Although Ethereum's performance in 2024 was lackluster, the "blockchain giant" seems to have seen a long-awaited dawn in 2025. Analysts predict that Ethereum will rebound strongly in the first quarter of this year, not only expected to outperform Bitcoin, but also likely to usher in a "melt-surface rebound" that will go down in history.

Ethereum: Ready to take off

Ethereum has only risen 47% over the past year and has never been able to break through the psychological barrier of $4,000, while Bitcoin has soared to six figures in December. Despite this, analysts are betting that the first quarter of 2025 will be the home of Ethereum for the following reasons:

  1. Seasonal Strength: Senior analyst Daan Crypto Trades noted that Ethereum typically outperforms the market in the first quarter, even in years when Bitcoin falls.

  2. ETH/BTC ratio is ready to go: The current ETH/BTC ratio is 0.035, but breaking through the critical point of 0.04 may trigger the outbreak of the altcoin season.

ETFs and institutional power will be key

Anthony Sassano predicts that the price of Ethereum will hit $15,000 by 2025, citing a number of driving factors:

  • Ethereum ETF Inflows: $50 billion is expected to flow in by 2025, driving market demand soaring.

  • Institutional entry: Giants such as BlackRock will use the Ethereum blockchain to develop real-world asset platforms.

  • National deployment: Some countries may publicly hold ETH as a strategic reserve asset.

What’s even more exciting is that 2025 marks the tenth anniversary of Ethereum, which may usher in a landmark market carnival.

Upgrades drive new breakthroughs

On January 1, Aave founder Stani Kulechov mentioned that the Pectra upgrade will be another major benefit for Ethereum. This upgrade will not only optimize account operations, but also improve user experience and security, paving the way for the popularization of smart wallets.

Currently, the price of ETH has reached $3,400 after a short-term recovery, but it is still 30% lower than its all-time high in 2021. Analysts expect this situation to be completely rewritten in the first quarter of 2025.

Melt surface rebound may be on the way

Ethereum's strong rebound is not only a farewell to the past downturn, but may also be the biggest highlight of the crypto market in 2025. From seasonal patterns to ETF inflows to institutional deployment, Ethereum is standing at the starting line of a new era.
