Su Zhu, the co-founder of Three Arrow Capital, had revealed his bullishness about crypto in an interview with Bloomberg Business in February of 2022, where he said,

“I also think we are entering an era where the potential of Bitcoin to become one of the key reserve currencies of people and nations is becoming clearer than ever. It will not be a smooth ride, but it will be a highly meaningful one for those who take the journey.” 

Ethereum (ETH) was not left out of the carnage that swept across the crypto industry a few days ago. At press time, ETH was trading at $2,028.67, down by 3.1% on the 24-hour chart. ETH was also down by 13.3% on the 7-day chart, and down by 32.2% on the monthly chart. Moreover, Ethereum is 58.2% below its all-time high of $4,878.26, which it attained in November of 2021, during the incredible bull run of that year.
