David Hoffman, a prominent figure in the crypto space and founder of Bankless, has shifted his focus from 
Ethereum to another altcoin, predicting that its price rally may not be over.
Hoffman's endorsement comes at a time when the altcoin market is showing strength, with many alternative cryptocurrencies gaining momentum alongside 
Bitcoin's recent price increase.
While the specific altcoin Hoffman is referring to remains unidentified, his track record and influence in the crypto community could make his prediction a self-fulfilling prophecy, potentially driving further investment into the asset.
The broader crypto market is currently in a positive trend, with a total market capitalization of $2.89 trillion and a Fear & Greed index of 63, indicating a 'Greed' sentiment among investors.
Ethereum, the cryptocurrency Hoffman previously championed, is also performing well, currently priced at $2505.1 with a 24-hour increase of 2.32% and a 7-day gain of 3.36%.
