Finder analyzes expert price predictions every quarter. At the end of June 2025, we surveyed 24 experts in the cryptocurrency industry to understand their views on the performance of Ethereum (ETH) in the future up to 2035.

All prices mentioned in this report are in US dollars.

The expert panel predicts that the price of ETH will reach $4,308 by the end of 2025, then rise to $10,882 by the end of 2030, and further climb to $22,374 by 2035.

Ethereum (ETH) Price Prediction: Outlook for 2025, 2030, and 2035

According to expert predictions, the price of Ethereum (ETH) is expected to reach $4,308 by the end of 2025, increase to $10,882 by the end of 2030, and further rise to $22,374 by the end of 2035. This forecast is more optimistic than the $4,153 reported in April 2025.

Experts predict that Ethereum (ETH) will reach $10,882 in 2030 and rise to $22,374 in 2035. Similar to the 2025 prediction, this group of experts' expectations are slightly optimistic, higher than the average forecast value from our April 2025 survey—at that time, the expected ETH price for 2030 was $9,495 and $17,042 for 2035.

Lifted Initiative blockchain economy and AI integration chief analyst Johnny Gabriele predicts that the price of Ethereum will reach $10,000 in 2025, comparing Ethereum to "global assets like oil."

Bitget CEO Gracy Chen stated that Ethereum is the core of decentralized finance (DeFi) and has a bright future due to its scalable Layer-2 solutions.

These price predictions stem from the role of Ethereum as a core pillar of decentralized finance (DeFi), with its application in the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA) expected to reach $16 trillion by 2030. Furthermore, the improvement in transaction speed after the Dencun upgrade has also facilitated the widespread use of Ethereum 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 that the price of Ethereum will reach $6,000 by 2025 and emphasizes the interest of institutional investors.

Our view is based on the strong growth of institutional interest, particularly driven by Ethereum spot ETFs (exchange-traded funds), as well as Ethereum's increasingly expanding role in the custody of real-world assets (RWA). In short, RWAs require a solid and reliable core infrastructure, and Ethereum and its Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) have proven their industry leadership over long-term practice.

Josh Fraser, co-founder of Origin Protocol, holds a rather optimistic view of Ethereum's (ETH) potential in 2025, predicting its price will reach $9,000 and stating that Ethereum has the potential to surpass Bitcoin's market capitalization in the long term.

"Ethereum is a global computer with almost limitless application scenarios. The demand for Ethereum comes from ETFs, coupled with the amount of ETH locked for staking, which is expected to rise further by 2025."

On the other hand, John Hawkins, a senior lecturer at the University of Canberra, holds a more conservative view, predicting that the price of ETH will be only $1,500.

"Although Ethereum is technically more advanced and has a lower environmental impact, its price is highly correlated with Bitcoin."

Ethereum Price Range Prediction for 2025

Experts predict that the average peak price of Ethereum (ETH) will reach $4,746 in 2025, with some forecasts suggesting that its 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 range of 2,000 to 3,999 dollars by the end of 2025; while one-third (33%) of experts expect its price to reach a range of 4,000 to 5,999 dollars during the same period.

Morpher CEO Martin Froehler is extremely optimistic about the prospects of Ethereum (ETH) in 2025, predicting its price will reach $7,500 as Ethereum is seen as the preferred platform for the tokenization of real-world assets.

"Ethereum is currently the most decentralized blockchain and the preferred choice for tokenizing real-world assets."

CryptoConsultz CEO Nicole DeCicco gave the highest forecast value of $5,200 and stated that Ethereum will remain strong in the long term based on the participation of institutional investors.

"Ethereum remains one of the most reliable and widely used platforms in the cryptocurrency space, especially in terms of 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 such as BlackRock and PayPal, companies that do not bet on a platform without long-term potential. With this broad adoption and ongoing scaling progress, Ethereum still has significant room for growth."

Low-end prediction

  • Average Minimum Price: Expert panel predicts that the average minimum price of Ethereum in 2025 will be $1,940, with some forecasts even as low as $1,390.
  • Bottom range: More than half of the experts (52%) believe that the lowest price of Ethereum for the remainder of 2025 will be between $2,000 and $2,249.

The founder of Seasonal Tokens, Ruadhan O, stated that there are many unfavorable factors for Ethereum (ETH) in 2025, and the price is expected to drop to $2,000 before the end of the year.

Ethereum recently fell to $2,200 during the outbreak of war, indicating that its current price support is weaker than that of Bitcoin (BTC). Since the high point after the December elections, Ethereum's price has dropped by 40%. If there are no unexpected positive news in the coming months, the likelihood of the price breaking through $4,000 within 2025 is low.

Daniel Keller, CEO of InFlux Technologies, believes that the stagnation of Gas Fees could have a negative impact on the price of ETH, predicting that its minimum price may drop to $1,500.

Currently, Ethereum (ETH) is in an oversold state, and there is still room for price increases. However, the unchanged Gas fees may have a negative impact on it, 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)?

The current trading price of Ethereum is below the peak in January 2025, which may lead 57% of experts to believe that now is a good time to buy Ethereum; 26% of experts suggest holding, while 17% of experts advocate selling.

Will Ethereum's price exceed $22,000 by 2035? 24 experts analyze bull market logic and risks

YouHodler's market director Ruslan Lienkha believes that ETH is a worthy asset to buy because it is the leading blockchain for stablecoin issuance.

Ethereum remains the leading blockchain for non-financial applications in stablecoin issuance and the broader economy. At the same time, it is still the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization and is widely regarded as more decentralized compared to its closest competitors.

Miles Paschini, CEO of FV Bank, stated that Ethereum (ETH) should be held because it "remains the dominant decentralized network and has strong usage rates across multiple areas as well as Layer 2 support."

Joseph Raczynski, the futurist from JT Consulting & Media, also supports the view of holding, stating that:

70% of stablecoin trading volume occurs within the Ethereum ecosystem, including the top two stablecoins: Circle's USDC and Tether's 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 undervalued key moment that will have a significant positive impact on Ethereum (ETH) in the future.

Desmond Marshall, Managing Director of Rouge International and Rouge Ventures, stated that ETH should be sold and had no positive comments about the token.

"ETH has always been disappointing. Regardless of market conditions, its price always hovers around a maximum of $2600. I have always pointed out frankly that ETH is heavily manipulated; 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 expert panel believes that Ethereum is currently undervalued, 35% think the price is reasonable, and 22% believe the price is too high.

Kadan Stadelmann, the Chief Technology Officer of the Komodo Platform, believes that the price of ETH relies to some extent on the performance of Bitcoin, but institutional adoption and ETF news will drive its price up. He thinks that the current price of ETH is undervalued.

Despite the significant progress and growth in the market over the past few years, Ethereum (ETH) remains a major altcoin that follows Bitcoin's trend. As we enter the final phase of this bull market, ETF news and institutional interest in Ethereum will continue to drive market activity upwards.

B2B ROKER Chief Business Officer John Murillo believes that the current price of ETH is fair.

Ethereum is facing intense competition from cheaper DeFi protocols such as Solana, Stellar, Uniswap, and other tokens. Although Ethereum is undergoing several upgrades (including Pectra and Danksharding), the issue of high Gas fees remains unresolved, raising doubts in the market about its future performance. However, as an important cryptocurrency, Ethereum will still participate in market fluctuations along with the overall trend.

Mitesh Shah, founder and CEO of Omnia Markets, stated that the current price of ETH 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, combined with the network's deflationary token burn mechanism and clear technical roadmap, provides a strong foundation for Ethereum's long-term positive valuation.

Driving Forces Adopted by Institutions

Ethereum remains the preferred blockchain for institutional players, despite facing competition from ecosystems such as Solana. Currently, over 50 non-crypto enterprises, including global financial giants like BlackRock, PayPal, and Deutsche Bank, are conducting business on Ethereum and its layer two networks.

So, what is driving institutional adoption of Ethereum?

  • Extensive Financial Integration: 92% of experts believe that the application of Ethereum solutions in traditional finance (such as asset tokenization, stablecoins, and real-world assets) is the main reason for its widespread adoption by institutions.
  • Launch of ETFs: 71% of experts indicate that the launch of Ethereum ETFs is a key factor driving institutional adoption.

What is your view on the future of decentralized AI on Ethereum?

Decentralized AI platforms on Ethereum are beginning to emerge, but it has been reported that they struggle to compete with centralized services in the face of technical and economic challenges. Experts have differing views on the future of this field:

The expert panel's opinions on the future of decentralized AI on Ethereum are relatively balanced. One-third (33%) hold a neutral stance, believing that decentralized and centralized models will coexist to meet different needs.

A slightly smaller number of experts (29%) are optimistic, believing that technological advancements will overcome the current challenges; meanwhile, another 29% of experts express skepticism, believing that centralized platforms will still maintain dominance.
