Arthur Hayes: ETH Has Significant Catching-Up Potential, Eyeing $5,000 After Breaking $3,000

Odaily News: Arthur Hayes said on Laura Shin's podcast that ETH is one of the most unloved large-cap altcoins on the market—ranked second by market cap yet still hasn't surpassed its 2021 all-time high. He revealed that ETH is currently the largest position in the Maelstrom portfolio after Bitcoin, given its relatively manageable downside risk. Hayes believes ETH's gains this cycle have been limited, leaving substantial room for a catch-up rally. Once it breaks through the $3,000 threshold, reflexivity could drive prices sharply higher, potentially surpassing $5,000 sooner rather than later, with the year-end target within reach.
