ETC is still chosen as one of the coins with better liquidity, where relatively large positions can be sold easily. And some believe the asset remains underpriced based on the developer team's efforts and potential developments.

The bullish prediction for ETC is a price of $100 in the coming months, possibly achieved rather fast. Some believe ETC is also suitable for moving funds between exchanges, as the coin is widely offered. The asset is used on par with Litecoin for similar reasons of liquidity and accessibility.
