Standard Chartered Bank is increasing Ethereum ETH Cryptocurrency’s 2025 year-end price forecast to $7,500, a bank analyst wrote in a note Wednesday. The increase from the original $4,000 forecast cites improved industry engagement and increased ether retention in recent months. The coin reached $4K earlier this month, heading towards a new all-time high of $5,000, and is now just 4% off that target.
Ethereum has seen its own success apart from Bitcoin over the past few months. ETH gatherings may have been further driven by a high influx of ETFs. ETH ETF recently saw an influx of over $1 billion. This is the biggest since its US debut. As ETF influx continues to pour, ETH rally could see a continuous push.
Furthermore, the volume of the Ethereum Network has also increased after the death of the genius act. “We expect the Stablecoin sector to grow by the end of 2028, which will have a major direct impact on Ethereum network fees,” said Geoff Kendrick, director of the Digital Assets Institute at Standard Chartered. Kendrick also considers the possibility that the Ethereum Treasury could increase its token holdings to 10% of all ether in the circulation.
Ether has skyrocketed by more than 50% in the past four weeks. Holders appreciate Ethereum’s staking ability to earn rewards, which Bitcoin does not support. Additionally, ongoing Stablecoin Surge, most Stablecoins are issued, transactions are made on the underlying Ethereum blockchain, and Ether demand will pay for transaction fees. All of these factors are the second largest cryptocurrency due to prices skyrocketing over the past two months.
Additionally, Standard Chartered has raised its 2028 Ethereum price forecast from $7,500 to $25,000. Many analysts have also revised their asset forecasts, and are rapidly increasing. If ETH continues to rise at its current pace, it could reach a new all-time high in the next 24 hours. According to analysts at Concodex, ETH will continue to meet for the next few weeks. The platform expects the assets to trade on August 28th at $5,558.17. At $5,558.17 from the current price level, you’ll need a meeting of nearly 19%.
