Crypto experts predict Ethereum growth to $ 6000

Major players in the crypto market have bet on Ethereum’s growth ETH $2,633.70 Bridged Ether (StarkGate) 4.28% Market capitalization $0.24 billion VOL. 24 hours $3.13 billion to $ 6000 by the end of 2025. According to CoinDesk, institutional traders opened a large series of option deals last week focused on this scenario. The strategy was implemented through the Paradigm OTC platform and then secured by transactions on the Deribit crypto exchange.

It involves the purchase of 30,000 call options with a strike price of $ 3500 while selling the same number of options at $ 6000 — a classic bull call spread. All contracts are valid until December 26 this year. The total value of the transactions, including initial costs and collateral, exceeded $ 7 million.

The strategy will bring the greatest benefit if the Ethereum rate reaches $ 6000 or higher by the end of the year. At the same time, if ETH stays below $ 3500, losses will be limited to the $ 7 million paid. If the price exceeds $ 6000, the potential profit is limited due to the sale of options at this level.

According to the latest data, Ethereum is trading at around $ 2470. Despite lagging behind the target level, the large volume of bets on growth signals positive market expectations. This is also confirmed by a previously published analytical review that identified the fundamental reasons for a likely ETH rally in the second half of 2025.
