In summary, Ethereum (ETH) has had underwhelming gains compared to Bitcoin and other top altcoins, but 2025 could bring new catalysts for its growth. The upcoming Pectra upgrade is expected to enhance scalability, security, and user experience on the Ethereum network. This upgrade could also benefit Layer 2 chains relying on Ethereum for security. On-chain data shows that large wallet investors are accumulating Ether, indicating bullish sentiment. Furthermore, if pro-crypto regulations are implemented under a Trump administration, the SEC may approve staking yield for Ethereum ETFs. Despite lagging in active development compared to other protocols, Ethereum's smart contract functionality and underlying technology continue to attract interest from institutions. Technical indicators suggest a bullish outlook for Ether, with a target price of $4,500 and support at $3,000.
