Market strategy and research firm Fundstrat stated that Ethereum will become the 'largest macro trade' in the next decade, with expectations that its price will soar to as high as $15,000 by the end of 2025.
Thomas Lee, Chief Information Officer at Fundstrat Capital, stated: 'As AI creates token economies on the blockchain and Wall Street financializes the blockchain, Ethereum could be the biggest macro trade in the next 10 to 15 years.'
Meanwhile, Fundstrat's head of digital asset research, Sean Farrell, predicts that the price of Ethereum could reach $12,000 to $15,000 by the end of this year, 'leaving plenty of room for growth.'
In a company research briefing on Wednesday, Li stated that Wall Street's push will be driven by the GENIUS Act's stablecoin regulation and the SEC's 'crypto projects' aimed at preparing for the digital finance era.
Li also pointed out that most stablecoins and Wall Street projects are built on Ethereum (ETH). According to RWA.xyz, the Ethereum network currently holds a 55% market share in the $25 billion real asset tokenization sector.
Significant price predictions for Ethereum
Farrell expects the price of Ethereum to reach $10,000, slightly more than double its current value.
In the past 30 days, the price of Ethereum has risen by 60%, reaching a four-year high of $4,770, just 2.5% lower than the peak in 2021.
'Ethereum has outperformed Bitcoin this year to date, with a rise of 28%, while Bitcoin's increase is 18%,' Li noted.
BitMine holds $5.5 billion worth of Ethereum
Thomas Lee leads BitMine, the world's largest Ethereum treasury company, which plans to raise $20 billion to expand its treasury.
Since early July, the company has accumulated 1.2 million ETH, with its treasury now valued at nearly $5.5 billion. Meanwhile, the company's stock (BMNR) skyrocketed by 1,300% during the same period.
Formula for sustained upward pressure
Rachel Lucas, a crypto analyst for the BTC market, stated in a note to Cointelegraph that these positions are strategic and long-term, 'drawing a large amount of liquidity out of the market.'
'When record ETF inflows combine with corporate and sovereign balance sheet allocations, the result is deep structural demand meeting limited supply,' she said, adding:
'This is a formula for sustained upward pressure on prices, indicating that digital assets have firmly embedded themselves in the global capital markets.'
In July, BitMine stated that the intrinsic value of Ethereum could be as high as $60,000.
