rewrite this title The 5 Bullish Cases That Says Ethereum Price Could Reach $10,000 In 2025 | Bitcoinist.com

With the Ethereum price still trending low at $2,500, there is a lot of uncertainty surrounding the altcoin and where it could be headed. Mostly, expectations have fallen into the negative territory, with many predicting that it will continue its decline from here. However, there are some who continue to hold out hope for the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap to end up outperforming the likes of Bitcoin, and reaching the 5-figure territory this year.

Crypto Analyst Puts Ethereum Price At $10,000

Amid the prevalent bearish sentiment surrounding the Ethereum price, crypto analyst Ash Crypto has remained steadfast in their belief that the altcoin is still destined for great things. Taking to the X (formerly Twitter) platform, the analyst gave a bold $10,000 prediction, backing it up with reasons why he believes that this target is attainable for Ethereum in the year 2025.

A number of reasons were given for why the crypto analyst expects the Ethereum price to rise 4x from its current level, and adoption was at the top of the list. Ash Crypto first points out the notable institutional buying that has been going on and how this is a precursor of what could be coming.

Mainly, the majority of the buying has been happening through ETF issues such as BlackRock, with large buys occurring over the last few weeks. During the time of the post, the analyst noted that these institutions had scooped up $240 million in ETH in just minutes, showing the buying trend was escalating.

Furthermore, he pointed out that these institutions were not just buying Ethereum for the sake of it. But rather, they were making large bets on the altcoin’s future. The major bet is the fact that they expect the Securities and Exchange Commission to actually approve ETH staking for ETF issuers, and if this happens, it has major implications for the price.

Giving a list of things that would happen when the SEC approves ETH staking for ETF issuers, the crypto analyst points to the fact that they would be able to earn yield on their investments. This would also make Ethereum the biggest technology in crypto, as staking brings more adoption.

Next on the list is the fact that this would allow trillions of dollars in real-world assets (RWAs) to be moved on-chain to Ethereum, thus boosting usage and adoption. Then, with the Ethereum deflationary supply being driven by the fee burn mechanism, supply is expected to shrink, and as demand rises, the value of ETH does as well.

Last but not least would be the fact that staking approval would allow institutions to earn passive income from staking ETH. This means that in addition to the returns they expect to get as the Ethereum price rises, they would also be getting extra income from staking the coins and keeping them locked up. “Smart money moves before the retail,” the analyst stated.
