For EOS to reach a price of $10–15 and potentially break its all-time high (ATH, around $22.89, reached in April 2018), a combination of exceptional circumstances will be required. Let's analyze when this might happen and what conditions are needed, as well as assess the likelihood of exceeding the ATH.

When can EOS reach $10–15?

  1. 2025–2026:
    This is unlikely in the next couple of years, unless the market enters an extreme bullish cycle comparable to the 2017–2018 years. To reach $10, EOS's market capitalization must grow to about $12–15 billion (from the current ~$1–$2 billion in March 2025, depending on circulating supply). This requires a 10–15 times increase, which is only possible with a massive influx of capital into altcoins and significant improvements in the EOS ecosystem. Probability: low (10–20%).

  2. 2027–2028:
    A more realistic timeframe, especially considering the impact of Bitcoin halving in 2028, which historically triggers alt seasons. If EOS strengthens its position by then (for example, becomes a leader in DeFi or Web3), and the market sees a new cryptocurrency boom, $10–15 will become achievable. Probability: moderate (30–40%).

  3. After 2028:
    If EOS does not reach such heights by 2028, it may happen later, in the next bull cycle (for example, 2031–2032), assuming long-term growth in blockchain technology adoption. The probability depends on the project's and market's development.

Will EOS break its maximum ($22.89)?

To exceed the ATH, EOS's market capitalization must reach around $25–30 billion (considering potential token supply increase). This is possible, but requires the following conditions:

  • Key platform improvements: EOSIO must offer something revolutionary (for example, zero fees, ultra-fast transactions, or mass adoption in the real sector) to stand out among competitors.

  • Market boom: The total market capitalization of the crypto market must grow to $5–10 trillion (from the current ~$2–$3 trillion by 2025), which will push altcoins up.

  • Return of hype: In 2018, EOS reached its ATH on the wave of ICO euphoria. A similar level of investor interest is needed for a new record.

At present, EOS lags behind in popularity and innovation compared to projects like Ethereum, Solana, or Avalanche. Without a significant breakthrough in development, the likelihood of breaking the ATH in 2025–2028 remains low (20–30%). However, in the long term (2030s), if the project survives and adapts, this cannot be ruled out.

What is needed for $10–15 and a new ATH?

  1. Technological breakthrough: Scalability, security, or partnerships with large companies.

  2. Community growth: Actively attracting developers and users of dApps.

  3. Bitcoin and market: BTC must exceed $100k–$150k, and altcoins must get their share of growth.

  4. Lack of competition: EOS must surpass or equal market leaders.

Conclusion

  • $10–15: Possible by 2027–2028 in an optimistic scenario, but unlikely sooner without extraordinary events.

  • Exceeding ATH ($22.89): Most likely not in the next 4 years, but possibly in a more distant perspective under ideal conditions.

The current EOS trajectory does not inspire much optimism for such heights in the near future, but the crypto market is unpredictable. Keep an eye on project news and general trends. Do you want to discuss specific indicators or competitors of EOS?
