According to Goldman Sachs most people now prefer using Ethereum’s smart contracts due to ETH’s increasing popularity. This situation may lead to Ethereum overtaking Bitcoin soon to become the first crypto on market cap.

Goldman Sachs gave predictions on both Ethereum and Bitcoin. According to them Ether’s (ETH) total market cap might overtake Bitcoin (BTC) in few more years.

Ethereum has become the most popular and used development platform, says Goldman Sachs. ETH has the highest recorded ‘real use-case’ among all smart contract applications.
