As a seasoned researcher who has been closely monitoring the crypto market for over a decade now, I find myself cautiously optimistic about Ethereum‘s performance in 2025. The lackluster performance of 2024 and the dominance of Bitcoin may be disheartening to some, but history shows us that the first quarter is often a promising time for Ethereum.
The predictions from analysts like Daan Crypto Trades, Anthony Sassano, and Ash Crypto give me hope. The consensus seems to be that Ethereum will outperform Bitcoin in the short term, with Ether ETF inflows potentially hitting $50 billion this year. If these predictions hold true, we might see a significant rally for Ethereum in Q1 of 2025, as it did in previous cycles.
However, I must remind myself and others that the crypto market is notoriously volatile and unpredictable. As much as I’d love to see ETH reach $15,000 this year, as predicted by Anthony Sassano, or even $8,000, as suggested by Steno Research, it’s essential to approach these predictions with a grain of salt.
That said, I can’t help but feel excited about the potential of Ethereum, especially with the upcoming Pectra upgrade and increased interest from TradFi companies. It seems that 2025 could indeed be Ethereum’s most bullish year yet!
And to lighten the mood a bit, let me share a little joke: Why don’t we ever tell secrets on the blockchain? Because good things come to those who wait… and bad things come to everyone else!
2024 saw a subdued show from Ethereum as its value rose only by 47%, falling short of hitting a fresh high price or regularly trading above the $4,000 mark.
In mid-December, Bitcoin saw a significant increase of over 120% and reached a fresh record high with six figures. Yet, financial experts predict that Ethereum might surpass Bitcoin in the first three months of the coming year, as Bitcoin has been relatively stable for the past two weeks.
On January 2, analyst “Daan Crypto Trades” noted that traditionally, ETH tends to be quite active during the first quarter. Remarkably, this has been the case even during periods when Bitcoin was in a downtrend against it over the past few years.
ETH/BTC Ratio Needs to Improve
In the prior bull market, significant shifts were observed in the ETH/BTC ratio during the years 2020 and 2021. This trend not only sparked a period of increased activity for altcoins, but also led to what is commonly referred to as an “altseason.” He made this statement, then further explained:
“~0.04 remains an important level to break for ETH.”
right now, the value of Ethereum relative to Bitcoin, as shown by Tradingview, stands at approximately 0.035.
Ethereum (ETH) tends to be quite active during the first quarter. It has maintained this level of activity even during periods when its value relative to Bitcoin (BTC) was declining, as seen in recent years.
In the last period of market growth (bull cycle), the years 2020 and 2021 witnessed significant shifts in the Ethereum to Bitcoin (ETH/BTC) exchange rate, effectively triggering what became known as an “altcoin season.

According to a forecast by Ethereum community advisor Anthony Sassano, the price of ETH might rise to $15,000 by the year 2025.
A significant portion of this progress is likely to be driven by investments flowing into the Ether Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF), expected to reach around $50 billion in 2023. As applications for ETH staking products are processed and approved, this will contribute to the growth.
Additionally, it’s anticipated that more significant traditional finance firms and entities will begin developing projects on Ethereum. It’s been announced that BlackRock plans to launch a layer-2 platform for tokenized real-world assets on the blockchain. Furthermore, various countries may disclose that they own ETH as part of their treasury reserves.
2025 marks the tenth anniversary of Ethereum, and I’m quite optimistic that this year will see a surge of bullish sentiment like never before for Ethereum!
My 2025 predictions for Ethereum:
Ether’s price reaches $15,000
– The net inflows of Ethereum ETFs have surpassed $50 billion this year
– Staked Ethereum ETFs have been filed for and approved
– More significant Traditional Finance companies/institutions are expanding onto the Ethereum network
– BlackRock (in partnership) introduces a layer 2 tokenized Risk-Weighted Assets platform…— sassal.eth/acc (@sassal0x) January 1, 2025
According to a report published at the end of last year, Steno Research anticipates Ethereum (ETH) prices will soar to $8,000 by 2025. The analysts are growing more and more hopeful that the altcoin market could see a significant surge soon.
In my opinion, Ethereum (ETH) could experience an exceptionally strong surge during the first quarter of 2025, according to analyst Ash Crypto, as he drew comparisons with previous market trends.

A Great Start to 2025
On New Year’s Day, Aave founder Stani Kulechov expressed his belief that Ethereum will have a strong start in 2025. He was referring to the Pectra upgrade which aims to make accounts behave like smart contracts, enhancing the scalability of smart wallets and improving user experience and security for its users.
Today, ETH prices saw a 2% increase, peaking at around $3,400 during early Asian trading hours on Thursday.
Since the December 2020 decline to $4,000, Ether’s price has been moving up and down without significant progress. Compared to its record high in November 2021, it is currently 30% lower, and although it approached that peak by approximately 20% in 2024, it did not sustain that level for long.
