Odaily News According to Etherealize's latest research report, which proposes the "Productive Money" theory, if Ethereum captures the combined monetary premium of approximately $31 trillion currently held by gold and Bitcoin, its implied price could exceed $250,000, far above the current level of around $2,300.The report points out that ETH not only possesses traditional monetary attributes such as scarcity, verifiability, and censorship resistance but can also generate an annualized yield of about 2%–4% through staking, achieving an "interest-bearing" monetary characteristic, thereby distinguishing it from non-productive assets like gold and Bitcoin.Furthermore, within the DeFi system, ETH serves a triple demand source as a "collateral asset + fee-burning mechanism + staking lock-up," forming a mechanism for supply contraction and value accumulation. The report believes that with the development of on-chain finance and asset tokenization, ETH is expected to simultaneously possess the dual attributes of a "store of value + productive asset."However, the report also notes that ETH's path to achieving this valuation still faces multiple uncertainties including regulation, technology, and competition. Its long-term value revaluation depends on the market's recognition of its monetary properties.
Odaily News Tom Lee, Chairman of Bitmine, stated that market signals indicate the current "crypto winter" is nearing its end. He pointed out that since the low point in early February, ETH has rebounded by approximately 41% and has recently outperformed the S&P 500 index.He believes Ethereum is currently primarily benefiting from two major narrative drivers: the advancement of traditional financial asset tokenization and the rising demand from AI systems for public blockchain infrastructure. Furthermore, he noted that historically, crypto bear markets have often coincided with significant stock market corrections, and the current changes in the macro environment may suggest this cycle is approaching its conclusion.
