The crypto world is full of fascinating possibilities and unexpected rises. CEHV partner Adam Cochran’s recent series of tweets sparked Ethereum debates by presenting a convincing argument for the possibility of Ethereum’s token ETH reaching a high level of $457,081.
Possible 20-Fold Increase in Ethereum’s ETH
Cochran emphasized that Ethereum should be seen as a revolutionary blockchain-based infrastructure that transcends ordinary boundaries, rather than a traditional company, by comparing its market value to that of technology giants such as Apple and Amazon, to those who question the possibility of a 20-fold increase in ETH.
Cochran’s analysis was inspired by the size of securities processed with a transaction volume of 2.5 quadrillion dollars last year. Cochran predicted an annual ETH burning process of $1.25 trillion, which is equivalent to 5.7 times the current market value, by considering the possibility of performing this transaction on the Ethereum blockchain with a 0.05% gas fee.
Building on this foundation, Cochran predicted that Ethereum’s potential value could reach $35 trillion.
Cochran’s projection gained even more momentum when he introduced the concept of compound burning rate. Assuming that the annual compound burning rate will be 2% or more for 20 years, the potential value per ETH could rise to $457,081.
Additionally, Cochran acknowledged that it is unlikely that 100% of global securities will be placed on Ethereum within two years, but that placing one-tenth of them within ten years is possible.
Ethereum Value and Market Access
Beyond the securities market, Cochran argued that Ethereum could capture additional valuable markets and accelerate its growth. He claimed that placing 10% of global securities and entering other valuable markets could realistically result in a 30-35-fold increase in value over the next decade, even with a margin of error of 33%.
In particular, Cochran’s analysis offers reliable and cost-effective placement solutions by demonstrating Ethereum’s potential to disrupt traditional intermediaries. The possibility of eliminating reliable intermediaries to achieve trillions of dollars in annual transaction volume is becoming increasingly attractive for various global markets.
Cochran’s projections may seem bold, but they highlight the unlimited possibilities in the crypto space. Ethereum’s unique position as a blockchain infrastructure opens doors to innovation and change, questioning the status of reliable intermediaries.
On the other hand, Ethereum’s price did not make a significant move last week, but showed a slight upward trend, rising by 0.6%. ETH rose from a low of $1,805 seen last Friday to $1,815 at the time of writing.
Ethereum’s market value also recorded small gains in the last seven days. ETH’s market value rose from a low of $217 billion last Friday to $218 billion. On the other hand, ETH’s daily trading volume also decreased from $7 billion throughout the week to $3.6 billion in the last 24 hours.
