Gemini AI Predicts Ethereum Price Surge to $3,500 by End of 2026

The Ethereum network is set for significant upgrades, according to Google Gemini AI's predictions. The AI model forecasts that the increased throughput will reframe what Ethereum can handle, and predicts a price target of $3,200 to $4,200 by the end of 2026, with $3,500 as the base case from $2,100.

The upgrades are centered around the Platåberget testnet for Glamsterdam, which introduces block-level access lists through EIP-7928 and enshrined proposer-builder separation via EIP-7732. These changes significantly expand Layer-1 gas throughput towards a 200 million figure.

The next scope of client developers is already being finalized, with the Hegota upgrade confirming FOCIL through EIP-7805 and native account abstraction under evaluation as EIP-8141. Both feed stateless validation via Verkle trees.
