Ethereum (ETH) Price Predictions: Outlook for 2025, 2030, and 2035
According to expert predictions, Ethereum's price is expected to reach $4,308 by the end of 2025, rise to $10,882 by the end of 2030, and further climb to $22,374 by the end of 2035, which is a more optimistic forecast than the $4,153 predicted in the April 2025 report.
Experts predict that Ethereum (ETH) will reach $10,882 by 2030 and rise to $22,374 by 2035. Similar to the predictions for 2025, this expert group's expectations are slightly optimistic, higher than the average predictions from our April 2025 survey, when the forecast for Ethereum's price in 2030 was $9,495 and $17,042 for 2035.
Johnny Gabriele, Chief Analyst of the Lifted Initiative on blockchain economics and AI integration, predicts that Ethereum's price will reach $10,000 in 2025 and compares Ethereum to 'global assets like oil.'
Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget, states that Ethereum is at the core of decentralized finance (DeFi) and has bright prospects due to its scalable Layer-2 solutions.
These price predictions stem from Ethereum's role as a core pillar of decentralized finance (DeFi), with its application in real-world asset (RWA) tokenization expected to reach $16 trillion by 2030. Additionally, the increased transaction speed post-Dencun upgrade has also facilitated Ethereum's widespread use in payment systems. Strong institutional interest and Ethereum's scalable Layer 2 solutions further enhance its future prospects.
Ben Ritchie, Managing Director of Alpha Node Global, predicts Ethereum's price will reach $6,000 in 2025, emphasizing institutional investors' interest.
Our viewpoint is based on strong growth in institutional interest, particularly driven by the launch of Ethereum spot ETFs (exchange-traded funds) and Ethereum's expanding role in custody of real-world assets (RWA). In short, RWA requires a solid and reliable core infrastructure, and Ethereum and its virtual machine (EVM) have proven their industry leadership over the long term.
Josh Fraser, co-founder of Origin Protocol, is quite optimistic about Ethereum (ETH) in 2025, predicting its price will reach $9,000 and suggesting that Ethereum could surpass Bitcoin's market value in the long term.
"Ethereum is a global computer with virtually unlimited applications. The demand for Ethereum comes from ETFs, along with the amount of ETH locked for staking, which is expected to rise further in 2025."
On the other hand, John Hawkins, a senior lecturer at the University of Canberra, holds a more conservative view, predicting Ethereum's price will only reach $1,500.
"Although Ethereum is technically more advanced and has a lower environmental impact, its price is highly correlated with Bitcoin."
2025 Ethereum Price Range Prediction
The expert panel predicts that Ethereum (ETH) will reach an average peak price of $4,746 in 2025, with some predictions suggesting its price could be as high as $14,260.
Over two-fifths (43%) of experts believe that ETH's price will reach a maximum of $2,000 to $3,999 by the end of 2025; while one-third (33%) of experts expect its price to reach $4,000 to $5,999 during the same period.
Martin Froehler, CEO of Morpher, holds an extremely optimistic view of Ethereum (ETH) in 2025, predicting its price will reach $7,500, as Ethereum is seen as the preferred platform for real-world asset tokenization.
"Ethereum is currently the most decentralized blockchain and the preferred platform for real-world asset tokenization."
Nicole DeCicco, CEO of CryptoConsultz, offers a top prediction of $5,200, stating that Ethereum will remain strong in the long term based on institutional investor participation.
"Ethereum remains one of the most reliable and widely used platforms in the crypto space, especially in real-world applications. The recent Pectra upgrade has brought necessary improvements in transaction speed, wallet security, and validator performance. Its infrastructure is utilized by major players like BlackRock, PayPal, etc., who wouldn’t bet on a platform without long-term potential. Combined with this broad adoption and ongoing scaling progress, Ethereum still has significant room for growth."
Low-end Prediction
Average Low Price: The expert panel predicts that the average lowest price for Ethereum in 2025 will be $1,940, with some predictions going as low as $1,390.
Bottom Range: More than half of the experts (52%) believe that the lowest price for Ethereum during the remaining time in 2025 will be between $2,000 and $2,249.
Ruadhan O, founder of Seasonal Tokens, states that there are many unfavorable factors for Ethereum (ETH) in 2025, predicting that the price may drop to $2,000 before the end of the year.
Ethereum dropped to $2,200 during the recent outbreak of war, indicating that its current price support is weaker than Bitcoin's (BTC). Since the peak after the December elections, Ethereum's price has fallen by 40%. Without unexpected positive news in the coming months, the likelihood of the price breaking $4,000 within 2025 is low.
Daniel Keller, CEO of InFlux Technologies, believes that stagnant gas fees may negatively impact Ethereum's price, predicting its lowest price could drop to $1,500.
Ethereum (ETH) is currently oversold, and there is still room for price growth. However, unchanged gas fees may have a negative impact, so I predict that by the end of 2025, the price will only see a slight increase.
Is now the best time to buy, hold, or sell Ethereum (ETH)?
Ethereum's current trading price is below the January 2025 peak, which may lead 57% of experts to believe that now is a good time to buy Ethereum; 26% of experts recommend holding, while 17% advocate selling.
Ruslan Lienkha, the market director of YouHodler, believes that Ethereum is a worthy asset to buy because it is the leading blockchain for stablecoin issuance.
Ethereum remains the leading blockchain for stablecoin issuance and non-financial applications in the broader economy. At the same time, it remains the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization and is widely considered more decentralized than its closest competitors.
Miles Paschini, CEO of FV Bank, states that Ethereum (ETH) should be held as it 'remains the dominant decentralized network with strong usage across multiple fields and Layer 2 support.'
Futurist Joseph Raczynski from JT Consulting & Media also supports the hold view, stating:
70% of stablecoin trading volume occurs within the Ethereum ecosystem, including the two largest stablecoins: Circle's USDC and Tether's USDT. With the passage of the (GENIUS Act), most companies in the U.S. will have new channels to attract more users. This is an undervalued critical moment that will have a significant positive impact on Ethereum (ETH) in the future.
Desmond Marshall, Managing Director of Rouge International and Rouge Ventures, states that ETH should be sold, offering no positive remarks about the token.
"ETH has always been disappointing. Regardless of market conditions, its price hovers around the peak of $2,600. I have consistently pointed out that ETH is severely manipulated; it does have functionalities as a token... but as a financial asset, it is worthless."
Is Ethereum (ETH) currently overvalued, undervalued, or fairly valued?
Approximately 43% of the expert panel believes Ethereum is currently undervalued, 35% believe the price is fair, and 22% believe the price is too high.
Kadan Stadelmann, Chief Technology Officer of Komodo Platform, believes that Ethereum's price relies to some extent on Bitcoin's performance, but institutional adoption and ETF news will drive its price higher. He considers Ethereum's current price to be undervalued.
Despite significant progress and growth in the market over the past few years, Ethereum (ETH) remains a major altcoin that closely follows Bitcoin's trends. As we enter the final phase of this bull run, ETF news and institutional interest in Ethereum will continue to drive market activity upwards.
John Murillo, Chief Business Officer of B2BROKER, believes that Ethereum's current price is fair.
Ethereum faces fierce competition from cheaper DeFi protocols such as Solana, Stellar, Uniswap, and other tokens. Despite Ethereum undergoing multiple upgrades (including Pectra and Danksharding), the high gas fee issue remains unresolved, casting doubt on the market's expectations for its future performance. However, as a significant cryptocurrency, Ethereum will still participate in market fluctuations aligned with overarching trends.
Mitesh Shah, founder and CEO of Omnia Markets, states that Ethereum's current price is reasonable, mainly due to the launch of ETFs and the growth of the RWA (real-world assets) market:
The recent launch of spot ETFs has attracted over $4.2 billion in cumulative net inflows, creating a significant and sustained new source of demand for this asset. At the same time, the tokenization market for real-world assets (RWA) on Ethereum has grown to over $24 billion, solidifying its position as the primary settlement layer for this multi-trillion dollar opportunity. This increasing utility, coupled with the network's deflationary token burn mechanism and a clear technical roadmap, provides a strong foundation for Ethereum's long-term positive valuation.
Drivers of institutional adoption
Ethereum remains the preferred blockchain of institutional players, despite facing competition from ecosystems like Solana. Over 50 non-crypto companies, including global financial giants like BlackRock, PayPal, and Deutsche Bank, are currently operating on Ethereum and its Layer 2 networks.
So, what drives institutional adoption of Ethereum?
What is your view on the future of decentralized AI on Ethereum?
