Here you can find the potential monthly price targets for Ethereum between 2025 and 2035. These forecasts include bullish, neutral, and bearish scenarios, offering a long-term outlook to help you monitor trends and define your own investment strategy and risk appetite.
When analyzing and forecasting Ethereum (ETH) for the long term, it's crucial to look at both the bullish (positive) and bearish (negative) aspects. In this section we offer you a compact overview of both perspectives to support your assessment of the future development of ETH.
Bullish outlooks
Institutional interest and staking
The move to Proof-of-Stake may make ETH more appealing to institutional investors who want to earn yield through staking.
Smart contracts and DeFi growth
Ethereum is currently the leading infrastructure for DeFi, NFTs, and dApps, which could drive demand for ETH.
Potential Ethereum ETFs
Approval of spot ETFs for Ethereum could significantly increase institutional access and capital inflow, similar to the impact of Bitcoin ETFs.
Network effects and developer community
Ethereum has the largest developer ecosystem in crypto, fueling continuous innovation and maintaining a strong first-mover advantage.
Bearish outlooks
Competition from other Layer 1s
Faster and cheaper blockchains (such as Solana) could reduce Ethereum’s market share.
Regulatory risks
Uncertainty over whether ETH will be considered a security could negatively impact institutional investment and usage.
Scalability challenges and high fees
Despite Layer-2 solutions, high gas fees and congestion remain a risk during peak usage.
Centralization through staking
Large staking pools and centralized exchanges can concentrate control in the network, potentially undermining decentralization.

How accurate are these Ethereum predictions?
These predictions are generated by our internal prediction methodology, which is based on historical market data. However, crypto markets are highly volatile and unpredictable. These forecasts should not be seen as insights rather than guarantees, and it’s always wise to do your own research before making any investment decisions.

Bullish case: Ethereum could reach € 5.666,20, representing a potential change of +99,34%.
Bearish case: Ethereum could reach a price of € 2.510,14, implying a possible change of -11,69%.
Will Ethereum rise again in 2025?

Can Ethereum reach €10.000?
In theory, Ethereum can reach a price of €10.000, but this strongly depends on adoption, market conditions, and long-term growth, and is therefore not guaranteed. According to the current expectations from Finst, Ethereum could reach around € 5.666,20 in 2035 in a bullish scenario, depending on how the market and Ethereum develop.
Joseph Lubin (Consensys CEO): "Ethereum can still x100, probably more"
The co-founder of Ethereum and CEO of Consensys, Joseph Lubin, is more than bullish about the future of Ethereum. In August 2025, he stated that Ethereum "can still go 100x, probably even more." He expects this strong increase because, according to him, major Wall Street players will eventually make the switch to Ethereum. The infrastructure of Ethereum should strongly contribute to this, such as staking, DeFi participation, running nodes, and Layer-2 solutions. According to Lubin, this adoption is inevitable, and Ethereum should therefore rise significantly in the coming years.
JPMorgan
The American banking giant JPMorgan expressed a positive outlook on the Ethereum network in a report from August 2025. The report indicated that the Ethereum network is benefiting strongly from the global increase in stablecoin usage. In addition, the report noted that institutional parties are taking the platform more seriously as a foundation for financial infrastructure.
Tom Lee: By the end of 2025 Ethereum can reach $10,000-$12,000
Tom Lee, head strategist at Fundstrat, expects a ten-year bull market for crypto, with Ethereum taking the lead role. According to him, this will be driven by macroeconomic trends and the growing interest of institutional investors in blockchain technology. With this, Tom Lee expects that by the end of 2025 Ethereum could reach as high as $10,000 to $12,000.
Ethereum ETF
After the approval of Bitcoin ETFs in January 2024, eight spot-Ethereum ETFs were also approved by the U.S. SEC in May 2024. The start of trading in July 2024 meant that institutional investors could invest in Ethereum without having to manage the crypto themselves. After the launch, however, many funds already saw large outflows, especially at Grayscale and Fidelity, which reduced upward price pressure.
In 2025, Ethereum ETFs saw strong inflows, with billions of dollars flowing back into ETFs, causing Ethereum to recover strongly in a short period of time. This showed that institutional inflows into ETFs can cause strong price increases, but price fluctuations in ETFs also highlight the volatility of Ethereum. Expectations are that Ethereum ETFs will, in the long run, lead to more adoption, more liquidity, and thus also more stable growth for the ETH price.
Ethereum roadmap
Ethereum has several phases in its roadmap that can play an important role in price development. Vitalik Buterin summarized these phases into five themes:
The Surge The Surge focuses on scalability through rollups and (dank)sharding. With Dencun (2024) and the upcoming Fusaka upgrade (November 2025), the first steps are being taken toward higher transaction throughput. In the long term, Ethereum should be able to handle tens of thousands of transactions per second at low costs, making the network more attractive to both businesses and users.
The Scourge The Scourge is about countering centralization and censorship on the network, especially around MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) and block production. This is still being researched extensively. This phase is essential to keep Ethereum reliable and decentralized.
The Verge The Verge aims to simplify block validation, among other things through the introduction of Verkle Trees. This reduces storage requirements and makes it possible for more users to run their own node. The planned Glamsterdam upgrade (2026) is an important step in this trajectory.
The Purge The Purge focuses on cleaning up unnecessary historical data and simplifying the protocol. This reduces hardware requirements and increases the efficiency of the network. Many of these improvements are expected after Glamsterdam.
The Splurge The Splurge includes various improvements and optimizations that do not directly fall under the other phases. Examples of this were seen in Pectra (2025), with improvements to staking and wallet functionalities.
