These scenarios are not guarantees. They show the most likely path, the upside path, and the downside path based on the evidence available now.
The most likely path, plus upside and downside
Ethereum's price stabilizes around $2,900, supported by developments in quantum security, leading to sustained investor confidence.
A successful implementation of post-quantum upgrades could push Ethereum's price above $3,500 as institutional interest increases.
Failure to effectively address quantum security threats or a broader market downturn could result in Ethereum's price falling below $2,500.
