In 2021, Ethereum could outperform Bitcoin in returns, and the coin’s price could rise to $10,000. This forecast came from the well-known crypto trader and host of The Wolf Of All Streets podcast, Scott Melker, in an interview with Cointelegraph<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In his view, the current period of Bitcoin price consolidation has been very favourable<\/em> for the second-largest cryptocurrency, whose price recently reached new highs<\/a>. It is Ethereum’s performance that the trader named the main catalyst for the rally in the altcoin market.<\/p>\n

He said that in recent months he has largely shifted his strategy from the first cryptocurrency to Ether.<\/p>\n

\n

“It reminds me of investing in the Internet in the early 1990s,” Melker said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

He does not consider his short-term forecast for Ethereum’s price overly bold:<\/p>\n

\n

“I don’t understand why this is crazy. Essentially, it’s only an increase of less than five times from the current price. Bitcoin rose nearly threefold last year.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Earlier, Kraken analysts also have suggested that Ethereum’s returns could surpass Bitcoin’s performance<\/a>, with the coin’s price exceeding $15,000.<\/p>\n

In the rise of the second-largest cryptocurrency<\/a>, Anthony Scaramucci, founder and managing partner of SkyBridge Capital, is confident.<\/p>\n

In the first three months of 2021, Bitcoin rose by almost 103%, marking the best first-quarter performance<\/a> for the flagship since 2013. Ethereum prices over the period gained more than 250%.<\/p>\n
