Analysts predict Ethereum growth to $ 15,000

Ethereum is once again in the spotlight — this time not only because of the price drop below $ 2,000 amid geopolitical tensions, but also because of a hearing in the US Congress.

Vivek Raman, CEO of Etherealize, told lawmakers that Ethereum is «the world’s most secure and decentralized payment platform.» According to him, the blockchain can modernize the US financial markets, which still work with paper documents, faxes, and manual spreadsheets.

Raman emphasized that public blockchains provide instant payments, global registries for real-time auditing, and a way out of the traditional Wall Street system. He cited examples of BlackRock, Franklin Templeton, Deutsche Bank, and UBS, which are already using Ethereum in their operations.

He also emphasized the decentralized nature of the network: more than a million independent validators verify transactions, which eliminates a single point of failure. According to Raman, the adoption of the CLARITY Act could accelerate innovations in the financial sector tenfold.

In previous interviews, Etherealize’s co-founders predicted that Ethereum would overcome regulatory uncertainty and become a key tool for Wall Street. They also expressed expectations that the price of ETH could rise to $ 15,000 by 2027.
