Wall Street giant citigroup (C) launched a new ether (Eth) Forecasts, providing for $ 4,300 by the end of the year, which would be a drop compared to the current $ 4,515.
This is the basic case, however. The full evaluation of the bank is wide enough to pass an army regiment, the Taureau case being $ 6,400 and the case of $ 2,200 bear.
Banking analysts have said that network activity remains the main engine of Ether’s value, but that a large part of recent growth has been on the Layer-2, where the “Pass-Through” value at the base layer of Ethereum is not clear.
Citi supposes that only 30% of the activity of the layer 2 contributes to the evaluation of Ether, which puts the current prices above its model based on the activity, probably due to strong entrances and excitation around tokenization and stablecoins.
A layer 1 network is the base layer or the underlying infrastructure of a blockchain. Direction 2 refers to a set of out -of -chain systems or separate blockchains built on top of layer 1.
Stock market negotiated funds (ETF) sunk, although smaller than bitcoin (BTC)have an impact on higher prices per dollar, but Citi expects to remain limited given the smallest market capitalization of the ether and the decline in visibility with new investors.
Macro-factors are observed by adding only a modest support. With actions already near the Bank’s S&P 500 60 objective, analysts do not expect the rising risks.
