A cryptocurrency analyst, Lark Davis, has a couple of hours ago shared a number of developments around Ethereum (ETH) he thinks would serve as catalysts to push the digital currency to the $10,000 area and beyond.
Davis in a Twitter post said Ethereum futures on CME, increased institutional ETH interest on Grayscale, including the significant growth of decentralized finance (DeFi) sector, which has so far been driven by Ethereum-based DApps will enhance the price of ETH to skyrocket.

“Will be selling a lot of spot BTC buys from $10,000 as we approach $50,000 to funnel more funds into altcoins. I have $300,000 as a MAX on BTC in this cycle. That is 6x from $50,000.
“I fully expect most altcoins to outperform [BTC] from here. Even majors like ETH will easily eclipse 6x from current levels.”
