# Geoff Kendrick: Ethereum at or above $7,500 on Dec 31, 2025

Updated Sep 29, 2026 · Web page: https://predictionverifier.com/predictions/geoff-kendrick-ethereum-7500-by-2025/

Geoff Kendrick's prediction that Ethereum would be at or above $7,500 on December 31, 2025 did not come true. The close on the deadline decided this call: Ethereum closed at $2,967 on December 31, 2025, the deadline, 60% below the target. Geoff Kendrick made the call on ZyCrypto on August 13, 2025, when Ethereum was at $4,590. The target needed a 63% rise in five months.

Kendrick pointed to Ether treasury firms and spot ETH ETFs having acquired about 3.8% of circulating ETH since early June, with treasury firms such as BitMine and SharpLink buying roughly 2.3 million ETH. He also cited the GENIUS Act stablecoin law, noting that over half of all stablecoins sit on Ethereum and stablecoins account for about 40% of blockchain fees.
