VanEck Raises Ethereum (ETH) Price Target To $22,000 On ETF Hype

Investment asset management firm VanEck has become more daring in its prediction about Ethereum (ETH). The new projection hinges on the emergence of spot Ethereum ETF products which were greenlighted by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in May.

The VanEck Bullish Case for Ethereum

VanEck says that it has raised its Ethereum price target for 2030 to $22,000. This potential level would represent a total return of 487% from the current price of Ethereum and a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 37.8%.

Beyond the influence of core factors like spot Ethereum ETF news, the protocol is also poised to benefit from its ongoing scaling progress and other on-chain data. The firm claimed to have analyzed both Bitcoin and Ethereum’s performance in traditional and crypto-only portfolios. Having done this, it adjusted it for optimal returns to come up with the prospective price target.

On the matter of the ETFs, VanEck believes strongly that spot Ethereum ETF trading on crypto exchanges is commencing very soon. Since the 8 offerings were approved by the SEC, anticipating has built up regarding when S-1 registrations will be greenlight for trading to commence.

While market analysts scramble for answers, a recent comment from the SEC Chairman Gary Gensler has further dampened sentiments. At least, the approval may not come until after a few weeks. Should the product start trading eventually, it is poised to draw in at least $66 billion in free cash flow according to VanEck’s projections.

“Driven by a strong value proposition to entrepreneurs, the Ethereum network is likely to continue its rapid market share growth from traditional financial market participants and, increasingly, Big Tech,” VanEck’s Researchers led by Matthew Sigel revealed in an investor note published on Wednesday.

“Should it do so while maintaining its dominant position among smart contract platforms, we see a credible path to $66B in free cash flow to token holders supporting a $2.2 trillion asset, or $22k per coin, by 2030.”

Ethereum Remains the Attractive Altcoin

Ethereum has faced a lot of challenges even as it maintains its lead as the most robust decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol in the industry. From conversation around scalability to concerns it is a security, the coin – ETH – has beaten the worst of odds on its path. Today, with the spot ETF product attached to its brand, it remains the most attractive altcoin in the market.

There has always been a projection that the coin can topple Bitcoin in the long run. While VanEck was silent on this specific prospect, the firm postulated a 70/30 BTC-ETH adjusted portfolio for the best risk-adjusted returns.
