BroadChain News, 21:16 on April 24, according to NewsBTC, Etherealize, an institution supported by the Ethereum Foundation, released a report predicting that ETH may reach $250,000 before Bitcoin. This target is based on Ethereum needing to capture the monetary premium of approximately $31 trillion combined from gold and Bitcoin, and become the foundational layer of global finance.
The report points out that achieving this valuation requires large-scale holdings of ETH by pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, and banks, rather than relying solely on Bitcoin. ETH's supply dynamics (reduced circulating supply due to staking) and yield-generating ability (staking rewards) are key price supports. Currently, ETH is around $2,300, requiring over 100x growth to reach the target.
Etherealize believes that if ETH can simultaneously serve as a payment currency, a platform for stablecoin issuance and RWA tokenization, attract sustained institutional demand, and divert the store of value from gold and Bitcoin, the $250,000 target could shift from speculation to a long-term possibility. However, the probability of achieving it in the short term is extremely low.
