Michael Saylor, once critical of Ethereum, recently admitted he was wrong. The prominent Bitcoin advocate had previously predicted Ethereum would be labeled an unregistered security and never approved for a spot ETF.
What Changed in Saylor’s Views?
In a recent interview on the Altcoin Daily channel, Michael Saylor admitted to changing his views on Ethereum. He noted the turning point came in the second quarter of the year when former President Donald Trump began supporting the crypto community, acknowledging the growing influence of digital assets.
Saylor’s Key Expectations
Saylor sees two possible futures for the crypto world. In the first scenario, Bitcoin stays the only digital asset recognized as a commodity, while Ethereum and other cryptocurrencies remain in a gray area with unclear regulations. The second scenario, which now seems more likely, is the end of the “war on crypto,” allowing the industry to thrive under a more manageable regulatory environment.
Bright Future Ahead for Bitcoin and Ethereum
With the prospect of a digital assets framework becoming a reality, Saylor believes Bitcoin is poised for significant growth. Instead of growing at a rate of 20-40% per year, Bitcoin could see a much more rapid surge. As for Ethereum and other cryptocurrencies, they will likely experience a new lease on life with the emergence of a clear regulatory structure, which Saylor describes as a “crypto renaissance.”
Michael Saylor believes the crypto market as a whole now has new hope. He thinks that other digital assets will thrive if a clear regulatory framework is set, potentially helping the market grow from $100 billion to a $1 trillion.
