– Ethereum surges past $4,000 for first time since December 2024, peaking at $4,332 in 24 hours.

– Price driven by infrastructure upgrades, lower gas fees, DeFi/NFT growth, and $2.5B in ETF inflows.

– Analysts predict $5,000–$6,000 by 2025 if macroeconomic stability holds, with $500M in short liquidations signaling bullish shift.

– Ethereum 2.0’s PoS transition aims to reduce energy use, boost speeds, and attract enterprise adoption.

– 87% probability to maintain $4,000+ by August, though short-term volatility remains a caution for investors.
