The strong price growth of Ethereum in recent months has led analysts to issue new forecasts. Tom Lee, co-founder and strategist at Fundstrat Global Advisors, stated in an interview that he expects the Ethereum price to reach around $5,500 in the coming weeks. By the end of the year, Lee sees a possible price target between $10,000 and $12,000. Based on the current price of $4,500, this would correspond to an increase of about 166 percent.

As justification, he pointed to the growing institutional demand, particularly fueled by Ethereum treasuries as well as the introduction of exchange-traded funds (ETFs). According to Lee, companies could hold up to ten percent of the total Ethereum supply on their balance sheets in the coming years.

The British bank Standard Chartered also published an optimistic outlook. A senior analyst at the bank stated in a market commentary that Ethereum could reach the $7,500 mark by the end of 2025. Standard Chartered cites the increasing institutional adoption and expected capital inflows into new Ethereum-based investment products as the main drivers
