Should You Buy Ethereum in 2025?

In 2025, Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) will celebrate its 10th anniversary. When Ethereum first launched in July 2015, it traded for less than $3. Ten years later, it's now trading for $3,200. Over the past decade, Ethereum has even outperformed Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC).

However, there's growing evidence to suggest that you might think twice about investing in Ethereum in 2025. Here are several key factors to consider.

The biggest point of concern, quite frankly, is the continued appearance of new blockchain challengers, all of which are capable of knocking Ethereum off its top perch. If you take a look at the top 12 cryptocurrencies by market cap, five of them -- Solana (CRYPTO: SOL), Cardano (CRYPTO: ADA), Tron (CRYPTO: TRX), Avalanche (CRYPTO: AVAX), and Sui (CRYPTO: SUI) -- are direct rivals to Ethereum.
