We now see ETH at USD 7,500 by end-2025 (USD 4,000 prior) and USD 25,000 by end-2028 (USD 7,500)

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.
