The post Ethereum Price: Here’s What Prevents It From Rallying appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Ethereum’s (ETH) potential to pump is capped, crypto researcher says Ethereum (ETH) inflation rate in 2025: What to know Ethereum (ETH), the second largest cryptocurrency, might lose its opportunity to pump as it fails to become a “store of value” instrument. The acceleration of ETH burn process might help the oldest programmable blockchain to reclaim its status. Ethereum’s (ETH) potential to pump is capped, crypto researcher says Ethereum (ETH) fails to be accepted as a “store of value,” which, in turn, prevents it from pumping. Without the “SoV premium,” other catalysts are not powerful enough to change the status quo, cryptocurrency researcher Ignas (@DefiIgnas) shared in an X post today, Oct. 4, 2025. $ETH potential to pump is capped by its failure to be accepted as SoV. To buy and hold $ETH now you need to believe in its ability to become a store of value asset. Yes, $ETH can run to 10k with no fundamental change, but the current narrative of tokenization and RWAs is not… pic.twitter.com/JBn2oQupFE — Ignas | DeFi (@DefiIgnas) October 4, 2025 Narratives like real-world asset (RWA) tokenization and stablecoins can even “backfire” for Ethereum’s (ETH) adoption and attractiveness as there are more blockchains tailored for privacy-focused use cases with low fees and fast transaction confirmation. The silver lining is that alternative L1s — blockchains running on non-EVM virtual machines — lack even the potential of store of value as none of them can compete with Ethereum’s decentralization metrics and neutrality. By contrast, native yield mechanisms and its own DeFi ecosystem are two key pillars of Ethereum’s (ETH) potential. At the same time, to realize them, Ethereum (ETH) should increase its burn rate to become deflationary again: So if you buy and hold $ETH now, you should believe that Ethereum will find a way to tax… The post Ethereum Price: Here’s What Prevents It From Rallying appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
