As reported by CoinGecko, each of the eight analysts they polled expressed a positive outlook for Ethereum. Their predictions indicate that its price could potentially rise from approximately $4,400 up to as high as $166,000.

As a researcher delving into the realm of cryptocurrencies, I’m sharing some predictions from various institutions about the future price of Ethereum (ETH). VanEck anticipates ETH might reach $22,000 by 2030, and potentially soar as high as $154,000 in a particularly bullish outlook. Ark Invest has a more prolonged prediction, expecting ETH to hit $166,000 by 2032.

Expectations remain on Ethereum ETFs

Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) based on Ethereum started trading in the U.S. around late July, making it easier for professional investors and advisors to invest in this globally significant cryptocurrency through a financial product they are familiar with and often prefer.

2021 saw the U.S. introduction of Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) as a major factor propelling Bitcoin to its record peak of $73,780. These ETFs provide an investment avenue for Bitcoin without the potential hazards associated with self-custody.

As a researcher, I am eagerly anticipating significant developments with Ethereum ETFs, given the successful debut of Bitcoin ETFs and the recent dip in cryptocurrency prices during late July.

Contrary to the long-term outlook, Ethereum’s recent price trend tells a different story. In fact, over the past month, the value of ETH has decreased by approximately 24.5%. On a yearly basis, Ethereum trails behind Bitcoin with a 41.5% increase, while Bitcoin has seen a more significant rise of about 107.4%, according to data from CoinGecko.

As a crypto investor, I’ve experienced firsthand how the anticipation of Ethereum ETFs propelled the digital currency. However, those initial gains seem to have vanished, causing Ethereum to trail behind Bitcoin by approximately 5.9%. In contrast, Bitcoin has soared with a staggering 51.9% year-to-date growth.

At the time of writing, ETH was down 0.6% in the last 24 hours to $2,600.
