Justin Sun predicts Ethereum growth to $ 5000

Justin Sun, founder of the Tron blockchain, has predicted that the value of Ethereum ETH $1,797.78 Bridged Ether (StarkGate) 1.58% Market capitalization $0.16 billion VOL. 24 hours $1.05 billion could reach $ 5,000 in the coming months. His optimistic forecast came ahead of the 10th anniversary of Ethereum’s launch, which will take place in July 2025. Currently, the value of ETH is about $ 1,770, so the expected growth implies an almost threefold increase.

In his post on the social network X, Sun mentioned that the day Ethereum was launched — July 30, 2015 — coincides with his birthday. As part of the anniversary events, with the support of the Ethereum Foundation, global meetings of enthusiasts, both large and local, are planned. Organizers can apply for funding of up to $ 500 per event, the deadline is June 15, 2025.

In addition to the forecast, Justin Sun proposed a number of strategic changes that he believes will help Ethereum’s price rise. In particular, he called on the Ethereum Foundation to stop selling ETH for three years to reduce supply and encourage long-term token storage. To cover the foundation’s expenses, he suggested using lending and staking through platforms like AAVE.

Sun also advocated optimizing the Ethereum Foundation’s team: keeping the best developers and increasing their salaries to improve efficiency. Another suggestion is to focus on the development of the main Ethereum network (Layer 1) rather than scattering efforts on numerous side projects.
