Speaking about the latest psychological significant milestone, Sui Chung, CEO, CF Benchmarks, said:
“Less than a month after Bitcoin broke through $20k its price has doubled to $40k. It’s now hard for anyone to deny we are seeing the maturation of a whole new asset class, This could be the ‘broadband moment’ for cryptocurrency – where every company and individual needs to think seriously about how they engage and interact with cryptocurrency.”
– CEO, CF Benchmarks

- Ethereum – Up 62% in 2021
- Stellar – Up 150% in 2021
