Ethereum Price Expected to Surge 100% to $5,000

According to the latest research report from Trend Research under LD Capital, Ethereum is expected to have a long-term breakthrough above $5,000. In an optimistic scenario, if Bitcoin surpasses $300,000 in this market cycle, Ethereum could potentially rise to $10,000. This prediction is based on several factors, including the upcoming end of the U.S. quantitative tightening (QT) and potential interest rate cuts, which could positively impact the cryptocurrency market.

Additionally, the new SEC chairman may bring breakthroughs in on-chain tokenization on the Ethereum chain and staking-related legislation. The Ethereum Foundation's management and roadmap fixes are also expected to maintain a certain level of infrastructure innovation, further supporting Ethereum's growth. The sustained growth of the on-chain financial ecosystem is another key factor contributing to this optimistic outlook.

Ethereum continues to hold robust financial data and maintains its status as the most important infrastructure for crypto finance. The total value locked (TVL) in Ethereum's DeFi ecosystem is approximately $600 billion, accounting for over 53% of the global DeFi market. The stablecoin market cap on Ethereum is $1.24 trillion, representing over 50% of the global stablecoin market cap. Furthermore, the total ETF assets under management (AUM) in Ethereum is $7.2 billion, with significant investments from major financial institutions like BlackRock.

According to the analyst's forecast, Ethereum's price is expected to reach $5,000 in this cycle, driven by these positive factors and the overall growth of the cryptocurrency market. The report highlights the importance of Ethereum's infrastructure and its role in the crypto finance ecosystem, suggesting that its value is likely to continue rising as the market matures.
