#Ethereum could rise to $12,000.#

Ethereum could reach $12,000 this year, according to a prediction by Dr. Sean Dawson, Head of Research at Derive. He believes that Ethereum's Pectra upgrade, a pro-crypto US president, wider adoption, and increased ETF absorption will all drive the price of Ether higher. The Pectra upgrade is a major update to the Ethereum network designed to improve its efficiency and scalability. President Trump's positive stance on cryptocurrencies has also provided a favorable policy environment for Ethereum's development. Additionally, Ethereum's application scenarios are expanding, with more and more companies adopting Ethereum technology, which will also drive demand for Ether. Finally, the launch of ETFs will provide institutional investors with a convenient channel to invest in Ethereum, further driving the price of Ether higher.
