Raoul Pal, former Goldman Sachs executive and author of 'Global Macro Investor,' recently shared insights on social media regarding the ETH/BTC exchange rate. According to ChainCatcher, Pal noted that the current dynamics align with the business cycle, specifically the rise in the ISM index and increasing liquidity. He emphasized that the long-term chart remains constructive, with ETH maintaining its value relative to BTC since 2017. If the current trend persists, ETH is expected to outperform BTC over time.
Pal explained that this is intuitively reasonable, as ETH, being a smart contract platform, has a fundamentally different total addressable market (TAM) compared to BTC's 'store of value' attribute. While BTC primarily carries the total savings value, ETH can embody the value of economic activity itself. Due to this distinction, the dominance of smart contracts relative to BTC is anticipated to rise over time.#ETH #BTC #exchange_rate #RaoulPal #ISM_index #liquidity #smartcontracts #TAM #economicactivity #dominance #cryptocurrency #blockchain
