Here are 5 reasons why Ethereum hits $12,000 in 2025 – Analysts

Ethereum’s price has risen by more than 19% over the past day, and the recovery in the general crypto market continues. In investor Euphoria, renowned crypto analyst and OKC partner Ted Pillows leaned towards the famous Altcoin to maintain its bullish form, reaching a market price of $12,000 in 2025.
Institutions adopt specifications that drive the Ethereum market, etc.
In the X post on May 9, TED Pillows provide some valuable insights into the bullish potential of the Ethereum market. Angel Investors and KOLs say there are five reasons ETH Investors should make about 600% profit before 2025 passes.
First, the pillow suggests that Ethereum may get the highest level of institutional adoption among altcoins. In an increasing number of opportunities in the U.S. government and digital asset regulatory framework, institutional investors may begin diversifying their capital into cryptocurrencies other than Bitcoin.
As can be seen from spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that Ethereum has a leading position in portfolio growth in other altcoins, considering its position as the second largest cryptocurrency, with a market share of 7.24%, and is a wide range of smart contract applications. In particular, Ted Pillows emphasizes that Ethereum’s dominance in smart contract programmability is another reason why investors are highly bullish.
According to Defilama, Ethereum blockchain currently accounts for 80.17% of RWA, 51.01% of circular stable stocks, and 53.29% of total value lock-in (TVL) in DEFI, indicating a great potential for network adoption and price growth in a crypto bull market.
The TED pillow highlights the potential introduction of Ethereum ETFs. The deadline for the SEC decision on the proposed Staking Opepon is in late May and late August. But, Bloomberg analyst James Seyfart said the committee has a lot of potential to wait until the final deadline in October, as the ETH Options Exchange has seen.
The introduction of discharges may attract inflows into Ethereum ETFs as it provides investors with additional means of revenue. Staking will enable ETFS custodians to lock ETH on the Ethereum network to act as a validator for the defined period and receive commission returns.
Time to upgrade after burns tokens and upgrade signals after upgrading
Among other potential bullish drivers, Ted Pillow also pointed to the high level of ETH burning after the Pectra Network upgrade on May 7. High combustion rates indicate an increase in scarcity, which is always a benefit for market price appreciation.
Finally, the TED pillow hints about the growing potential of the risk environment later in 2025, as the U.S. Federal Reserve is expected to lower interest rates and begin quantitative easing, which will encourage investment in volatile assets such as cryptocurrencies.
At press time, Ethereum traded at $2,334 after slightly recycled in the past few hours. It is worth noting that the trading volume of assets increased by 62.81% to be worth $49.85 billion.
