Hayes Sees Ethereum Reaching $10,000 by End-2026 Based on Institutional Role
Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX and CIO at Maelstrom, predicts Ethereum will reach $10,000 by the end of 2026. This forecast is based on Ethereum's institutional role as infrastructure for large capital.
The current price of ETH is around $2,660, according to CoinMarketCap data. A move to $10,000 would require a 276% increase from this level.
Hayes believes that Ethereum's scale and liquidity make it an attractive destination for institutional capital, citing its perceived suitability for large allocations.
