Ethereum Awakens: Can the Rally Carry It to $10K?

Ethereum has staged its first breakout since 2021, surging 43% year-to-date compared to bitcoin’s 23%.

The rally is fueled by record-low exchange reserves — just 18.4 million ETH, the lowest since 2016 — alongside growing institutional demand from ETFs and corporate treasuries now holding over 9 million ETH combined. Supporters see shrinking supply and rising adoption as a setup for higher prices, with some predicting a move toward $10,000. Analysts highlight ethereum’s expanding role in stablecoins, tokenization, and payments as further drivers of long-term demand.
