Ethereum Touches US$4,300, Analysts Reveal Next Price Predictions
Ethereum (ETH) successfully broke through the US$4,300 level for the first time since late 2021. This surge was triggered by the weakening US dollar and the increasing institutional interest in the world's second-largest cryptocurrency.
According to CoinMarketCap data as of Monday (11/8/2025), ETH was recorded trading at US$4,302, with an increase of about 1% in the last 24 hours. The last time ETH was in this range was in November 2021, when a major rally pushed it to an all-time high of US$4,891.

The weakening US dollar and expectations of a Federal Reserve interest rate cut in September have sparked risk appetite across various assets. The sentiment was further strengthened by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) decision that clarified that liquid staking services are not included in the category of security offerings. This regulatory clarity is seen as removing a major barrier for Ethereum, particularly in attracting institutional participation in yield-based ETH products.
Regulators have also signaled a broader easing of policies. Some stablecoins with guaranteed redemption provisions can now be categorized as cash equivalents based on the latest accounting guidelines.
In addition, new guidance from the US White House allows cryptocurrencies to enter 401(k) retirement programs and prohibits banks from denying services to cryptocurrency companies solely due to reputational reasons.
