Standard Chartered Raises Ethereum Price Outlook to $25,000 by 2028

Standard Chartered says recent institutional accumulation, new stablecoin regulations, upcoming protocol upgrades will drive Ether's price higher over the next four years.

Overview

  • Standard Chartered lifted its multi-year Ethereum targets to $7,500 by end-2025, $12,000 in 2026, $18,000 in 2027 and $25,000 by 2028–29.
  • Institutional investors and spot Ethereum ETFs have withdrawn roughly 3.8% of circulating supply since June, reducing on-exchange liquidity.
  • The GENIUS Act’s stablecoin framework is expected to boost demand on Ethereum, where dollar-pegged tokens account for about 40% of on-chain fees.
  • Kraken reported an all-time high in ETH perpetual futures open interest while funding rates remained subdued, indicating capital-efficient derivative usage.
  • Analysts note that past forecast revisions, reliance on continued accumulation, technical support levels and broader macro conditions make these projections conditional.
