Ethereum Surges Past Mastercard: The $10K Price Target Nobody Saw Coming
Move over, legacy finance—Ethereum just flipped Mastercard’s market cap. And it’s not stopping there.
### The Silent Takeover
While Wall Street was busy shorting memecoins, ETH quietly became the backbone of decentralized finance. No boardrooms, no middlemen—just code.
### Why TradFi Should Sweat
Visa’s 1.8% transaction fees look downright medieval when Ethereum settles payments for pennies. Banks? They’re still using SWIFT like it’s 1983.
### The Next Frontier
$10K isn’t a moonboy meme anymore—it’s the next liquidity magnet. Institutional FOMO meets DeFi yield farming. Buckle up.
