PANews reported on April 22nd that, according to The Block, Ethereum ecosystem marketing firm Etherealize updated its long-term ETH price forecast to $250,000, a downward revision from its previous target of $740,000. Etherealize co-founder Vivek Raman stated that if Ethereum captures the same value storage premium as Bitcoin and gold (which together account for approximately $31 trillion), based on the current circulating supply of 121 million ETH, the implied price of ETH would exceed $250,000. The report argues that ETH is unique in monetary history, serving as both a store of value and a productive asset generating returns through a proof-of-stake consensus mechanism, breaking the historical trade-off between "safe money" and "productive investment." The report also points out that Ethereum is already the dominant settlement layer for tokenized assets, stablecoins, and decentralized finance, with the network limiting supply growth to 1.5% annually by burning a portion of transaction fees, and potentially even experiencing deflation as usage increases.
