In a new report released by Standard Chartered, the team of industry experts perceives the cryptocurrency market crash on Tuesday as a “false discount“, reiterating the forecast of Bitcoin (BTC) a 100.000$ “by the end of the year or early 2022“, accompanied by a sharp rise in Ether (ETH).
The research team states that Ether is “structurally“valued between $ 26,000 and $ 35,000 – 10 times its current price – but BTC will have to reach a price of $ 175,000 for that to happen.
Nick Spanos, one of the first BTC exchange operators and co-founder of Zap Protocol, also defines the recent market downturn as a false decline. “Big finance and the media claim that an irregular launch took place in El Salvador. I am in El Salvador right now and the situation is exciting“, he said, adding:
“We have a president who is open to new horizons, like a high-level CEO who pushes innovation. He believes in it: he bought the discount, as everyone should do ”.
Spanos supports the idea of Bitcoin (BTC) at $ 100,000 by the end of the year, adding that Ether will also try to hit $ 10,000 by then.

Spanos concluded by stating that “after the dip the prices are substantially discounted, it will almost certainly prove to be a big move“.
At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s price is hovering around $ 46,300. Tuesday, the day El Salvador adopted BTC as its legal tender, Bitcoin was sailing around $ 53,000, before the sharp drop that brought it back to $ 43,000.
