After the listing, the price of Ethereum Classic will skyrocket. This is no surprise as most analysts have already put Ethereum Classic in the $100 level during prediction. Fundstrat’s Tom Lee said that Ethereum Classic will sell as high as $70 or more before the year ends.
Whether anyone likes to admit it or not, Coinbase has a significant influence on the cryptocurrency market. When a cryptocurrency gets listed on Coinbase, it has the potential to rise because Coinbase users are likely to buy it. Also, a cheap cryptocurrency with potential is always a good choice for investors. This is why the prices of BCH and LTC went sky-high after being listed on Coinbase.
For Ethereum Classic, the rise will be exceptional because it is not an Ethereum fork but a platform for smart contracts that runs on the original Ethereum chain. Ethereum Classic is going to grow a great deal in the coming months and end up in the $100+ level by the end of the year. This is according to the cryptocurrency writer, Fakhan from CryptoDaily.
