Where could Ethereum's price be heading?

ETH is expected to close out 2023 at $2,342, according to the average prediction provided by Finder's panel of fintech specialists.

• 2022 Ethereum price predictions

  Key statistics from 2022 reports:

  In 2022, Finder's panel predicted what price Ethereum would reach at the end of the year. The panel had big predictions in January and April of $6,500 and $5,783 with price predictions dropping off a cliff in July. The panel predicted Ethereum would be worth just $1,711 at the end of the year on average, not far off Ethereum's actual end-of-year price of $1,757.

  • In January, 11% of panellists said ETH's move to proof-of-stake will cause a price drop. However just one in five panellists (19%) said January was a good time to sell ETH.
  • 54% of the panel think Ethereum will eventually overtake BTC by market cap, with more than a quarter (29%) saying it will happen as soon as 2024.
  • 35% of panellists said ETH's deflationary mechanism following the Merge will positively impact price.
  • In October 46% of panellists said they thought Ethereum was underpriced.

• 2021 Ethereum price predictions

  At the start of 2021 Ethereum was worth just over $1,000 but Finder's panel predicted massive growth for the cryptocurrency. In April and July the panel predicted an end-of-year price of over $4,500 and this jumped to more than $5,000 in October. The panel's end-of-year price prediction ended up being pretty accurate – something that doesn't happen a lot in cryptocurrency - with ETH ending the year valued at $5,183.

  Key statistics from 2021 reports:

  • In July 93% of the panel said ETH will eventually be more frequently transacted than BTC and 68% said ETH will "flip" BTC by market cap.
  • In October the panel said it expected ETH to lose 30% of market share to alternative layer-1 networks over 2021.
  • One in ten panellists said they thought SOL would overtake ETH as the primary DeFi platform.
