Jakarta, Pintu News – For investors looking for an alternative asset to Ethereum with strong decentralization principles, ETC could be an interesting option. However, it is recommended to do in-depth research before buying.

Ethereum Classic (ETC) is the result of the Ethereum network split following the DAO Hack incident in 2016. ETC retains the principle of “code is law”, and continues to use the Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus mechanism, unlike Ethereum (ETH) which has switched to Proof-of-Stake (PoS).
With the current price hovering around $22, ETC is still far from its record high of $176.16 . But many analysts see exciting long-term growth potential.

The latest technical analysis shows that selling pressure still dominates, with ETC trading around $22.30 (€360,646), down 4% in the last 24 hours. However, the RSI and SMA indicators show that the bearish momentum is starting to weaken.
Strong support is at $21.86 (IDR353,548), while short-term resistance is at $22.71 (IDR367,008). If ETC is able to break this resistance, the price has the potential to rise towards $24.57 (IDR397,406).

According to Cryptopolitan’s analysis, the ETC price is predicted to move between $11.73 (IDR189,656) as the lowest level, and $37.89 (IDR612,663) as the highest target in 2025. The average price is estimated at $33.63 ($543,877).
This rise will largely depend on the momentum of the crypto market in general, the adoption of Ethereum Classic by institutional investors, and global geopolitical stability.
The following is the ETC price projection per year based on long-term technical data:
| Year | Minimum Price | Average Price | Maximum Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | IDR 752,971 | IDR774,936 | Rp910,204 |
| 2027 | IDR1,044,951 | Rp1,082,699 | Rp1,320,593 |
| 2028 | IDR1,518,115 | IDR1,573,165 | IDR1,812,531 |
| 2029 | IDR 2,278,445 | IDR 2,354,142 | IDR 2,692,982 |
| 2030 | Rp3,333,225 | Rp3,453,274 | Rp3,956,693 |
| 2031 | IDR4,068,976 | IDR4,204,857 | IDR 4,615,260 |
(Conversion rate 1 USD = IDR16,168)

Some factors that could drive the price of ETC include:
However, risks remain. Ethereum’s dominance as the main smart contract network, as well as the volatility of the crypto market in general, could be a challenge for ETC going forward.

As one of the oldest and PoW-based cryptocurrencies, Ethereum Classic still retains its historical and technological value. Although not as popular as ETH, ETC has a loyal community and a more conservative economic model.
