{"content":"Citi Calls It 📊 – Moderate ETF Inflows Expected for Ethereum Ethereum (ETH), the second-largest cryptocurrency, is consolidating between $4,200 and $4,700 after reaching its ATH last August. Bitcoin (BTC) and other digital currencies, like ETH, are struggling to recoup the impetus that propelled them to new high above $124,000 and $4,9000, respectively. The third-largest US investment bank, Citigroup, has lowered its Ethereum price projection to $4,300 by year-end. Citi Expects Moderate Ethereum ETF Inflows Citigroup links Ethereum demand to growing interest in Ethereum-based applications like stablecoins and tokenization, according to Reuters. The bank warns that recent price gains may be due to market mood rather than fundamentals. Ethereum's popularity has increased among investors seeking more than price gain. The recent enactment of measures, like the GENIUS Act, which intends to offer a new framework for stablecoins, and the rise in tokenization interest are expected to boost altcoin prices. Despite these improvements, Citigroup expects Ethereum ETF inflows to be lower than Bitcoin. Standard Chartered has raised its Ethereum year-end estimate from $4,000 to $7,500. Citi also made a bullish bull case, predicting a $6,400 price if Ethereum-based applications gain popularity. This would propel the top altcoin 42% higher. The bank predicted a negative scenario in which Ethereum will plummet to $2,200 in a macroeconomic slump or equities market collapse. As a 50% decline from current levels, this scenario might be disastrous for bulls. A new analysis from digital asset bank Sygnum offers a more positive view for Ethereum. The bank said Ethereum's enhancements and rising institutional interest might help it capitalize on stablecoin issuance and adoption trends. The digital asset bank also said that as exchange able Ethereum reserves decrease and demand grows, a supply crunch might propel the cryptocurrency to new highs. #ETH #BNBChainEcosystemRally #BNBBreaksATH #AltcoinSeasonComing? #Write2Earn $ETH $BNB ","images":["https://d2kdcqywr8ua22.cloudfront.net/uploadfile/article/blog/2025092025/09/17/5d9e8308d8c5454697c5eae6ee8979ef.png"],"tags":[],"tradingPairs":["BNB/USDT"],"quotearticleid":0}
