Ethereum Price Could Hit $10,000 by 2025 Driven by Institutional Demand

The CIO of Bitwise explained the surge in Ethereum as a 'demand shock'. Over the past month, ETH's price increased by 50%, and since April, it has risen by over 150%. The head of Bitwise's investment division stated that the main drivers are high demand from exchange-traded products and corporate treasuries. In July alone, Ethereum attracted more than $5 billion, with large companies purchasing about 2.83 million ETH for $10 billion, despite only 88 thousand ETH being issued. This activity led to a yearly high of $3,848. The expert anticipates further price growth. He pointed out that investors in ETPs undervalue Ethereum compared to Bitcoin and noted that shares of ETH-related companies are trading at a premium, encouraging strategic replication. Moreover, BlackRock recorded a record inflow of $546 million. In the coming years, the potential purchase of up to 5.33 million ETH (roughly $20 billion) could boost demand. In the short term, demand already exceeds supply, and analysts project Ethereum's price could surpass $10,000 by the end of 2025. Overall, analysts believe that the increased volume of institutional investor purchases significantly enhances the likelihood of new all-time highs.
