Key points

- Citi lifted its Ether forecast to $3,028 from $2,240.
- Citi cited stronger crypto activity, renewed ETF demand and a more supportive macro backdrop.
- Citi forecasts about $5 billion of inflows over the next 12 months.

Why it matters
Citi's targets tie Bitcoin and Ether outlooks to renewed ETF demand and gradual adviser and brokerage allocations. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs have recovered from 2026 outflows, with roughly $800 million in net inflows by late September.
What's unclear
Whether ETF inflows will continue at the pace Citi expects is not known. Citi's 12-month targets depend on that trend.
