Jim Cramer Says He Plans to Buy Ethereum for His Kids

HKAN | Aug 25

 

Jim Cramer, the host of CNBC’s Mad Money and a well-known Wall Street personality, has revealed that he intends to buy Ethereum (ETH) for his children, according to a recent report. The move comes as Ethereum continues to attract mainstream attention, with institutional investors and retail traders alike viewing it as more than just a cryptocurrency—but as the backbone of decentralized finance (DeFi), NFTs, and smart contracts.

Cramer, who has previously shared both bullish and bearish takes on digital assets, suggested that Ethereum’s long-term potential is what makes it a worthwhile investment for his kids’ portfolios. While he did not disclose how much ETH he plans to purchase, his remarks reflect a growing trend among high-profile financial figures who see digital assets as part of the next generation’s wealth strategy.

Ethereum has often been dubbed the “world’s computer” because of its ability to power decentralized applications (dApps). With the shift to Ethereum 2.0 and proof-of-stake, the network has seen significant upgrades aimed at scalability, energy efficiency, and security.

Financial experts note that Cramer’s decision may signal increasing mainstream acceptance of Ethereum beyond Bitcoin. Many families and institutions are now diversifying into crypto as a hedge against inflation and as exposure to emerging technology.

As of now, Ethereum remains the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, and Cramer’s announcement adds to the growing narrative that crypto is not just speculation, but a long-term investment opportunity.
