🌟 Ethereum confidently strengthened its position in 2025: price around $2,500 at the beginning of July after retesting support in the $2,400 zone. This movement restored investor optimism and provided strength to expect further growth.

🔧 What affects the price now?

1. Institutional ETFs and influence funds.
An inflow of about $10 billion into the ETH ETF has already had an effect — the price increased by ~8% in one day.

2. Technical improvements.
The latest Pectra update, activated in May 2025, expands wallet functionality and reduces fees, making the network more user-friendly.

3. Growth of the DeFi and NFT ecosystems.
Ethereum remains the platform of choice for most DeFi applications and NFTs — an active burn token mechanism reduces inflation and increases ETH scarcity.

📈 What to expect next?

  • Targets by the end of 2025: forecasts suggest a range of $3,300–3,400, and under favorable conditions — up to $4,200–5,900.

  • In some scenarios, ETH could reach $7,000–10,000 by early 2026 if the demand for ETFs continues to grow and the implementation of sharding accelerates.

Nevertheless, there is a risk of short-term correction if the $2,600 support level breaks.

📦 Why should you add ETH, XRP, and PEPE to your portfolio?

✅ $ETH — bet on infrastructure, upgrades, and institutional demand. A base asset for DeFi, NFT, and DAO.

✅ $XRP — payment token, often retraces ETH market movements and serves as a liquidity 'insurance.'

✅ $PEPE — meme token with high movement and community volumes. It reacts to information noise faster than ETH can react to ETF.

This mix provides:

  • ✅ fundamentals (ETH)

  • 🔄 short-term movement (PEPE)

  • stability and balance (XRP)

🧩 Example of a portfolio and distribution

ETH - 60% - Growth with built-in utility

XRP - 25% - Fintech stability and liquidity

PEPE - 15% - Volatility and trading options

⚠️ Risks to be aware of

  • The price of ETH could retrace to $2,400 under increased pressure or negative news.

  • PEPE — meme token, highly sensitive to market sentiment.

  • XRP depends on integrations and may retrace without technological positives.

I recommend maintaining stop losses, rebalancing positions during growth, and tracking major news events (ETFs, upgrades, etc.).

✅ Summary

Ethereum in 2025 received new momentum: support at $2,400, increased volumes, ETF influences, and serious upgrades.
Under favorable conditions, ETH could rise above $3,300–3,400, and in a peak scenario — up to $5,900+ by the end of the year.

The combination of ETH, XRP, and $PEPE is a way to combine technological growth, stability, and movement. This strategy is suitable for those who want to participate in ETH growth while diversifying between stability and dynamics.
