Ethereum (ETH) is at a crucial moment that could pave the way for further growth in the cryptocurrency’s value. This conclusion was drawn by analysts from the Bernstein research firm. According to their estimates, the growing interest from investors in financial innovations, such as asset tokenization and stablecoins, significantly enhances the value of the Ethereum ecosystem.

Increased Interest from Institutional Investors in Ethereum
The Bernstein report emphasizes that the focus of institutional investors is gradually shifting from Bitcoin, which remains an important hedging tool, to the broader blockchain space. In particular, key financial innovations are being implemented on the Ethereum network, including the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA) and the use of stablecoins.
Bernstein analysts noted that major companies such as Visa, Mastercard, and Stripe are actively experimenting with stablecoins, which further stimulates demand for Ethereum’s infrastructure. This, according to experts, enhances the network’s role as a “rail” for the introduction of new financial products, positively impacting the value of its cryptocurrency.
“It is not surprising that as institutional awareness of the asset increases, we are witnessing a revival in the inflow of funds into Ethereum ETFs. Over the past 20 days, capital inflows into these products amounted to $815 million, and since the beginning of the year, the net inflow of funds has turned positive, reaching $658 million. This is a stage where the cryptocurrency is making a leap from speculative token markets to blockchain-based financial innovations,” the report states.
Investment Dynamics and Ethereum’s Prospects
According to analysts, just in the past week, from June 2 to June 6, 2025, the net inflow of funds into spot Ethereum ETFs exceeded $280 million. Since the beginning of the year, this figure has also remained positive, indicating growing trust from investors and market participants.
Bernstein emphasizes that Ethereum is at what is known as a “turning point” — a critical stage where the trend can sharply shift from downward to upward. This situation opens new prospects for the further development of the cryptocurrency against the backdrop of increasing interest in innovative financial solutions.
It is worth noting that in May 2025, the price of Ethereum rose by nearly 41%. A significant jump was recorded at the beginning of the month, which experts attribute to the strong undervaluation of the asset and the growing interest from investors in new blockchain opportunities.
