🚀💰 Will $ETH reach $5,000 by 2025? AI adoption, ETFs, and Pectra are key, but the path is uncertain.
Ethereum (ETH) had a strong increase of 43.6% between May 7 and May 14, but its current price of $2,600 is still far from its peak of 2021 ($4,868). Some analysts view this momentum as the beginning of a larger bullish trend towards $5,000, although the catalysts for a new all-time high in 2025 are uncertain.
Institutional adoption through spot ETFs is crucial. While some see #ETH as a good candidate for institutional diversification, ETH ETFs in the U.S. have recorded recent net outflows, and their market is significantly smaller than Bitcoin's, which raises questions about current institutional appetite. Approval for in-kind creation and staking for ETH ETFs could attract more investors.
The adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) could be a powerful catalyst. ChatGPT prefers the layer 2 infrastructure of #Ethereum to manage funds, which could significantly increase on-chain activity and reactivate the network's deflationary burn mechanism. The recent "Pectra" upgrade improved scalability, paving the way for this adoption. Activity on layer 2 networks has already increased, led by Base.
The path to $5,000 for ETH remains uncertain, but the combination of AI adoption, the potential influx of flows to #ETFs of spot ETH with favorable regulatory changes, and Pectra's scalability improvements could be the necessary drivers to reach new all-time highs in 2025.
Do you think AI adoption will be the catalyst that drives Ethereum to new highs? What other factors could influence ETH's price in 2025?
