Ethereum Classic, the original Ethereum blockchain that maintained the principle of "Code is Law" after the 2016 DAO hack, continues to operate as a Proof-of-Work smart contract platform. With its commitment to immutability and decentralization, ETC has carved out a unique position in the cryptocurrency ecosystem.
With Ethereum Classic currently trading at $28.50, our analysis suggests ETC could reach $35 in 2025 under normal market conditions, with potential to hit $50 if the Olympia upgrade progresses smoothly and market sentiment remains bullish. These predictions factor in the upcoming governance improvements, hashrate growth, and the network's appeal to PoW supporters.
