Co -founder Ethereum and CEO of Consensys Joseph Lubin shocks with ETH growth forecast by 10,000%. The expert provides for mass adoption by financial institutions and corporations.
Bold forecast. ETH may increase 100 times
Joseph Lubin, one of the most important figures in the world of cryptocurrencies and co -founder of Ethereum, just caused a real storm in the community. In his latest post on Platform X, he supported the vision of Analyst Tom Lee from Fundstrat, anticipating a spectacular increase in ETH value.
Yes, ETH will probably increase 100 times from this level. Probably much more
– wrote Lubin, commenting on optimistic predictions regarding the future of decentralized finances.
What is particularly interesting, Lubin is not a random person in the industry. As the former vice president of Goldman Sachs and the current CEO of Conszeys (the largest studio of Web3 software) has a unique experience combining traditional finances with new technologies.
Wall Street puts on Ethereum
According to Lubin, “seismic change” in global finances is coming. Giants from Wall Street will soon be:
- Run your own validator on the Ethereum network
- Operate the networks of the second and third layers (L2/L3)
- Write intelligent contracts
- Transfer your business infrastructure to blockchain ethereum
These forecasts are not unfounded. JPMorgan has been using technologies based on Ethereum for almost a decade, and Goldman Sachs, Onyx and the growing list of main banks launches initiatives related to Stablecoin and DEFs on this chain.
The numbers speak for themselves
The latest data show the actual trend of institutional adoption:
- From June 2025, treasury companies (en. Treasury), including Bitmine Immersion and Sharplink Gaming, added 2.6% of the entire ETH supply to their reserves
- Together with the influx to the new ETFs ETH, institutional buyers are already controlling almost 5% of Ethereum supply this year
- Sharplink and Bitmine currently have over USD 6 billion in ETH
The approval of many ETFs Ethereum by regulators was a breakthrough moment. Asset managers like Blackrock and Vaneck have invested billions of USD in ETH for their clients, and this trend is still gaining momentum.

“Decentralized trust” – the key to success
CEO Vaneck recently called Ethereum “Wall Street token”and Lubin explains the phenomenon of this cryptocurrency with the concept of “decentralized trust” – features that traditional institutions urgently need.
Migration from crushed, isolated systems to unified decentralized solutions makes stacking ETH both technical and economic necessity.
As Lubin emphasizes:
Nobody in the world can now understand how big and quick can be a rigorously decentralized economy, saturated with hybrid intelligence of a man-machine, acting on decentralized ethereum
The challenges that are currently facing Ethereum
Despite the optimistic forecasts, Ethereum faces serious challenges. September is historically the most difficult month for this cryptocurrency, with an average decrease by 6.42% from 2016.
After a meteoric growth in the summer (76% this year, nearly 25% in August), more correction is possible, especially in the context of macroeconomic moods and the implementation of profits by investors.
However, basic and key factors support growth:
- Net inflow from ETH from the institution
- A steady increase in resources in the corporate treasures
- Growing profits from staking (~ 3% APY per year)
- Continuous technological improvements
Lubin sums up:
The only issue disputed with what Tom says, and I keep telling him it – he is not bullish enough
Will the forecast 100 times the ETH token will work? Time will tell, but the growing institutional adoption and Defi infrastructure development suggest that Ethereum may actually enter the new growth phase that the cryptocurrency market has not yet seen.
