Earlier this week the co-founder of Reddit Alexis Ohanian(who now works as a full-time VC) told Fortune that Ethereum will reach $1500 (Which was revised from his $15000 prediction).
The CEO of DeVere Group(World’s largest independent financial service organization) Nigel Green predicted that Ethereum price could reach $2500.
On 7th of May, the regulatory bodies SEC and CFTC are meeting to discuss whether cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum and Ripple are securities. But Joseph Lubin who is the co-founder of Ethereum told TheStreet this week that Ethereum is never meant to be a security,
He said
“We spent a tremendous amount of time with lawyers in the U.S. and in other countries, and are extremely comfortable that it is not a security; it never was a security”
Gary Gensler, a former Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) chairman, said that
“there is a strong case that one or both of [Ethereum and Ripple] are noncompliant securities.”
