Ethereum News Today: Ethereum Could Hit $10,000 by 2025 as Institutional Demand Surges and Macroeconomic Conditions Favor Growth

Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX, has significantly revised his Ethereum price forecast, predicting the cryptocurrency could reach $10,000 by the end of 2025. This projection, more than double his earlier estimate of $4,000 to $5,000, reflects heightened institutional interest and favorable macroeconomic conditions. Hayes, known for his bold market insights, attributes the potential surge to increased adoption of Ethereum-based products and global liquidity trends [1].

Institutional demand for Ethereum has intensified, with record inflows into U.S. spot Ethereum ETFs. Over $2.1 billion was added to these funds in a single week, surpassing Bitcoin’s net outflows during the same period. BlackRock’s ETHA ETF alone attracted $426 million in July 2025, signaling a shift in institutional strategy toward Ethereum’s role in decentralized finance and tokenization [3]. Hayes contrasts this with Ethereum’s historical perception as a "most hated large-cap crypto," emphasizing a transformation in market sentiment [4].

Macroeconomic factors further underpin Hayes’ optimism. He draws parallels between current conditions and 2020, when Bitcoin’s price surged amid a doubling of credit growth. Hayes argues that expanded government debt to fund industrial and defense production will create a liquidity environment conducive to cryptocurrency adoption. "Ethereum and Bitcoin are escape valves for capital preservation in an era of fiat currency erosion," he stated, framing digital assets as essential for hedging against inflation [2].

Technical indicators also support the bullish outlook. Ethereum recently breached a $3,463 resistance level with strong volume, while its RSI hit 86.27—a sign of overbought conditions—and the MACD remains positive. Corporate buying, including purchases by SharpLink Gaming and World Liberty Financial, has contributed to 3% of daily trading volume. Only 53.21% of Ethereum’s supply is currently liquid, suggesting potential supply constraints could amplify price appreciation during a demand-driven bull cycle [6].

Hayes’ forecast extends to Bitcoin, which he predicts could reach $250,000 by year-end. This aligns with broader market optimism, as Myriad’s data shows a 60% probability of Ethereum surpassing its 2021 high of $4,878. However, the $10,000 target hinges on sustained institutional demand, regulatory clarity, and macroeconomic stability. While Ethereum’s recent 52% monthly price increase highlights its volatility, analysts note that corrections are inherent to bullish cycles, as seen with Bitcoin’s path to $123,000 [7].

Despite the momentum, risks remain. Regulatory shifts or macroeconomic reversals could disrupt the trajectory. Yet Ethereum’s expanding use cases in corporate treasuries and DeFi position it as a cornerstone of the digital financial ecosystem. Hayes’ prediction underscores a growing consensus that Ethereum’s programmable infrastructure and liquidity dynamics could catalyze a new bull run, though investors must weigh the speculative nature of the forecast against evolving market conditions [8].
