Did Mark Cuban Push Ether To New ATH?
Last Updated on 4 April 2021 by CryptoTips.eu
Remarkably on Saturday was the fact that Ether reached a new all time high as Bitcoin continued to get support near the $60k price point, just off its own record of $61.5k.
The new high of $2,144 for Ether came only days after billionaire Mark Cuban explained why he kept so much Ether in his crypto wallet.
Staking AAVE
The Shark Tank star had mostly been known for staking AAVE (his crypto wallet was laid bare back in January) and being a fan of Dogecoin (which he bought for his 11-year-old son Jake) and NFTs, but as of late Cuban is appearing in many crypto podcasts and interviews alongĀ crypto-connaisseurs.
Given Cubanās impressive background as anĀ angel investorĀ of so many companies that have gone on to make it big in the tech world, an endorsement from Cuban is a seal of approval for Wall Street.

Therefore, the comments that he made about Ether this week on the Delphi podcast seem to have resonated with investors.
Cuban stated that:
I own a lot of Ethereum because I think itās the closest to a true currency.
Investors took that to heart and sent Vitalik Buterinās coin skyrocketing ever since, climbing both Friday and Saturday.
The owner of the Dallas Mavericks explained why he liked Ethereum so much, saying:
What really changed everything was smart contracts. Smart contracts came along, and that created DeFi and NFTs. Thatās what changed the game. Thatās what got me excited. Thatās why itās a lot like the internet.
