A veteran crypto analyst has shared more details about an altcoin he expects to dethrone Ethereum (ETH) in the long run.
Popular analyst predicted when Ethereum will be in 3rd place
Comparisons like Cardano and Ethereum have become a routine for leaderboards. Similar to Ethereum preparing to migrate to Ethereum 2.0 with the Merge upgrade, Cardano is one of the popular PoS Blockchains. As a result, it is natural to compare which project might be more successful in the future. In broader terms, Ethereum sits just behind Bitcoin (BTC) at the top of the ladder. As measured by market cap, Cardano (ADA) currently ranks eighth.
Ben Armstrong says the leading altcoin project will change on this date
The top 20 rankings have undergone significant changes in recent years due to new players and the failure of some projects. Tether (USDT) and USDC rank third and fourth respectively, increasing the popularity of stablecoins. In this context, crypto analyst Ben Armstrong thinks Cardano will gain significant volume in 6-10 years. According to the analyst, Ethereum (ETH) will lose its market share and user base to Cardano (ADA):
I firmly believe that Cardano will surpass Ethereum at some point in terms of market cap and users. Ironically, the slow roadmap for full ETH 2.0 will be the Achilles’ Heel, although it won’t happen anytime soon. Time range: 6 to 10 years.
I officially now believe that Cardano will eventually pass Ethereum in market cap & users.
It won’t be soon, but ironically, the slow roadmap for full ETH 2.0 rollout will be the Achilles Heel.
