Ether (ETH) is projected to significantly outperform Bitcoin (BTC) in 2025, with its price expected to more than double and potentially reach $8,000, according to a recent report by Steno Research. The analysis points to historical market trends and the implications of Donald Trump’s U.S. presidential election victory as key drivers of this anticipated growth.
Steno Research predicts Bitcoin will climb to at least $150,000 next year, rising from its current price of around $94,000. Meanwhile, Ether is forecasted to surge from its current $3,400 level to a minimum of $8,000. The firm also expects the ETH/BTC ratio to increase to 0.06 over the next year, up from its current level of 0.0357, reflecting patterns observed in past market cycles.
The report highlights a growing focus on altcoins, suggesting that Trump’s return to the presidency could create a more favorable environment for altcoin growth compared to Bitcoin. Analyst Mads Eberhardt explained that Trump’s policies may indirectly support the broader altcoin market.
Additionally, Bitcoin’s market dominance is expected to decline to around 45%, down from its current level of approximately 56.6%. This shift in dominance underscores a potential surge in interest and investment in altcoins.
Steno Research also predicts that the total value locked (TVL) in decentralized applications (dApps) will reach a record high of $300 billion in 2025. Such growth would further reinforce the bullish case for altcoins.
The report notes that the potential introduction of new cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the U.S. could act as another catalyst for altcoin adoption and price appreciation.
“2025 will mark an unprecedented era of institutional adoption in the crypto space,” the report concluded, signaling a transformative year ahead for both Ether and the broader altcoin market.
