VanEck: Ethereum price target to $22,000 by 2030

[TomPluz]

The approval of spot Ethereum ETFs will be opening the Pandora's box for the said coin and I am sure this can mean it will be experiencing an upsurge in its price just like what we had seen with BTC. And this can be the reason why some institutional buyers are now starting to buy more and more ETH from the market.

Interestingly, an analysts working for VanEck, an institution that has applied to list a spot ether ETF, said they have raised their 2030 price prediction for Ethereum to $22,000. As noticed, this modest prediction for the Ethereum's price is rooted on "ETF news, scaling progress,” and a “read of on-chain data.”

Now, with the strong potential of this coin for more real and robust growth ahead, do you think that Ethereum will achieve this prediction in 20230 or do you think that the timeframe can even be earlier?

Everything is possible in the future and we are ready to accept very high ETH prices, for example we will have $12K in 2025 and then $22K in 2029. However, I hope that the $22K price zone will not only be supported by market growth and ETH Spot ETFs. ETH price increase will be more sustainable if Ethereum gains widespread acceptance and adoption in the economy when chosen by large funds and financial institutions for tokenization purposes or even CBDC deployment.

The initial phase involving FOMO + accumulated value + speculative value will come to an end, ETH and many other native tokens really need to have the support of irreplaceable value in the economy to continue to exist and increase in price. I hope that support will come from the application of blockchain to enterprise, investment fund and national scale.

While that seems like a lot, we are talking about 2030 here so that should not really be something that would be too unlikely to begin with at all. I think it should be noted that we are going to end up with something greater even, sure 22k would be fine but that doesn't mean that we are going to be just stuck there. We have about 5.5 years left, meaning one more bull run now soon and then we are going to end up with another bull run next time around with next halving as well. When you combine both of those two together, you are going to end up with a lot better than 22k possibly, so I think this guess is not that wrong at all, I believe it can happen.

6x in 6 years?  <grabs popcorn>

My experience told me that any article released by big players with a narrative like this is usually their way to make retail fall into fomo so they can cash out soon. I've seen the same thing in the previous cycles, hard to say it will be different this time around. Sure, ETH can reach $22k, or $30k, or whatever, but I'll believe it when I see it instead of trusting their articles. We've yet to see BTC break past $100k after tons of news share that prediction in 2017 if I remember it correctly.

[hugeblack]

If we assume that the price of Ethereum is strongly affected by the price of Bitcoin and that the price of Bitcoin changes according to halving cycles, the ATH is repeated every 4 years. Therefore, we are supposed to see a peak in 2025 and 2029, and that 2026 and 2030 are the bottom of the previous cycle, which is somewhat close to the ATH of the current cycle.


Therefore, saying that the price of Ethereum will be $22,000 in 2030 is an indirect statement that it will be more than $15,000 in 2025, which is a strong and unexpected rise, but anything is possible.


Why did he choose 2030 and not 2029, which many believe the ATH will be there?

[Aanuoluwatofunmi]

We will all be here like play when we once discovered that Ethereum is up to that rate in value by 2030 or after the said year, one thing we must always remember consistently is the increase int he value of the crypto currencies and this has to begin with the prominent ones like we have in Ethereum, making investment in it is never a waste of time or money because we are expecting for a new all time high soon as well in it.

When we are already fast approaching on bull run moment or time then we would really be seeing these kind of articles or whatever kind of news which came from some known people or institution or whatsoever but just like been said that it could neitherbe just that trying to simply hype it up to make some good exit or really just that saying their own views towards on the upcoming
market trend or condition. In crypto even if we do say that price might be too far off but we've seen on how many times that almost impossible numbers had been broken unexpectedly.
So we cant draw out some conclusions that ETH wont be able to hit 20k but honestly this is something hard to achieve on.

[Lucius]

I am of the opinion that everything is possible, although this speculation will not appeal to many who are thinking of investing in ETH with the aim of making a much larger profit, and x6 in 6 years is not something that some would be satisfied with. Realistically speaking, even BTC could increase its value as much or even more times by then, and for me personally BTC is a much safer investment.

It seems to me that ETH has lost a lot of fans since it moved to POS, although I may be wrong - ETH certainly has one big "advantage", which is that it is at least x20 cheaper than BTC.

[yhiaali3]

These predictions must be based on strong studies and analysis in order for companies to invest in spot Ethereum ETFs. They must expect a very high return in the coming years, so they decided to start investing at this price, which is considered low compared to the expected price in the future.

Personally, I do not rule out Ethereum reaching the price of 22K$, but I do not prefer to set a time frame for this rise, as the market is full of fluctuations and changes that can change expectations negatively or positively at any moment in an unexpected manner.

[Captain Corporate]

I mean I do agree that big players like him do make these articles so that they could manipulate the market, that is not wrong at all and fully correct. However, we have to also see what is the discussion here, getting to 22k? That seems like not that impossible at all, seems quite easily achievable as well. I am not saying that we can't really have anything different, of course we could be lower too, that's an option but I do not think that we will. I think we are going to end up with something that will be quite decent. We just need to let it be before we could make it change any other way. We should ignore his statement, and ask the same question to ourselves.

I'm going to say it will be earlier than 20230  but not before 2030!
Joking aside looking back 4 years and how predictions worked I have doubts on anyone going that long in time.
Besides, VanEck saying something about the price of ETH is like Musk telling us how much X or Tesla will be worth, they have a fund and an ETF waiting, hard to consider them a non biased source.

You're right. It is not surprising if they are spreading good news about the potential price of Ethereum to skyrocket in the next few years. This easily makes people to believe it when it is predicted by big players, popular people, or famous media. However, the person who tries to be more realistic like me, will never trust them because I see the current price is too far from $22,000. 

Sure, ETH can reach $22k, or $30k, or whatever, but I'll believe it when I see it instead of trusting their articles. We've yet to see BTC break past $100k after tons of news share that prediction in 2017 if I remember it correctly.

Indeed, nothing is impossible if there is a big thing to trigger the price to skyrocket. However, I am sure it is not enough if only the ETF factor which triggers the price to skyrocket. Sure, it is not so different when people predicted the Bitcoin price will be $100k in 2020-2021. At the end of the day, it is only the way of whales or big players to take advantage from the FOMO/hype.

Eric Balchunas (Bloomberg ETF analyst) says SEC had a flurry of communications with ETH ETF applicants and the SEC guidance was "light".  He upped his prediction on a launch date for the ETH ETFs to July 2.

[JoyMarsha]

Ethereum reaching the said amount of $22k in 2030, depends on how far the bitcoin price could go by then. If bitcoin price could reach $400k by 2030, I don't see anything stopping ethereum from climbing to a price of $22k by then.

If I am not mistaken, the year 2030 should be a bull run year that bitcoin, and other top altcoins are meant to soar in price. Predicting a price of $22k, coupled with ethereum ETF approval of now to trigger the ethereum price as of then is very possible to happen.
