Speaking to CNBC on Wednesday, October 13, Mark Cuban said that he’s more bullish on the future of Ethereum. When asked which cryptocurrency he would suggest to beginners in the crypto space, Cuban named Ethereum (ETH). “As an investment, I think ethereum has the most upside,” he added.

Recently, speaking to CNBC, real-estate billionaire Barry Sternlicht also showered praises for Ethereu, He said:
Bitcoin is a dumb coin, it has no real purpose other than a store of value, and it’s crazily volatile. So Ether, I own some of that, it’s a programmable Bitcoin and there are tons of other coins that are built on that system.
Institutional inflows in Ethereum (ETH) have been growing consistently since the beginning of 2021. Once the Bitcoin ETF comes to the market, financial players will start applying for Ethereum ETF very soon.
