Hi there - we looked into this. It appears what the PR meant was that with ETH going up so much and now well in excess of $1,000 that this could not be a better time for the release of an ETH derivative. Sorry for any confusion in this respect.

To give you a better understanding of how ETH affects the FUTR price though, if you look at the WP you will notice that it was written at the time ETH was $750. With the price where it is now, the price of FUTR has doubled by Level 2 compared with the former Level 1 price. So in other words, ETH may have gone up just 30% or so, but the FUTR is already well beyond that increase and in Level 2 all things being equal it is double that.

The $1,000+ ETH price is really a big deal for FUTR either way.
