Prakash Chand FD7 Managing Partner, made headlines with an on the record prediction that ‘the price of Cardano (ADA) and Polkadot (DOT) could rise to approximately 20X within the next 2-3 years.’ According to Chand, his bullish stance on the altcoins is based on a belief that institutional money will flow into Cardano, Polkadot, and Ethereum at an adoption rate much faster than seen with Bitcoin.
