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

All prices mentioned in this report are in USD.

The expert panel predicts that the price of Ethereum 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 the end of 2035. This prediction is more optimistic than the $4,153 forecast 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 predictions, this expert group's expectations are slightly more optimistic than the average forecast from our April 2025 survey, which estimated the ETH price at $9,495 in 2030 and $17,042 in 2035.

Johnny Gabriele, Chief Analyst of Lifted Initiative Blockchain Economy and AI Integration, predicts that Ethereum's price will reach $10,000 in 2025, comparing Ethereum to "global assets like oil."

Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget, states that 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 application in the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA) expected to reach $16 trillion by 2030. Additionally, the increased transaction speed following the Dencun upgrade has facilitated Ethereum's widespread use 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 Ethereum's price will reach $6,000 in 2025, emphasizing institutional investor interest.

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

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

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

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

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

2025 Ethereum Price Range Prediction

The expert panel predicts that Ethereum (ETH) will have an average peak price of $4,746 in 2025, with some predictions suggesting it could reach as high as $14,260.

More than two-fifths (43%) of experts believe that ETH's price will peak between $2,000 and $3,999 before the end of 2025; while one-third (33%) of experts expect its price to reach between $4,000 and $5,999 during the same period.

Martin Froehler, CEO of Morpher, holds an extremely optimistic view 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 the tokenization of real-world assets."

Nicole DeCicco, CEO of CryptoConsultz, gives a high prediction of $5,200, stating that based on institutional investor participation, Ethereum will remain strong in the long term.

"Ethereum remains one of the most reliable and widely used platforms in the crypto space, especially in 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 like BlackRock and PayPal, who would not bet on a platform without long-term potential. Combined with this widespread adoption and ongoing scaling progress, Ethereum still has significant growth potential."

Low-End Predictions

Average Lowest Price: The expert panel predicts an average lowest price of $1,940 for Ethereum in 2025, with some predictions even as low as $1,390.
Bottom Range: More than half of the experts (52%) believe that Ethereum's lowest price during the remaining time in 2025 will be between $2,000 and $2,249.

Ruadhan O, founder of Seasonal Tokens, states that there are many unfavorable factors for Ethereum (ETH) in 2025, predicting that the price may drop to $2,000 before the end of the year.

Ethereum recently fell to $2,200 during the outbreak of war, showing that its current price support is weaker than Bitcoin (BTC). Since the peak 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 $4,000 in 2025 is low.

Daniel Keller, CEO of InFlux Technologies, believes that the stagnation of Gas Fees may negatively impact Ethereum's price, predicting its lowest price could 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, 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)?

Ethereum is currently trading below its peak in January 2025, which may prompt 57% of experts to believe now is a good time to buy Ethereum; 26% of experts suggest holding, while 17% advocate selling.

Ruslan Lienkha, market director at YouHodler, believes Ethereum is a worthwhile asset to buy, as it is the leading blockchain for stablecoin issuance.

Ethereum remains the leading blockchain for stablecoin issuance and non-financial applications in the broader economy. It is also the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization and is generally considered more decentralized than its closest competitors.

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

Joseph Raczynski, a futurist at JT Consulting & Media, also supports the hold view, stating:

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 U.S. 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, states that ETH should be sold, offering no positive remarks about the token.

“ETH has always been disappointing. Regardless of market conditions, its price has consistently hovered around a maximum of $2,600. I have always pointed out that ETH is severely 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 Ethereum is currently undervalued, 35% think the price is fair, and 22% consider it overvalued.

Kadan Stadelmann, Chief Technology Officer of Komodo Platform, believes that Ethereum's price is somewhat dependent on Bitcoin's performance, but institutional adoption and ETF news will drive its price up. He thinks Ethereum is currently undervalued.

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

John Murillo, Chief Business Officer of B2BROKER, believes that Ethereum's current price is fair.

Ethereum is facing fierce competition from cheaper DeFi protocols such as Solana, Stellar, Uniswap, and other tokens. Although Ethereum is undergoing several upgrades (including Pectra and Danksharding), the high Gas fee issue remains unresolved, raising doubts in the market about its future performance. However, as a significant cryptocurrency, Ethereum will still participate in market fluctuations in line with overall trends.

Mitesh Shah, founder and CEO of Omnia Markets, states that Ethereum's price is currently 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 a clear technical roadmap, provides a strong foundation for Ethereum's long-term positive valuation.

Drivers of Institutional Adoption

Ethereum remains the preferred blockchain for institutional players, despite competition from ecosystems like Solana. Currently, over 50 non-crypto companies, including global financial giants like BlackRock, PayPal, and Deutsche Bank, are conducting business on Ethereum and its Layer-2 networks.

So, what is driving institutional adoption of Ethereum?

Broad 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 point out 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 they reportedly struggle to compete with centralized services due to technical and economic challenges. Experts have varying 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.

Slightly fewer (29%) experts are optimistic, believing that technological advancements will overcome current challenges; meanwhile, another 29% express skepticism, believing that centralized platforms will continue to dominate.
