Predicted Price Surge for Ethereum: Analysts Believe $10,000 ETH is No Longer a Joke - They Suggest the Reverse of Bitcoin Dominance Is Likely
Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalisation, is currently holding strong above its 50-day moving average near $3,300. This stability comes amidst a surge of 21% over the past seven days, outpacing most large-cap altcoins.
The recent growth in Ethereum's network activity is evident, with active addresses climbing 9% in the past week. This surge can be attributed to various factors, including the ongoing network upgrades and increasing institutional adoption.
One such upgrade is the Pectra enhancement, which aims to improve scalability and prepare Ethereum for sharding and faster Layer-2 solutions. This upgrade is expected to bolster network efficiency and usability, setting the stage for a deeper uptrend in ETH prices.
Institutional inflows and staking are also playing a significant role in reducing the circulating supply of ETH, with nearly 30% of Ethereum currently staked. This reduction in supply, coupled with sustained demand, may drive the price upward.
The expanding corporate and traditional finance presence on Ethereum’s platform, especially in tokenized assets and stablecoins, is another factor contributing to the sustained demand.
Analysts, such as Tom Lee from Fundstrat, have forecasted ETH to reach $10,000–$15,000 by year-end, while Colin Talks Crypto projects even up to $20,000 during this cycle.
If Ethereum reaches $10,000, considering the circulating supply (around 120 million ETH), the market cap could approach or exceed $1.2 trillion. This would place Ethereum as a dominant asset class in the crypto market and rivaling or surpassing several major global companies.
However, it's important to note that while consensus leans bullish, there remain risks linked to broader economic factors and regulatory developments. At least one source indicates a more conservative estimate of around $4,800 to $5,500 by end of 2025 if macroeconomic conditions or institutional interest weaken.
Meanwhile, the Flippening narrative is gaining traction, suggesting Ethereum could eclipse Bitcoin's market cap if the momentum continues.
