Arthur Hayes predicts Ethereum growth to $ 5000

Despite the slow growth rate of Ethereum ETH $1,830.74 Bridged Ether (StarkGate) -2.00% Market capitalization $0.16 billion VOL. 24 hours $0.66 billion , BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes remains optimistic and makes a loud prediction that ETH will reach $ 5,000 before Solana SOL $125.49 Binance-Peg SOL -0.37% Market capitalization $0.14 billion VOL. 24 hours $0.26 billion reaches $ 300. This has sparked discussions among investors about the prospects for both assets in the coming months.

According to Hayes, Ethereum has a stronger foundation and an extensive ecosystem. The Dencun network update (EIP-4844), which is designed to increase the speed of transaction processing and make them cheaper, may give an additional impetus. This is expected to significantly increase the demand for ETH.

At the same time, analysts point to the rapid development of second-tier solutions. They will either strengthen Ethereum’s position or create new challenges for its basic level, depending on the pace of ecosystem adaptation.

Separately, experts note the growth of institutional interest in spot Ethereum-ETFs, which can also bring ETH closer to the $ 5,000 mark.

The confrontation between the two assets promises to be interesting, as both have serious growth drivers. Hayes' predictions only add to the intrigue of this rivalry.
