  • Crypto Investor James Wo Doubts Ethereum's Upside, Backs Bitcoin
    June 6, 2026, 12:11 PM EDT. James Wo, CEO of DFG, a billion-dollar crypto investment firm, reasserted bitcoin's dominance at the Proof of Talk conference in Paris. Wo challenged predictions that ether (Ethereum's token) could hit $250,000, citing bitcoin's unique institutional recognition and consensus as a key advantage. Trading near $63,000, bitcoin is viewed by Wo as a safe-haven asset in crypto and traditional finance circles. Ether, around $1,775, faces challenges as Ethereum's value relies on localized application layers, while Layer-2 networks divert transactional volume. Wo doubts ether will reach new highs, unlike bitcoin. This view contrasts with Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin's optimism about future network upgrades potentially boosting value capture at the base layer.
