> In the shorter term, said Kendrick, the bitcoin [BTC] halving in April 2024 "should help lift all boats," and he sees ether hitting $4,000 by the end of next year.

Kendrick said the bitcoin halving in April 2024 should help lift all boats in the shorter term. More broadly, he argued that Ethereum's use shifting from NFTs and DeFi towards gaming and tokenization should add significant demand.
