Ethereum has faced a significant price decline in recent months. While forecasts vary, many analysts remain cautious.
Current Ethereum Position
Ethereum, one of the largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, has seen a substantial price drop in 2025. Despite its leading position in Web3 and DeFi, ETH's price prospects remain uncertain in the short term.
Standard Chartered’s 2025 Forecast
Standard Chartered cut their end-of-2025 ETH price estimate from $10,000 to $4,000. Geoff Kendrick cited structural declines and the impact of layer 2 blockchains on ETH's market cap as key factors.
Other Analysts' Opinions
VanEck analysts also hold a dim view of ETH's prospects. They point to the rise of memecoin trading on Solana and the impact of Arbitrum and Base as key issues reducing Ethereum's fee revenue.
Ethereum faces numerous challenges in 2025. While forecasts suggest decline, the platform's unique capabilities and developments could alter the situation.
