Ethereum Price Predictions: ETH price can go downside – Ethereum News Today

Ethereum, introduced by Vitalik Buterin is an advanced blockchain project that is home to several DeFi tokens. The popularity of the coin among crypto enthusiasts has led him to secure the position of the second-largest cryptocurrency.

While Ethereum price has been appreciating against the dollar, no significant growth has been made when measured against Bitcoin because the flagship cryptocurrency has stolen the spotlight over the past few weeks.

Ethereum price prediction 2021 news is heating up as investors take an interest in the cryptocurrency.  Let’s take a look at some of the top ethereum price predictions for 2021, as collected from AMBCrypto.

  • Let’s start off with Mike McGlone of Bloomberg. He’s looking at a range of $500 to $700 this year.
  • Blockfyre co-founder Simon Dedic is expecting a bit more. He estimates that the cryptocurrency will see its price remain above $800 this year.
  • WalletInvestor.com also weighs in on the cryptocurrency’s value with a 2021 estimate of $872.
  • Next up is DigitalCoinPrice.com, which has a $1493 range for the cryptocurrency over one year.
  • Blocktown Capital managing partner James Todaro has much higher expectations than any of the others. His 2021 ethereum price prediction soars well above the others at $9,000.

Ethereum Price Prediction 2021

We have seen a considerable dApp adoption in 2020 that drove the price of ETH. Also, an update called Ethereum 2.0 is scheduled for November 2020 as currently the network is stretched to its limit with the rise of DeFi.

The upgraded version is expected to increase the scalability of the network to 1,00,000 transactions per second, moving the blockchain from energy-intensive POW to POS.

The network is super popular with numerous projects built on it, given the advancements are maintained we can see ETH soar to 604.007 USD* Source: Gov Capital

Ethereum Price Prediction 2022

Ethereum is expected to have a bunch of partnerships and integrations scheduled for 2022 that might boost the value of Ethereum in the market.

By 2022, ETH might reach $2500, which is quite optimistic but we are hopeful of it.

What is Ethereum?

Ethereum, the second-largest by market value, is preparing for the next move against the US dollar but declined versus bitcoin. ETH/USD could rise in the near term if there is a successful break.

  • There is a key bullish trend line forming with hourly chart of ETH/USD (data feed via SimpleFX).
  • The pair may continue to rise and it could even break the recent high.
  • Ethereum price is trading with bullish price action against the US Dollar and Bitcoin.
  • Although Ethereum prices moved sideways on Friday morning, a new fund endorsed by Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has the crypto poised for some massive gains.

The secretive project is the brainchild of an Avengers-like cast of Ethereum power players, including Cosmos, Golem, Maker, Global Blockchain Labs, OmiseGo, Raiden, and Tendermint. (Source: “Vitalik Buterin Hopes New Ethereum Fund Will Deliver on Hype,” CoinDesk, February 16, 2018.)

All these companies are developing decentralized applications on Ethereum’s platform, which, in a sense, makes them competitors.

However, they have a shared interest in strengthening the Ethereum ecosystem, because the stronger that ecosystem, the better its chances against rival blockchains.

With this in mind, they created the Ethereum Community Fund (ECF). In a broad sense, it opens the lines of communication between disparate projects on the Ethereum blockchain. But more specifically, it creates a grant program for financing select projects.

“Ethereum has grown beyond my expectations over the last few years, but the work is clearly not finished,” Buterin said in a statement to CoinDesk.

What this does is make Ethereum greater than the sum of its parts. How many other blockchains can boast of anything comparable? It’s slim pickings, dear reader.


There is an upside reaction and the price moved back. On the downside, there is a key bullish trend line forming with hourly chart of ETH/USD. The pair is trading with a positive bias. Any dips from the current levels remain supported.

Ethereum users fight against recovery of Parity funds

The debate over Parity’s lost funds has reached a climax over the past few days, with a strong anti-recovery stance being taken by many in the community.

Parity’s decentralised multi-signature wallets were compromised after a user exploited a bug in an Ethereum smart contract, deleting the wallet’s library function.

This locked up over 500,000 Ethereum and rendered all the wallets unusable.

Parity stated that in order to recover the lost funds, users would need to “hard fork” the blockchain. This would require the consensus of miners, who verify transactions on Ethereum.

Divisive choice

To facilitate the recovery of the parity funds, Ethereum developers created an Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP), which would function as a standardised recovery model.

The EIP is open to public comment, and the vast majority of those commenting are against the implementation of the EIP.

This choice is indicative of the difficulty of blockchain governance, as there is no centralised authority to appeal to in this situations.

While Parity users lost a large amount of funds and want to recover them, those against the implementation of these recovery tools argue they could increase the Ethereum blockchain’s attack surface and increase its reliance on EIP editors.

Many referred to the EIP as a “get out of jail free card”, which only requires the approval on EIP editors to manipulate funds on the blockchain.

They argued that the implementation of EIP 867 could potentially damage the decentralisation and security of the blockchain.
