Ether May Have a Hard Time for Big Rallies in 2025: 10x Research
10x Research says ether may not be a smart bet for the expected 2025 rally, though other analysts say the jury is still out.
Marcus Thielen, head of research at 10x Research, says ether may not be the wisest investment choice in 2025, predicting that the asset could deliver disappointing returns compared to bitcoin.
Other analysts say it could go either way and are waiting for more confirmation from the price chart to see which way it will go.
“While the possibility of a new catalyst cannot be ruled out, we would not be surprised if Ethereum struggles to make big gains next year,” Marcus Thielen, head of research at 10x Research, said at a market conference on Dec. 30. report.
Analyst says Ethereum is a ‘weak’ investment in the medium term
“While we appreciate Ethereum’s volatility, we believe it remains a weak investment in the medium term and expect Ethereum to underperform Bitcoin again in 2025,” Thielen said.
“As a result, our stance on Ethereum remains clear: ‘avoid.’”
Thielen says one of the most important metrics to watch in 2025 will be the trend in active verifiers.
