong Kong, Hong Kong, 25th January, 2021, // ChainWire //
Xeno Holdings Limited (xno.live ), a blockchain solutions company based in Hong Kong, has announced the listing of its ecosystem utility token XNO on the ‘Bithumb Korea’ cryptocurrency exchange on January 21st 2021.
Xeno NFT Hub (market.xno.live ), developed by Xeno Holdings, enables easy minting of digital items into NFTs while also providing a marketplace where anyone can securely trade NFTs.
The Xeno NFT Hub project team includes former members of the technology project Yosemite X based in San Francisco and professionals such as Gabby Dizon who is a games industry expert and NFT space influencer based in Southeast Asia.
NFT(Non-Fungible Token) technology has recently gained huge focus in the blockchain arena and beyond, making waves in the online gaming sector, the art world, and the digital copyrights industry in recent years. The strongest feature of NFTs is that “NFTs are unique digital assets that cannot be replaced or forged”. Unlike fungible tokens such as Bitcoin or Ether, NFTs are not interchangeable for other tokens of the same type but instead each NFT has a unique value and specific information that cannot be replaced. This fact makes NFTs the perfect solution to record and prove ownership of digital and real-world items like works of art, game items, limited-edition collectibles, and more. One of the ways to have a successful…
2020 has been an incredible year for crypto as investors have generated windfall profits and crypto projects have seen their businesses gain the spotlight they’ve been looking for. While Bitcoin has received most of the attention after major institutional investors announced they were accumulating the increasingly scarce asset, many altcoins have also seen their fair share of glory. When looking at all the big winners of the past year, the first project that probably comes to mind is Chainlink, having appreciated by more than 550% YTD and now valued at over $4.5 billion. But, the actual biggest winner of the year is HEX with a YTD return of over 5,000%.
I mention both of the above projects as they have each taken slightly different paths to achieve greatness. Chainlink has devoted resources toward building a fundamentally sound business with many strategic partnerships while HEX has spent vast sums of money on marketing and promotion. Both approaches are valid, but one thing is certain, it is absolutely imperative for crypto projects to let the crypto community know what makes them special. Of course, one of the reasons that makes crypto so valuable is the powerful blockchain technology that most projects are utilizing.
Cryptocurrency vs. Blockchain Technology
It’s important to make a distinction between blockchain technology and cryptocurrency. Although they are often used interchangeably, they are different. Blockchain technology and crypto were both created after the 2008 financial crisis, but cryptocurrency…

“NFTs are extremely flexible in their usage, from digital event tickets to artwork, and while NFTs have a very wide spectrum of uses and categories XENO will initially focus its partnership efforts and its own item curation on three primary areas: gaming, sports & entertainment, and collectibles.”, said XENO NFT Hub president Anthony Di Franco.
He also added “This does not mean we will prohibit other types of NFTs from our ecosystem However, it simply means that XENO’s efforts as a company will be targeted into these verticals initially as a cohesive business approach.”
Development and Procurement Lead, Gabby Dizon explained, “Despite our initial focus, we found ourselves with a unique opportunity to host some of the works of Mr. Hiro Yamagata. We are collaborating with Japanese artist Hiro Yamagata to enshrine some of his artwork into NFTs.”
