This article will delve deeper into the question of whether ETH can beat BTC to become the largest cryptocurrency in the years to come, based on the estimates of the famous Bitcoin bull.

As reported by Bitcoin Magazine, Mike Novogratz, CEO of Galaxy Digital, stated in a recent interview:

“I think ETH will most likely one day become the second largest or even the largest cryptocurrency.”

However, in his opinion, ETH has a “completely different use case” than Bitcoin.

Regarding Bitcoin, he said that the king of cryptocurrency is a “beautifully designed store of value”. Ethereum serves as the “base layer for Web 3.0 on which everything is built”.

However, Ethereum is currently facing “strong competition from ecosystems such as Solana, Terra and others”. He added:

“… Many innovations will come and be based on Ethereum or one of these platforms that will inspire you in the next 5 years.”

Regardless of the market correction, it reiterated the positive sentiment towards the crypto industry as a whole.

“Still in the early stages of this revolution… But nobody thinks the system will go away. Regulation will strengthen the system in many ways. “

The following table illustrates the forecast made by Coinstack analyst Ryan Allis.
