Hashdex Chief Investment Officer: Ethereum price is expected to break through $10,000, with staking and tokenization as key drivers

ChainCatcher news, according to DL News, Hashdex Chief Investment Officer Samir Kerbage believes that the price of Ethereum is expected to break through $10,000. He pointed out that staking, tokenization, and intergenerational wealth transfer are the three main factors driving the rise in Ethereum's price.

• Staking: Ethereum's staking model provides investors with yield-generating assets, with approximately 36 million Ethereum currently staked, accounting for nearly one-third of the total supply on the network, and the average staking yield is 2.9%.
• Tokenization: The tokenization of real-world assets on Ethereum has exceeded expectations, growing from $5 billion in 2022 to $24 billion by mid-2025. JPMorgan predicts that this market will reach $16 trillion in the next 5 to 15 years.
• Intergenerational Wealth Transfer: Over 50% of Generation Z owns cryptocurrency, and it is expected that $100 trillion will be transferred from the older generation to the younger generation over the next 20 years, which will drive demand for Ethereum.

Kerbage believes that with the implementation of stablecoin solutions in U.S. payments, the price of Ethereum is expected to exceed $10,000.
