Arthur Hayes Predicts ETH to Reach $5,000 Within a Year, Citing Robinhood Chain Adoption

Maelstrom CIO Arthur Hayes expects the price of ETH to hit $5,000 within the next year, according to a report by the Korea Economic Daily. Speaking at the EastPoint: Seoul 2026 conference, Hayes highlighted Robinhood Markets' decision to use Ethereum as the security foundation for its layer-2 network, Robinhood Chain. Hayes believes this move by a major financial platform will lower the barrier for other institutions to adopt Ethereum, potentially driving significant price appreciation for ETH.
