Ethereum Price Prediction: Can ETH Hit $10K Before Bitcoin Reaches $200K?
Ethereum surges 150% since April as ETF inflows and technical signals point to a macro bull run, with analysts targeting $6K–$16K by 2025.
ETH breaks 3-year downtrend vs BTC and leads in stablecoins and tokenization, reinforcing its dominance in the 2025 crypto rally.
Ethereum is back in the spotlight with a powerful rebound in 2025. After a shaky start to the year, ETH has posted an impressive recovery—gaining over 150% since April.
Crypto analyst VirtualBacon now believes Ethereum is in the early stages of a macro bull run, driven by bullish technical signals, rising ETF inflows, and Ethereum’s dominance in tokenization and stablecoins.
Ethereum Price Analysis
Analyst highlights Ethereum’s breakout above the 20-week SMA ($2,345.85) and 50-week SMA ($2,679.45)—a strong bullish signal. He notes that past bull runs began under similar conditions, with:
- Higher lows forming
- The 50-week SMA acting as support
- The 20-week SMA curling upward
He also points to the $2,600–$2,900 range as a strong support zone for buyers.
ETH Is Outperforming Bitcoin
In the past month, ETH has gained 62.2%, far outpacing Bitcoin’s 15.9%. VirtualBacon also notes the ETH/BTC ratio has broken a 3-year downtrend, signaling that Ethereum may continue to lead the current rally.
“As long as ETH/BTC stays above 0.022, Ethereum remains in control,” he says.
Ethereum ETF Inflows Point to Institutional Demand
Institutional interest is growing fast. Ethereum holdings by companies have jumped from $23 million to $6.6 billion in just three months.
According to Coinglass, the Ethereum spot ETF market has seen consistent daily inflows since July 9, including a record $726.6 million on July 16 and $533.8 million just yesterday.
While the BTC ETF market cap stands at $153.32 billion, ETH’s ETF market is growing fast at $18.40 billion.
Ethereum Leads in Stablecoins and Tokenization
Analyst also points to Ethereum’s leadership in real-world blockchain use cases:
- 54% of $247B stablecoins are issued on Ethereum
- 70% of RWA tokenization protocols run on Ethereum or its Layer 2s
This includes leading platforms like MakerDAO and Centrifuge, giving Ethereum a clear edge in institutional adoption.
Ethereum Price Prediction: Analyst’s Targets
According to VirtualBacon:
- Base case: ETH reaches $6K–$7K by late 2025
- Bull case: If BTC hits $200K and ETH outperforms, $16K is possible
- Long-term target: $10K by mid-2026
Ethereum’s recent rally is fueled by technical strength, ETF inflows, and real-world utility. If these trends hold, ETH could be headed for new all-time highs—and possibly a five-digit price point.
