Ethereum, Possibility of surpassing 10,000 dollars before Q2 2026

Optimistic prospects have been raised that Ethereum (ETH) could surpass $10,000 before the second quarter of next year (April to June 2026).

Cointelegraph reported on the 15th (local time), citing Coinglass data, that ETH futures open interest (Open Interest, OI) has surged 64% since June 22, and increased by 31% in the last 7 days. This is interpreted as a signal that new funds are rapidly flowing into the ETH market and that investors' buying sentiment is strong.

Cryptocurrency analyst John K. Davis analyzed, "Even looking very conservatively, ETH can reach $6,000 by 2026, and it is quite possible to exceed $10,000 optimistically."

The recent ‘Crypto Week’ where stablecoin legislation is being discussed centered on the US House of Representatives and expectations for an Ethereum spot ETF are also increasing expectations for an ETH rise. Experts predict that if regulatory clarity and institutional entry become full-fledged, Ethereum can lead a bull market along with Bitcoin.
