Etherealize CEO releases 2026 prediction: ETH may rise to $15,000

Etherealize CEO Vivek Raman released a 2026 forecast, stating that Ethereum will achieve a fivefold growth in three major areas by 2026. In the realm of tokenized assets, institutions such as JPMorgan, BlackRock, and Fidelity have deployed money market funds and private credit products on Ethereum, with the total value expected to increase from $18 billion to $100 billion.

Stablecoins received regulatory support after the passage of the GENIUS Act, with SoFi becoming the first national bank to issue stablecoins on a public blockchain, and its market capitalization is expected to grow from $308 billion to $1.5 trillion, with Ethereum accounting for about 60%.

The Layer 2 ecosystem is thriving, with Coinbase, Robinhood, and Deutsche Bank building dedicated chains. Four companies, including BitMine Immersion and Sharplink Gaming, have purchased approximately 4.5% of the ETH supply as reserve assets, mimicking the MicroStrategy model. The report predicts that the price of ETH will increase fivefold to $15,000, with a market capitalization reaching $2 trillion, on par with Bitcoin.
