Ethereum prices have skyrocketed over 19% in the past day, reaching nearly $2,500 as the general crypto market continues to revive. Amidst the euphoria of investors, prominent crypto analyst and OKC partner Ted Palm has reached a market price of $12,000 in 2025, tilting the well-known Altcoin to maintain its bullish shape.
Institutional adoption and definition status to promote the Ethereum market, among other things.
In a post on May 9th, Ted Pillows provided some valuable insight into the bullish potential of the Ethereum market. Angel Investors and KOL said before 2025 is over there are five reasons ETH investors should expect a profit of around 600%.
First, the pillow suggests that Ethereum is likely to experience the highest level of institutional adoption among altcoins. Amid the growing potential of a US government governor and digital asset regulation framework, institutional investors may begin to diversify their capital into other cryptocurrencies besides Bitcoin.
As seen in Spot Exchange Trade Funds (ETFs), Ethereum ranks ahead of other altcoins for portfolio additions, taking into account its position as the second-largest cryptocurrency with a market share of 7.24% and a wide range of smart contract applications. In particular, Ted Pillows highlights Ethereum’s domination in smart contract programming, another reason why investors are so bullish.
According to Defilama, the Ethereum blockchain currently holds 80.17% of RWA, 51.01% of circular stability and 53.29% of total price locked to Defi (TVL), indicating the potential for network adoption and price growth within the crypto bull market.
Another possible market trigger with Ted Pillow highlighted is focused on the potential introduction of Ethereum ETF staking. The deadline for the SEC’s decision regarding the proposed staking options is in late May and late August. But Bloomberg analyst James Seyfert has shown that the committee could often wait until the final October deadline, as seen in ETH options trading.
The introduction of staking could drive inflows into Ethereum ETFs as it provides investors with additional revenue means. Staking allows ETFS custodians to lock ETH into the Ethereum network, act as validators for defined periods, and win committees in return.
Token Burning Post Spectra Upgrade Signal is in a Good Time
Among other potential bullish drivers, Ted Pillows has pointed to high levels of ETH burns after it began its Pectra Network upgrade on May 7th. High burn rates indicate an increase in rarity that is always suitable for market price assessments.
Finally, TED Pillow suggests that there is a growing possibility of a risk-on environment in the second half of 2025 as the US Federal Reserve is expected to cut interest rates and begin quantitative easing.
At the press conference, Ethereum continues trading at $2,334 after going back to a small market in the past few hours. In particular, asset trading volumes have increased by 62.81%, worth $49.85 billion.
