Newly approved investment funds for Ethereum could help its price reach $14,000 in 2025, according to multiple financial experts. These special funds, known as spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs), were approved in July 2024 and have already collected 3.5 million Ethereum coins.
The approval of Ethereum-based ETFs allowed big investors to buy into the cryptocurrency without directly owning it.
“Multiple nation states will reveal that they hold ETH as a treasury asset,” predicts Anthony Sassano, founder of The Daily Gwei and a well-known Ethereum educator. “Ethereum will turn 10 years old in 2025 and I’m very confident that this year will be Ethereum’s most bullish year yet!”
Standard Chartered Bank analysts believe Ethereum could climb even higher, reaching $14,000+ by the end of 2025. They base this prediction on two main factors: the new investment funds and recent improvements to Ethereum’s network that make transactions faster and cheaper.

A planned upgrade called Pectra, coming in March or April 2025, will make the network more user-friendly. This update will let people group multiple transactions and recover lost accounts without needing backup codes.
Deltec Bank, a financial institution in the Bahamas, forecasts a $10,000 price target. The bank cites Ethereum’s switch to a more energy-efficient system and increasing use of its technology as key reasons for growth.
More people are already using Ethereum-based financial services. The network recently reached $80 billion in total value locked in these services, the highest amount in two years.
A survey by Finder.com asked 50 industry experts about Ethereum’s future. Their average prediction was more modest at $6,105 for 2025, but this would still mean an 80% increase from the current price of $3,400.
The approval of these new investment funds marks an essential change in how people can buy Ethereum. Instead of using specialized crypto exchanges, investors can now purchase Ethereum through regular investment accounts, making it more accessible to everyday investors.
