Ethereum (ETH) Price Prediction: Outlook for 2025, 2030, and 2035
According to expert predictions, Ethereum's price will reach $4,308 by the end of 2025, rise to $10,882 by the end of 2030, and further climb to $22,374 by the end of 2035, a forecast more optimistic than the $4,153 in the April report.
Experts predict Ethereum (ETH) will reach $10,882 in 2030 and rise to $22,374 in 2035. Similar to the 2025 prediction, this expert group's expectations are slightly optimistic, higher than the average predictions in our April survey - which estimated ETH prices at $9,495 in 2030 and $17,042 in 2035.
Lifted Initiative's Blockchain Economy and AI Integration Chief Analyst Johnny Gabriele predicts Ethereum's price will reach $10,000 in 2025, comparing Ethereum to "global assets like oil".
Bitget CEO Gracy Chen states that Ethereum is the core of decentralized finance (DeFi) and has a bright future due to its scalable Layer-2 solutions.
These price predictions stem from Ethereum's role as a core pillar of decentralized finance (DeFi), with its real-world assets (RWA) tokenization expected to reach $16 trillion by 2030. Additionally, the Dencun upgrade has improved transaction speeds, promoting Ethereum's widespread use in payment systems. Strong institutional interest and Ethereum's scalable Layer-2 solutions further enhance its future prospects.
Alpha Node Global Managing Director Ben Ritchie predicts Ethereum's price will reach $6,000 in 2025, emphasizing institutional investor interest.
Our perspective is based on strong institutional interest growth, especially through the Ethereum spot ETF, and Ethereum's increasingly expanding role in custodying real-world assets (RWA). In short, RWA requires a solid and reliable core infrastructure, and Ethereum and its virtual machine (EVM) have proven their industry leadership through long-term practice.
Origin Protocol co-founder Josh Fraser is quite optimistic about Ethereum's (ETH) potential in 2025, predicting a price of $9,000, and suggests Ethereum could potentially surpass Bitcoin's market cap in the long term.
"Ethereum is the world's computer, with almost unlimited application scenarios. Ethereum's demand comes from ETFs, plus the ETH staking lockup, which is expected to further increase in 2025."
On the other hand, University of Canberra Senior Lecturer John Hawkins takes a more conservative view, predicting Ethereum's price at only $1,500.
"Although Ethereum is more technologically advanced and has less environmental impact, its price is highly correlated with Bitcoin."
Ethereum Price Range Prediction for 2025
The expert panel predicts Ethereum's (ETH) average peak price in 2025 will reach $4,746, with some predictions suggesting it could reach as high as $14,260.
Over two-fifths (43%) of experts believe ETH's price will rise to the $2,000 to $3,999 range by the end of 2025; one-third (33%) predict it will reach the $4,000 to $5,999 range during the same period.
Morpher CEO Martin Froehler is extremely optimistic about Ethereum's (ETH) 2025 prospects, predicting a price of $7,500, as Ethereum is seen as the preferred platform for real-world asset tokenization.
"Ethereum is currently the most decentralized blockchain and the preferred platform for real-world asset tokenization."
CryptoConsultz CEO Nicole DeCicco provides the highest prediction of $5,200, stating that Ethereum will remain strong long-term based on institutional investor participation.
"Ethereum remains one of the most reliable and widely used platforms in the crypto space, especially in real-world applications. The recent Pectra upgrade brought necessary improvements in transaction speed, wallet security, and validator performance. Its infrastructure is used by major players like BlackRock and PayPal, who wouldn't bet on a platform without long-term potential. Combining this widespread adoption with ongoing scaling progress, Ethereum still has enormous growth potential."
Low-end Predictions
· Average Lowest Price: The expert panel predicts Ethereum's average lowest price in 2025 at $1,940, with some predictions as low as $1,390.
· Bottom Range: Over half the experts (52%) believe Ethereum's lowest price in the remaining 2025 will be between $2,000 and $2,249.
Seasonal Tokens founder Ruadhan O suggests numerous unfavorable factors for Ethereum (ETH) in 2025, predicting the price could drop to $2,000 by year-end.
Ethereum dropped to $2,200 during recent war outbreaks, showing its current price support is less robust than Bitcoin (BTC). Ethereum's price has fallen 40% since its December election high. Without unexpected positive news in the coming months, breaking $4,000 in 2025 seems unlikely.
InFlux Technologies CEO Daniel Keller believes stagnant Gas Fees could negatively impact Ethereum's price, predicting a potential low of $1,500.
Ethereum (ETH) is currently oversold, with room for price increases. However, unchanged Gas fees might negatively impact it, so I predict only a slight price increase by the end of 2025.
Is Now the Best Time to Buy, Hold, or Sell Ethereum (ETH)?
Ethereum is currently trading below its January 2025 high point, which may prompt 57% of experts to believe now is a good time to buy Ethereum; 26% of experts recommend holding, while 17% advocate selling.
YouHodler Market Manager Ruslan Lienkha believes Ethereum is an asset worth buying, as it is the leading blockchain for stablecoin issuance.
Ethereum remains the leading blockchain for stablecoin issuance and non-financial applications in the broader economy. At the same time, it is still the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap and is generally considered more decentralized compared to its closest competitors.
FV Bank CEO Miles Paschini suggests holding ETH because it "remains the dominant decentralized network and has strong usage across multiple domains and Layer 2 support."
Joseph Raczynski, a futurist at JT Consulting & Media, also supports the hold perspective, stating:
70% of stablecoin transactions occur in the Ethereum ecosystem, including the top two stablecoins: Circle's USDC and Tether's USDT. With the passage of the GENIUS Act, most US companies will have new channels to attract more users. This is an underestimated critical moment that will have significant positive implications for Ethereum (ETH) in the future.
Desmond Marshall, Managing Director of Rouge International and Rouge Ventures, suggests that ETH should be sold, with no positive comments about the token.
"ETH has been consistently disappointing. Regardless of market conditions, its price has always hovered around a maximum of $2,600. I have been outspoken that ETH is heavily manipulated. It does have functionality as a token... but as a financial asset, it has no value."
Is Ethereum (ETH) Currently Overvalued, Undervalued, or Fairly Valued?
About 43% of the expert panel believes Ethereum is currently undervalued, 35% think the price is reasonable, and 22% believe the price is too high.
Kadan Stadelmann, CTO of Komodo Platform, believes Ethereum's price is somewhat dependent on Bitcoin's performance, but institutional adoption and ETF news will drive its price up. He believes Ethereum is currently undervalued.
Despite significant market progress and growth in recent years, Ethereum (ETH) remains an Altcoin that largely follows Bitcoin's trend. As we enter the final stage of this bull market, ETF news and institutional interest in Ethereum will continue to drive market activity upward.
John Murillo, Chief Business Officer at B2BROKER, considers Ethereum's current price to be fair.
Ethereum is facing fierce competition from cheaper DeFi protocols like Solana, Stellar, Uniswap, and other tokens. Despite ongoing upgrades including Pectra and Danksharding, the high gas fee issue remains unresolved, casting doubt on its future performance improvements. However, as a significant cryptocurrency, Ethereum will continue to participate in market fluctuations with the overall trend.
Mitesh Shah, Founder and CEO of Omnia Markets, states that Ethereum's price is currently reasonable, mainly due to the ETF launch and the growth of the RWA (Real World Assets) market:
The recent spot ETF launch has attracted over $4.2 billion in cumulative net inflows, creating a significant and sustained new source of demand for this asset. Meanwhile, the tokenization market for real-world assets (RWA) on Ethereum has grown to over $24 billion, consolidating its position as the primary settlement layer for this trillion-dollar opportunity. This growing utility, combined with the network's deflationary token burning mechanism and clear technical roadmap, provides a strong foundation for Ethereum's long-term positive valuation.
Drivers of Institutional Adoption
Ethereum remains the blockchain of choice for institutional players, despite competition from ecosystems like Solana. Currently, over 50 non-crypto enterprises, including global financial giants like BlackRock, PayPal, and Deutsche Bank, are operating on Ethereum and its Layer 2 networks.
So, what is driving Ethereum's institutional adoption?
· Broad Financial Integration: 92% of experts believe Ethereum solutions' applications in traditional finance (such as asset tokenization, stablecoins, and real-world assets) are the primary reason for its widespread institutional adoption.
ETF Launch: 71% of experts point to the launch of the Ethereum ETF as a key factor driving institutional adoption.
How Do You View the Future of Decentralized AI on Ethereum?
Decentralized AI platforms on Ethereum are beginning to emerge, but reportedly struggle to compete with centralized services in the face of technological and economic challenges. Experts have mixed views on this field's future:
Regarding the future of decentralized AI on Ethereum, the expert panel's opinions are relatively balanced. One-third (33%) maintain a neutral stance, believing that decentralized and centralized models will coexist to meet different needs.
Slightly fewer (29%) experts are optimistic, believing that technological advances will overcome current challenges, while another 29% express skepticism, believing that centralized platforms will remain dominant.
