In 2025, despite the U.S. SEC's approval of Ethereum ETFs, the second-largest cryptocurrency continues to experience a price decline, sparking debate within the crypto community.
Reasons for Ethereum's Price Decline
The approval of ETFs and the inclusion of ETH in the U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile did not prevent a significant price fall. Recent reports indicate substantial outflows from Ethereum ETFs, notably from BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust ETF.
Expert Predictions
Renowned analyst and trader Ted Pillows predicts the situation may worsen, with Ethereum's price potentially dropping to the $1400-$1600 range. He likens this to the market crash of March 2020.
Actions by Ethereum Foundation and Community Reaction
The Ethereum Foundation has made several changes in response to community critique, including leadership restructuring and a focus on utilizing DeFi protocols. However, many in the crypto community continue to question Ethereum’s underperformance this cycle, noting rising competition from Solana.
Ethereum’s price decline concerns investors and experts. While growth opportunities exist, current market behavior demands close attention.
