Analysts Predict a Potential 10x Price Rally for ENA

As the ENA airdrop claim page came online, the token swiftly became available for trading on leading centralized cryptocurrency exchanges such as Binance, Bybit, KuCoin, HTX, MEXC, and BitMart. This accessibility has further fueled the momentum behind ENA's impressive price surge.

Last week, the Binance Launchpool announced the inclusion of Ethena Labs' ENA token as the 50th project on its platform. Since then, Ethena has garnered the attention of industry heavyweights. Earlier today, BitMEX CEO Arthur Hayes boldly asserted that ENA has the potential to soar to a remarkable $10.

Hayes's analysis highlights ENA's impressive rally despite the absence of participation from Korean traders. He foresees a significant surge in the Ethena price once Korean investors enter the trading fray, indicating a promising outlook for ENA's continued market dominance.
