The view that institutional interest in Ethereum (ETH) is still in its very early stages is becoming increasingly accepted. Most recently, the globally operating Standard Chartered Bank shared a rather bold assessment regarding Ethereum’s future.
According to the bank’s analysis, as corporate treasuries continue to purchase ETH in the coming period, this interest will become much more visible. In fact, Standard Chartered predicts that these institutional purchases could reach up to 10% of Ethereum’s total circulating supply.
Standard Chartered: A 10x Increase Could Occur
Another key point highlighted by the bank is that current institutional Ethereum investments only reflect a small portion of the full potential. According to Standard Chartered, the amount of ETH held in corporate treasuries could increase 10-fold in the coming period. This situation could completely shift the market’s supply-demand balance.
Such strong accumulation of Ethereum by institutional companies could have long-term effects not only on the price but also on the overall network usage and security. After all, the Ethereum network is positioned as the backbone of smart contracts and decentralized finance (DeFi) applications.
ETH’s Strategic Role is Expanding
This prediction by Standard Chartered suggests that Ethereum could further solidify its leadership role in the altcoin markets. As the second-largest cryptocurrency after Bitcoin, ETH is no longer just an investment tool; it is also becoming a strategic asset for technology companies.
The growing institutional interest could also reduce Ethereum’s volatility over time and help it become a more stable store of value.
