Recently, Ethereum surpassed the $4,600 mark, reaching an intraday high of $4,682. This movement brings Ethereum closer to records not seen since November 2021, requiring merely a 5% increase to set a new all-time high.
Investor Forecasts and Expectations
Predictive models from the Polymarket platform suggest that investors are betting on Ethereum’s continued rise, with an 84% probability of reaching $5,000 by year-end and a 59% chance of hitting $6,000.
Impact of ETFs on Ethereum
Spot Ethereum ETFs have significantly contributed to this rise. In August alone, substantial inflows of $523 million were recorded in the U.S., creating additional demand for the cryptocurrency.
