Ethereum’s Next Big Break: Could $35K Make You a Millionaire?
- Early ETH whale turned $310K into $4.3B after holding since the ICO days.
- Ethereum hit a new all-time high in 2025, fueled by ETF inflows and institutional money.
- Analysts project ETH could reach $35K long term, creating new millionaires.
Crypto loves its legends, and Ethereum has one of the best. An early ICO participant scored 1 million ETH for just $310,000. That haul is now worth around $4.3 billion, even though the wallet stayed dormant for nearly eight years. Recently, the whale reappeared, staking 150,000 ETH and pocketing $656,000 in staking rewards almost instantly. It’s the kind of story that keeps investors hooked—proof that patience in crypto can pay off in staggering ways.
Ethereum’s 2025 Breakout
After years of dragging, Ethereum finally found new life this year. ETH blasted to a fresh all-time high of $4,946.05 in 2025, ending a nearly four-year wait. A big part of the surge comes from ETF inflows, which opened the floodgates for institutional money. Momentum has flipped, and analysts now see Ethereum as more than just another coin—it’s becoming a pillar of the financial system.

ICYMI: Today an early Ethereum ICO participant staked 150,000 $ETH ($656M) after being dormant for 8 years.
He received 1M $ETH for just $310K during the ICO.
Now worth a staggering $4.3B.pic.twitter.com/dfJFDgqf9x
The Path to $35K
Standard Chartered predicts ETH could climb to $8,000 by 2026, but that might just be the start. Their long-term outlook places Ethereum between $26,000 and $35,000, a valuation that could mint a new wave of millionaires, maybe even billionaires. With Bitcoin possibly hitting $1 million before 2030, Ethereum could follow it into six-digit territory. Add in developer dominance, ETF growth, and massive adoption across DeFi, and ETH is shaping up as one of the biggest long-term plays in the market.
