An analysis suggests that Ethereum (ETH) is emerging as a key infrastructure for the next-generation digital economy, with the possibility of surpassing $10,000, in conjunction with the expansion of the artificial intelligence industry.
Cryptocurrency specialized media CCN reported on April 11 that Marc Andreessen, co-founder of Andreessen Horowitz, emphasized the connection between the growth of the artificial intelligence industry and the rise in Ethereum's value. Andreessen stated, “AI requires decentralized infrastructure free from centralized control, and Ethereum is the optimal solution for that.”
Andreessen predicted that as AI agents that independently perform economic activities proliferate, the use of Ethereum's smart contracts as a reliable means of payment and contracting will expand. He explained that blockchain-based infrastructure plays an essential role in the process of AI agents purchasing computational resources and trading data.
With the advancement of AI technology, an automated economic structure that operates without human intervention is rapidly forming. In this process, Ethereum is evaluated to stably support machine-to-machine transaction environments based on transaction transparency and security. There is also a possibility that the speed of ecosystem expansion will accelerate along with increased network usage.
Market experts predict that if the combination of artificial intelligence and blockchain fully materializes, the price of Ethereum could exceed $10,000. Institutional investors, while acknowledging Bitcoin (BTC) as a store of value, are re-evaluating Ethereum, which has high practical utility.
On-chain indicators also support expectations for a rise. According to Santiment analysis, Ethereum's open interest is steadily increasing, and asset movement out of exchanges continues, strengthening signals of supply reduction. The Relative Strength Index and the Market Value to Realized Value ratio also showed trends suggesting the possibility of entering a long-term uptrend.
Ethereum is poised to play a crucial infrastructure role in an AI-based economic system, beyond being a simple payment method. As AI agent activity expands and network utilization increases, its influence in the market is also growing.
