$ETH Ethereum’s price has been a wild ride—hitting $4,800 in 2021, crashing below $1,000 in 2022, and rebounding as of 2025 (exact figures depend on today’s market, but let’s say it’s hovering near $3,500). Catalysts? The Merge boosted confidence, staking rewards draw hodlers, and dApp adoption fuels demand. Yet, macro factors like interest rates and crypto regulations keep it volatile. Analysts split on its future: some see $10,000 by 2030; others warn of altcoin competition. It’s a bet on utility over hype.
