$ETH Ether Could Hit $12,000: Impact of Pectra Upgrade and Trump Administration

Ethereum (ETH) has been gaining significant attention recently. Dr. Sean Dawson from Derive Research suggests that Ether's price could skyrocket to $12,000 if Donald Trump, a pro-crypto advocate, returns to the U.S. presidency, and Ethereum's Pectra upgrade is successfully implemented.

Pectra Upgrade

Scheduled for release in Q1 2025, the highly anticipated Pectra upgrade aims to significantly enhance Ethereum's scalability and efficiency. This upgrade is expected to fortify Ethereum's technical infrastructure, potentially driving a substantial increase in its market value.

Role of the Trump Administration

According to Dr. Dawson, a pro-crypto administration like Trump's could boost the adoption of Ethereum and other cryptocurrencies. Increased participation from institutional investors may drive higher demand and push Ether's price upward.

Potential Risks

However, Dr. Dawson also warned that if the launch of spot Ether ETFs fails to attract institutional interest, Ether’s price could drop below $2,000.

Currently, Ether is trading near $3,363, and market dynamics in the coming months will be crucial in determining its trajectory.
