Hello everyone, I am Little Jelly
Today let's talk about Ethereum (ETH), the star coin that will 'quietly make a fortune' in 2025. From over 1800 dollars at the beginning of the year to 4200 dollars now, the increase is over 130%! Why is ETH suddenly so strong? Can it continue to rise in the future? Based on the latest data and facts, I will help everyone analyze it~
1. Overview of ETH changes in 2025: Let the data speak!
Price surge: Starting price of 1823 USD in January, breaking 4210 USD on August 11! On August 8, it even surged to 4358 USD, creating a new high for the year. Trading volume is booming, with an average of 4.5-4.9 billion dollars per day.
Network upgrades: Fusaka hard fork will launch in November, improving scalability, with lower gas fees, and DeFi locked assets increasing from 50 billion dollars to 120 billion dollars. Layer-2 networks (like Arbitrum) handle 70% of transactions, and the ecosystem is super active!
Institutional enthusiasm: ETH ETF inflows exceed 10 billion dollars, whales are crazily hoarding, and supply has decreased by 2% (burning 500,000 ETH). NFT trading volume has doubled year-on-year, and DeFi is recovering.
These changes are not baseless but real progress. Compared to Bitcoin, ETH is more like the 'king of applications', with DeFi and NFT being its trump cards.
2. Why is ETH's price surging? Dual driving forces of internal and external factors
Internal factors: Technical excellence! Upgrades make the network faster and cheaper, attracting developers. The supply mechanism is becoming increasingly scarce like 'Bitcoin halving', so the price naturally rises.
External factors: Institutional love! After the approval of the US ETF, funds are flooding in. Bitcoin breaking 100,000 dollars drives altcoins, and expectations of Federal Reserve interest rate cuts make crypto more attractive. Market sentiment has shifted from 'fear' to 'greed', with everyone on X shouting 'ETH will surpass BTC'!
In simple terms, ETH is not relying on speculation but on strength + timing. Institutions + upgrades = formula for a big surge!
3. Future predictions
Short-term (by the end of the year): Stable at 4000-6000 dollars, may break 7000 after Fusaka goes live. But beware of regulatory fluctuations.
Mid-term (2026-2030): Bull market continues, averaging 5000-10000 dollars.
Risks: Competition from Solana or macroeconomic recession, but overall optimistic — ETH is the 'infrastructure king' of crypto.
