Tom Lee forecasts Ethereum will hit $10K by 2025 as ETH ETFs post record inflows, surpassing Bitcoin for three consecutive days.
Tom Lee of Bitmine has forecast that before the end of 2025, the price of Ethereum would hit $10,000.
The prognosis is optimistic as Ethereum ETF inflows soar far ahead of Bitcoin’s.
This implies that institutional preferences are shifting in favor of the altcoin.
Tom Lee Sets Target Price Of $10,000 For Ethereum
Tom Lee and Sean Farrell, Head of Digital Asset Research at Fundstrat, predict that by the end of the year, the price of Ethereum will reach $10,000.
According to a recent study, the rally might get $12,000 to $15,000 if the market is doing well.
This forecast comes after a run of outstanding results.
Ethereum’s price has increased by nearly 78% over the last eight weeks, significantly surpassing Bitcoin’s 15% increase during the same period.
Lee asserts that Ethereum’s price increase indicates its position as “arguably the biggest macro trade over the next 10–15 years” due to its supremacy in powering stablecoins and institutional blockchain initiatives.
He notes that significant Wall Street efforts are increasingly being developed on Ethereum due to legal tailwinds like the GENIUS Act and the SEC’s “Project Crypto” attempt to move traditional finance infrastructure onto blockchain.
Fundstrat demonstrated its faith in Ethereum’s long-term potential by formally adding the asset to its “Mag7 & Bitcoin” investment basket.
The price of Ethereum has increased by 28% so far this year, surpassing Bitcoin’s 18% gain, and is currently within 6% of its peak.
Additionally, Tom Lee cites a Bank of America Fund Manager survey that reveals 48% of fund managers presently hold gold, whereas only 9% currently hold cryptocurrency.
This implies that the industry is still in the early stages of adoption.
Investors can check at Ethereum treasury stocks like Bitmine, SharpLink Gaming, and Ethermachine, purchase ETH directly, or invest through ETFs to gain exposure.
Not to be overlooked is Bitmine, whose CEO is Tom Lee, which recently reached 1.15 million ETH in treasury holdings.
This increased its treasury value to almost $5 billion at current prices.
Since introducing its treasury plan earlier this year, the corporation has quickly increased its reserves.
The total value of monitored Ethereum treasuries has surpassed $15 billion, with Bit Digital and SharpLink Gaming holding among the most significant shares.
Inflows Into Ethereum ETFs Beat Bitcoin In Multi-Day Run
According to data, spot Ethereum ETFs saw net inflows of $729 million on August 13, over three times as much as the $86.9 million received by Bitcoin ETFs on the same day.
With $2.2 billion for ETH ETFs over three days compared to $330.9 million for Bitcoin products, this was the third day that Ethereum has outpaced Bitcoin in terms of fund inflows.
Standard Chartered increased its year-end Ethereum price expectation from $4,000 to $7,500, joining the bullish forecasts.
The bank cites increased demand for staking, broader industry participation, and rising stablecoin usage as key factors.
Compared to Ethereum’s most recent multi-year peak, its revised target is about 60% higher.
Given the record-breaking rate at which institutional capital flows into ETH ETFs and the increasing market fundamentals, Tom Lee’s $10,000 Ethereum price projection no longer appears implausible.
