Dogecoin (DOGE) prices have jumped considerably during the last 24 hours.

Cardano (ADA) is trading for $1.46 per coin, polkadot (DOT) is swapping for $42, and litecoin (LTC) is hovering around $272 per coin. Uniswap (UNI) is currently trading for $35 per unit and is up 1.3% today. The tenth-largest market position is held by dogecoin (DOGE) trading for $0.141 and is up a significant 86% on Wednesday. DOGE has been the forerunner as far as 24-hour gains are concerned among the top ten leading crypto assets.

‘Bitcoin Is Expanding its Range’

Just before the Coinbase direct listing and as BTC has touched a new ATH, a great number of investors and crypto executives are very positive. “Bitcoin has been continuously moving out of its niche, that’s no secret,” Eric Demuth, Co-CEO and founder of Bitpanda explained to Bitcoin.com News. “Whether it is its greater coverage in mainstream media, or the adoption of Bitcoin trading infrastructures by major banks such as JPM or Goldman Sachs. The decisive step was probably the first investments made by S&P 500 companies.”

Demuth further added:

Today, Bitcoin is expanding its range of private customers and is becoming increasingly important as an investment object for companies and pension funds. It’s record-smashing rally seen in recent weeks was partly driven by the entry of institutional money to the market. And yet, it seems as if opinions have become polarized leaving only two extreme positions on the subject: those who see this cryptocurrency as the holy grail and those who still refer to it as a purely speculative object and try to devalue Bitcoin with outdated and false myths.

Pantera Capital Predicted Bitcoin’s Current Price Range Last Year

Additionally, many others are quite optimistic about the market movements and BTC’s latest ATH. Dan Morehead, the CEO of Pantera Capital explained that his firm predicted these prices.

Pantera Capital’s predictions last year in the company’s April 2020 Investor Letter.

“This is getting ridiculous. A year ago we predicted Bitcoin hitting $62,968 this week. It just did. This Bitcoin rally is EXACTLY like previous halvings. Likely to reach $115k by August,” Morehead tweeted. The company also published the firm’s April 2020 Investor Letter which shows the firm’s prediction.
