Ethereum price forecasts target $4k‑$62k range by 2026 amid bullish ETH/BTC outlook

Fundstrat co‑founder Tom Lee reiterated a bullish case for Ethereum, saying the ETH/BTC price ratio is expected to rise in the second half of 2026. Lee noted that if Bitcoin reaches $250,000, Ethereum could trade between $12,000 and $22,000, and in a more optimistic scenario could climb to about $62,000, a level that would vastly expand the crypto market’s total value.

Separately, the newly launched Ethereum Institutional nonprofit, founded by former Ethereum Foundation leaders and backed by figures such as Joe Lubin, BitMine and Standard Chartered, announced it has forged more than 500 institutional relationships that collectively manage roughly $250 trillion in assets. Analysts at Standard Chartered price Ethereum between $4,000 and $5,000 for the end of 2026, while market observers cite a current price around $1,738. The platform highlights Ethereum’s role in stablecoins and tokenized assets, and some commentary points to speculative tokens like Pepeto as potential high‑multiple opportunities linked to the broader Ethereum ecosystem.
