Over the last few months, Ethereum (ETH) and the wider cryptocurrency market have operated in an atmosphere characterized by high inflation, in which the Federal Reserve took steps to enforce high-interest rates.
Notably, riskier assets like Ethereum have been hit hard as concerns about an economic slowdown have increased, with the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap briefly falling below the $1,000 support zone in June.
Notwithstanding the substantial decline in the price of Ethereum since the start of the year, the community over at CoinMarketCap is forecasting that the decentralized currency will trade at an average price of $2,529 by July 31, 2022.
This projection has received 11,529 votes and is $1,479 or 140% more than ETH’s current price.

Nevertheless, it is not all doom and gloom for the decentralized asset as it holds above the crucial $1,000 support level.

While recently Meta’s (NASDAQ: FB) Facebook has started testing Ethereum and Polygon NFTs with select creators in the U.S. at the same time Circle’s Euro Coin is available now on Ethereum and will be supported by leading crypto exchanges and DeFi protocols.
