$ETH Price predictions for Ethereum (ETH) by the end of 2025

Optimistic scenario (with ETF and growth in adoption):

Price: 6,000 – 8,500 USD

Reasons:

Approval of spot Ethereum ETF in the USA

Massive increase in the use of L2 solutions (zkSync, Optimism, Arbitrum)

Another wave of interest in DeFi and staking

Accelerated scaling due to Proto-Danksharding

Strong institutional adoption (banks, funds)

Neutral scenario:

Price: 3,500 – 5,000 USD

Reasons:

No ETF, but stable ecosystem development

Increased competition from other smart chains (e.g., Solana, Avalanche)

Volatile but slightly bullish market sentiment

Pessimistic scenario:

Price: 1,800 – 2,800 USD

Reasons:

Delay or rejection of ETF

Global regulations dampening interest in crypto

Technical issues in the network, security incidents

Interesting fact: An increasing amount of ETH is locked in staking, which reduces supply in the market – the so-called "supply shock" could further push prices up.
