Ethereum may reach $15,800 by 2028 — Consensys

Analysts at Consensys predict that, based on their "Cost-to-Corrupt" model, which evaluates blockchain security and reliability, ETH is set to surge to $15,800 by 2028. They anticipate Ethereum evolving into a global financial infrastructure that supports verifiable and trustless systems, moving beyond its role as a smart contract platform.

The report notes that the traditional economy spends $9.3 trillion annually on intermediaries, including insurance, legal, and auditing services. Adopting Ethereum could significantly reduce these costs by streamlining regulatory and financial processes.

The Cost-to-Corrupt model links ETH’s market capitalization to network security. This means that as the blockchain becomes more valuable, it gets more expensive to attack. According to Consensys, the Ethereum ecosystem could host $1 trillion in stablecoins and $500 billion in tokenized assets by 2028.
