Cryptocurrency analysts predict Ethereum growth to $ 12,000

Ethereum ETH $4,455.67 Bridged Ether (StarkGate) -0.26% Market capitalization $0.11 billion VOL. 24 hours $1.86 billion may face weakness in September, despite forecasts of a significant price increase by the end of the year. Analysts note that historically, this month has often been unfavorable for ETH, but the fourth quarter usually brings stronger rallies.

Bitcoin BTC $108,566.00 Mezo Wrapped BTC 0.71% Market capitalization $40.03 million VOL. 24 hours $1.49 billion is currently trying to hold on to $ 108,000, but the pressure is growing due to the expected increase in US Treasury borrowing, which could «suck up» dollar liquidity and create additional risks for the market. This, according to experts, could bring the price of BTC down closer to $ 100,000.

Analyst Tom Lee remains optimistic about Ethereum, calling it «the biggest macro trading idea of the decade.» He predicts that it will reach $ 12,000 by the end of 2025, pointing to three key drivers: the development of stablecoins, the integration of artificial intelligence, and the US government’s Project Crypto initiative.

Despite the long-term attractiveness of Ethereum as a potential global financial settlement layer, experts emphasize that the effect of these factors does not come instantly. History shows that September has almost always brought zero or negative results for ETH.

At the same time, observations of multi-year cycles show that it is the last quarter of the year that most often paves the way for serious growth. Some analysts predict a gradual rise in price to $ 6,000 by the end of 2025, although Ethereum will first have to go through a period of volatility and sideways movement in the fall.
