#Ethereum (#ETH) May Drive Blockchain To Be As Broadly Adopted As The Internet, Fintech CEO Says
Ethereum (ETH) could be a major driving force for blockchain and cryptocurrency, says Circle CEO and co-founder Jeremy Allaire. "One of the things that really catalyzed the [cryptocurrency] market last year was actually that ethereum, in particular, kind of got to a place where you could build apps on top of it," he said, "You could issue new tokens on top of it; you could create new kinds of financial contracts, using the smart contracts technology." Ethereum is the 2nd largest cryptocurrency by market cap size. It's down 5.94% over the past 24 hours and is currently trading at $476.37 on Coinbase. It can be bought with fiat dollars, debit or credit cards, at cryptocurrency exchanges such as Coinbase, CEX.io, and Changelly.
