Could Ethereum Hit $5,000–$10,000 This Cycle?

The report highlights Ethereum’s strong financial and network fundamentals. The Ethereum DeFi ecosystem currently holds approximately $60 billion in total value locked (TVL), representing more than 53% of the global DeFi market. On the stablecoin front, Ethereum hosts $124 billion in stablecoin market value, which accounts for over 50% of the global supply.

Institutional involvement in Ethereum also continues to grow. Ethereum-based exchange-traded fund (ETF) assets under management have reached $7.2 billion. Additionally, BlackRock’s tokenized money market fund, BUIDL, has invested 92% of its $2.7 billion in Ethereum-based assets.

The report attributes the $5,000 price target to several macroeconomic and regulatory trends. These include the anticipated end of quantitative tightening in the United States and the expected start of interest rate cuts. It also points to the potential for regulatory improvements, particularly if the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) sees a leadership change that favors clearer laws around tokenization and staking.

Trend Research concludes that these combined elements support a bullish outlook for Ethereum over the course of this cycle.
