Major Bank Sets Ethereum Price Target at $7,500 for 2025

One of the world’s biggest banks just dropped a bombshell prediction: Ethereum is going to $7,500 before we ring in 2026. Right now, ETH trades around $4,300, so we’re talking about a solid 60% pump from here.

ETH has been grinding near its old high of $4,878 from way back in November 2021. After years of boring sideways price action, it looks like Ethereum might finally be ready to party again.

The bank’s research team says three big things are pushing ETH toward this target, and honestly, the data backs them up.

Wall Street Can’t Get Enough ETH

Big institutions have been buying ETH like there’s no tomorrow. ETFs and corporate treasuries are scooping up almost 4% of the entire ETH supply in just two months. That buying pace is double what we saw during Bitcoin’s fastest institutional run-up.

This isn’t retail FOMO money either. These are pension funds, hedge funds, and Fortune 500 companies treating Ethereum like a must-have asset. They’re not looking to flip it next week – they want to hold this stuff for years.

The use of cryptocurrencies is growing in different fields and industries other than the financial sector. The gaming sector has embraced this trend, with platforms increasingly using Bitcoin for casino deposits due to faster processing and reduced costs. These platforms provide a high level of privacy, immediate withdrawals, and provably fair games. Such widespread use justifies the usefulness of such a blockchain network as Ethereum.

Stablecoin Rules Just Changed Everything

Washington finally got its act together on stablecoin regulation, and that’s massive for Ethereum because stablecoins pay for roughly 40% of all blockchain fees, and most stablecoins live on Ethereum.

Better rules mean more stablecoin adoption. More stablecoins mean more Ethereum usage. More usage drives up demand for ETH tokens since you need them to pay network fees. It’s simple math, but the impact could be huge.

DeFi is already getting excited about this regulatory clarity. Most DeFi protocols run on Ethereum, so when stablecoin activity picks up, Ethereum wins big time.

The 2028 Vision Gets Even Crazier

Here’s where things get really interesting. The same bank thinks ETH could hit $25,000 by 2028. The logic behind it is that Ethereum basically invented smart contracts and has never gone offline. Not once. It has handled billions of transactions without batting an eye, and there is a developer community that continues making neat stuff.

Plus, Ethereum is working on some major improvements that will probably make it much faster and cheaper to operate. If they nail these improvements while keeping everything secure, Ethereum could become the backbone for most blockchain applications.

Nobody knows if these price calls will hit, but the smart money is clearly betting on Ethereum’s future. With institutions loading up and the fundamentals looking strong, ETH might be setting up for its biggest run yet.
