Jakarta, Pintu News – The cryptocurrency market is always full of predictions and speculations. One of the most attention-grabbing ones recently was a prediction from Tesseract CEO, James Harris, who predicted that Ethereum (ETH) will experience a 160% price increase towards the end of 2025.
Check out the full analysis in this article!
James Harris, CEO of Finland-based company Tesseract, has given a very optimistic prediction for the future of Ethereum (ETH). In a recent interview, Harris predicted that Ethereum (ETH) will be trading for $6,500 by the end of 2025.
This marks a 160% jump from the current price. Harris rests his prediction on several factors, including increased participation in Ethereum (ETH) staking and wider adoption by large corporations.
In addition, he also emphasized that the increase in gas consumption by second-tier (L2) applications will support a significant increase in the price of Ethereum (ETH).

While Harris’ prediction is very bullish, there are several factors that could hinder the realization of this prediction. One of them is the potential for unfavorable regulatory barriers, which could derail this forecast.
Recently, the staking application for the Ethereum ETF (ETH) has been delayed by the United States SEC.
However, Harris remains optimistic, given the positive trend of inflows into Ethereum (ETH) ETFs and the not yet fully integrated Pectra upgrade which is expected to boost Ethereum (ETH) prices in the second half of the year.

On the other hand, not all analysts share Harris’ optimistic outlook. 10X Research CEO Markus Thielen has a more pessimistic view, predicting that Ethereum (ETH) will trade at $2,300, down 8% from its current price.
Thielen argues that the decline in Ethereum (ETH) user activity is the main obstacle to a price increase later in the year. In addition, Ethereum (ETH) also faces stiff competition from Solana (SOL) and Ripple (XRP), which are closing in as real threats.
Nonetheless, some companies that have Ethereum (ETH)-based treasury strategies such as SharpLink Gaming and Bit Digital, are showing impressive levels of activity.
With various predictions floating around, the Ethereum (ETH) market is filled with uncertainty but also opportunities. Investors and market watchers should remain alert to the changing dynamics and external factors that may affect the price.
Whether Harris’ optimistic prediction will come true or whether Ethereum (ETH) will follow a more dismal path as predicted by Thielen, only time will tell.
