Ethereum (ETH)
Ethereum remains the backbone of the decentralized finance (DeFi) and smart contract ecosystem. Following its transition to Ethereum 2.0, the network has improved scalability and reduced energy consumption. Analysts forecast that ETH could reach $10,000 by the end of 2025, driven by its pivotal role in powering decentralized applications.
Ethereum remains the leading smart contract platform, benefiting from continued network upgrades and its massive ecosystem of decentralized apps (dApps).
