Finder analyzes expert price predictions every quarter. At the end of June 2025, we surveyed 24 crypto industry experts to find out their views on how Ethereum (ETH) will perform in the future up to 2035.
All prices mentioned in this report are in U.S. dollars.
The panel of experts predicts on average that the Ethereum price will reach $4,308 by the end of 2025, before rising to $10,882 by the end of 2030 and climbing further to $22,374 in 2035.
Ethereum (ETH) Price Prediction: Outlook for 2025, 2030 and 2035
According to experts’ forecasts, the Ethereum price will reach $4,308 by the end of 2025, rising to $10,882 by the end of 2030, and further climbing to $22,374 by the end of 2035, a more optimistic forecast than the $4,153 in the April 2025 report.
Experts predict that Ethereum (ETH) will reach $10,882 in 2030 and rise to $22,374 in 2035. Similar to the 2025 forecast, the panel’s expectations are slightly more optimistic and higher than the average forecast in our April 2025 survey, which expected ETH prices to be $9,495 in 2030 and $17,042 in 2035.
Johnny Gabriele, lead analyst for blockchain economics and AI integration at the Lifted Initiative, predicted that Ethereum prices will reach $10,000 by 2025, comparing Ethereum to global assets like oil.
Bitget CEO Gracy Chen said Ethereum is at the core of decentralized finance (DeFi) and has a bright future 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 use in the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA) expected to reach $16 trillion by 2030. In addition, the increased transaction speed after the Dencun upgrade has also promoted the widespread use of Ethereum in payment systems. Strong institutional interest and Ethereum’s scalable second-layer solutions further enhance its future prospects.
Ben Ritchie, managing director of Alpha Node Global, predicts that Ethereum prices will reach $6,000 by 2025 and highlights the interest of institutional investors.
Our view is based on the strong growth of institutional interest, especially through Ethereum spot ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds), and Ethereums expanding role in hosting real-world assets (RWAs). In short, RWAs require a solid and reliable core infrastructure, and Ethereum and its virtual machine (EVM) have long proven their industry leadership.
Origin Protocol co-founder Josh Fraser is quite optimistic about Ethereum’s (ETH) potential by 2025, predicting that its price will reach $9,000 and saying that Ethereum has the potential to surpass Bitcoin’s market cap in the long term.
“Ethereum is the world’s computer, and its application scenarios are almost unlimited. The demand for Ethereum comes from ETFs, and coupled with the amount of ETH locked for staking, it is expected to rise further in 2025.”
On the other hand, John Hawkins, a senior lecturer at the University of Canberra, took a more conservative view, predicting an Ethereum price of just $1,500.
“While Ethereum is more technologically advanced and has a lower environmental impact, its price is highly correlated with Bitcoin.”
Ethereum Price Range Prediction for 2025
The panel predicts that Ethereum (ETH) will reach an average peak price of $4,746 in 2025, with some predictions suggesting that the price could go as high as $14,260.
More than two-fifths (43%) of experts believe that the price of ETH will rise to a maximum range of $2,000-3,999 by the end of 2025, while a third (33%) expect its price to reach $4,000-5,999 in the same time frame.
Morpher CEO Martin Froehler is extremely optimistic about Ethereum’s (ETH) prospects in 2025, predicting that its price will reach $7,500 as Ethereum is seen as the go-to platform for tokenizing real-world assets.
“Ethereum is the most decentralized blockchain currently and the first choice for tokenizing real-world assets.”
Nicole DeCicco, CEO of CryptoConsultz, gave the highest prediction of $5,200 and said that Ethereum will remain strong in the long run based on the participation of institutional investors.
“Ethereum remains one of the most reliable and widely used platforms in crypto, especially for real-world applications. The recent Pectra upgrade brought much-needed improvements in transaction speed, wallet security, and validator performance. Its infrastructure is used by large players such as BlackRock, PayPal, etc., which will not bet on a platform without long-term potential. Combined with this widespread adoption and continued scaling progress, Ethereum still has huge room for growth.”
Low-end prediction
Average minimum price: The panel predicts an average minimum price of $1,940 for Ethereum in 2025, with some predictions going as low as $1,390.
Bottom range: More than half of the experts (52%) believe that the minimum price of Ethereum for the rest of 2025 will be between $2,000 and $2,249.
Ruadhan O, founder of Seasonal Tokens, said that there are many unfavorable factors for Ethereum (ETH) in 2025, and it is expected that the price may fall to $2,000 before the end of the year.
Ethereum fell to $2,200 at the outbreak of the recent war, showing that its current price support is not as strong as Bitcoin (BTC). Since the high point after the December election, the price of Ethereum has fallen by 40%. Without unexpected positive news in the next few months, the probability of prices breaking $4,000 in 2025 is low.
InFlux Technologies CEO Daniel Keller believes that the stagnation of gas fees could have a negative impact on Ethereum prices, predicting that its lowest price could fall to $1,500.
Ethereum (ETH) is currently oversold and the price still has room to rise. However, unchanged gas fees may have a negative impact on it, so I predict only a small increase in price by the end of 2025.
Is Now the Best Time to Buy, Hold or Sell Ethereum (ETH)?
Ethereum is currently trading below its January 2025 high, which may have prompted 57% of experts to believe that now is a good time to buy Ethereum; 26% of experts recommend holding, while 17% advocate selling.
YouHodler Head of Markets Ruslan Lienkha believes Ethereum is an asset worth buying because it is the leading blockchain for stablecoin issuance.
Ethereum remains the leading blockchain for stablecoin issuance and non-financial applications in the wider economy. It is also still the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap and is widely considered to be more decentralized than its closest competitor.
FV Bank CEO Miles Paschini said Ethereum (ETH) should be held because it “remains the dominant decentralized network and has strong usage in multiple sectors as well as Layer 2 support.”
Joseph Raczynski, a futurist at JT Consulting Media, also supports this view, saying:
70% of stablecoin trading volume occurs in the Ethereum ecosystem, including the top two stablecoins: Circles USDC and Tethers USDT. With the passage of the GENIUS Act, most companies in the United States will have new channels to attract more users. This is an underestimated 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, said that ETH should be sold and had nothing positive to say about the token.
“ETH has been a disappointment. Its price has always hovered around a maximum of $2,600 in both good and bad market conditions. I have been outspoken about how ETH is heavily manipulated and that it does have functionality as a token… but as a financial asset, it is worthless.”
Is Ethereum (ETH) currently overvalued, undervalued, or fairly valued?
About 43% of the panel believe that Ethereum is currently undervalued, 35% believe that it is fairly priced, and 22% believe that it is overpriced.
Kadan Stadelmann, CTO of Komodo Platform, believes that the price of Ethereum is somewhat dependent on the performance of Bitcoin, but institutional adoption and ETF news will drive its price up. He believes that the current price of Ethereum is undervalued.
Despite the significant progress and growth the market has seen over the past few years, Ethereum (ETH) remains an altcoin that primarily follows the movements of Bitcoin. As we enter the final stages of this bull run, ETF news and institutional interest in Ethereum will continue to drive market activity higher.
John Murillo, Chief Business Officer of B2B ROKER, believes that the current price of Ethereum is fair.
Ethereum is facing fierce competition from cheaper DeFi protocols such as Solana, Stellar, Uniswap, and other tokens. Although Ethereum is undergoing multiple upgrades (including Pectra and Danksharding), the high gas fee issue remains unresolved, which makes the market question its future performance. However, as an important cryptocurrency, Ethereum will still participate in market fluctuations with the overall market trend.
Mitesh Shah, founder and CEO of Omnia Markets, said that Ethereum’s price is currently reasonable, mainly due to the launch of ETFs and the growth of the RWA (real world asset) market:
The recent launch of spot ETFs has attracted over $4.2 billion in cumulative net inflows, creating a significant and sustained source of new demand for the asset. Meanwhile, the market for tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) on Ethereum has grown to over $24 billion, solidifying its position as the primary settlement layer for this multi-trillion dollar opportunity. This growing utility, coupled with the network’s deflationary token burn mechanism and clear technical roadmap, provides a strong basis for a positive long-term valuation for Ethereum.
Drivers of institutional adoption
Ethereum remains the blockchain of choice for institutional players, despite competition from ecosystems such as Solana. Currently, more than 50 non-crypto companies , including global financial giants such as BlackRock, PayPal, and Deutsche Bank, operate on Ethereum and its second-layer network.
So, what is driving Ethereum’s institutional adoption?
Broad Financial Integration: 92% of experts believe that the application of Ethereum solutions in traditional financial fields (such as asset tokenization, stablecoins, and real-world assets) is the main reason for its widespread adoption by institutions.
ETF launch: 71% of experts pointed out that the launch of an Ethereum ETF is a key factor in driving institutional adoption.
What do you think about the future of decentralized AI on Ethereum?
Decentralized AI platforms on Ethereum are beginning to gain traction, but are reportedly struggling to compete with centralized services due to technical and economic challenges. Experts have mixed views on the future of this space:
The panel was relatively evenly split on the future of decentralized AI on Ethereum, with a third (33%) holding a neutral stance, believing that decentralized and centralized models will coexist to meet different needs.
A slightly smaller number of experts (29%) are optimistic that technological advances will overcome current challenges; at the same time, another 29% are skeptical that centralized platforms will remain dominant.
