Can Etherum hit $10k by the end of this year?
Let's breakdown it .
Most financial institutions and analysts have lowered their absolute price targets for 2026, clustering in the $6,000 - $8,500 range.
· Standard Chartered: The bank calls 2026 "the year of Ethereum" and expects it to outperform Bitcoin, but it lowered its formal year-end target to $7,500 (down from a previous $12,000 estimate).
· Tom Lee (Fundstrat): projects a range of $7,000 - $9,000 by early 2026.
· Bloomberg Analysts: Maintain a longer-term view, projecting $10,000 is possible, but as a 2027 milestone, aligning with a post-halving cycle peak.
· Prediction Markets (Kalshi): As of early 2026, traders assigned only a 10% probability of ETH even reaching $6,000 this year; contracts for $10,000 are not listed due to perceived implausibility.
