Per the tweet, the price of Ethereum has reached $1,589 for the first time since the middle of June, jumping nearly 19% over the past 24 hours.

Bloomberg's chief strategist bullish on ETH

Chief commodity strategist of Bloomberg Mike McGlone believes that Ethereum is quite capable of outperforming Bitcoin and stocks.

The main reason for this, he believes, is the Merge, which was basically a transition to a proof-of-stake model from the energy-consuming proof-of-work amid the current energy crisis. The switch took place in the middle of September and was a much-expected upgrade on Ethereum.

Besides, the expert stated that ETH is the "epicenter of the digitalization of finance and money," and this can also contribute and even become the basis for "enduring price appreciation."

At the time of this writing, Ethereum is trading at $1,547, per CoinMarketCap.
