Ethereum Could Hit $60,000 in 3 Years: Analyst Maps ₱436.18 trillion ($7.3 trillion) Path

Crypto analyst Patel mapped five Ethereum price scenarios for the next bull run, with the highest target reaching $60,000 and a market cap of ₱436.18 trillion ($7.3 trillion). That ultra-bull case would push Ethereum's valuation above Nvidia's current ₱268.88 trillion ($4.5 trillion) market cap, making it larger than the world's biggest company. Patel's base case target sits at $12,000, which would give Ethereum a ₱86.64 trillion ($1.45 trillion) market cap — roughly the size of Meta. The bear scenario puts ETH at $8,000 with a $965 billion valuation just under Walmart's $1 trillion, while the ultra-bear target of $5,000 would match Visa's $610 billion market cap.

Patel said Ethereum has gone mainstream and is now competing with the world's largest balance sheets. At the time of writing, ETH traded at $2,200, meaning even the ultra-bear scenario would deliver a 2.4x gain.

Bitmine Chairman Tom Lee pushed an even higher number, predicting ETH could rally to $250,000 if the network proves to be the future of finance driving the tokenization wave. Lee expects Wall Street companies will adopt Ethereum as real-world assets tokenization gains more traction. The RWA narrative has picked up steam as traditional finance explores blockchain-based securities and commodities. The bull case of $21,000 would require a 10x gain from current levels and a $2.54 trillion market cap, putting Ethereum between Meta and Microsoft's $2.8 trillion valuation, according to Patel's analysis spanning targets through 2029.
