Ethereum faces a tough fight despite the optimism of the analysts

While Bitcoin has already reached new all -time highs, Ethereum remains behind his maximum, so that many investors are wondering when the leading altcoin will catch up.
Despite the latest dynamics, ETH remains below its previous record, and some market observers are careful.
Nevertheless, the optimism remains. In an interview recently led with Coinbase, March Zheng, co -founder of Byzantine Capital, was confident about the long -term potential of Ethereum.
He referred to the recent pectra upgrade of the network and its lower inflation rate compared to Bitcoin than factors that could favor a future price increase. Zheng believes that these properties could help Ethereum to establish themselves as a dominant layer 1 blockchain.
He also argued that Ethereum has an advantage in terms of scalability towards Solana – an advantage that, in his opinion, becomes increasingly important with increasing the spread of blockchain. According to Zheng, Ethereum enters an important growth phase, whereby in 2025 the decisive year emerges.
However, the short -term expectations are steamed. The betting markets on polymarket currently see only a probability of 27%that ETH will achieve a new all -time high before 2026. Although the overall mood is positive, the path from Ethereum to break could take longer than some expected.
