Standard Chartered has significantly revised its year-end 2025 Ethereum forecast upward. The bank has raised its previous $4,000 year-end target to $7,500, while also increasing its 2028 projection from $7,500 to $25,000. This update reflects the bank’s confidence in Ethereum’s strong growth potential in both the medium and long term.
The Big Gap Between Standard Chartered’s 2025 and 2028 Targets
The bank’s new projection has made waves in the altcoin market. Nearly doubling the 2025 target suggests that ETH could see significant upward momentum in the near future. The increase of the 2028 target to $25,000 reinforces expectations that ETH will expand not only in financial markets but also in DeFi, NFTs, and enterprise blockchain applications in the coming years.
Previous Forecasts and Market Dynamics
Previously, the bank had set its ETH target for 2025 at $4,000 and for 2028 at $7,500. However, the recent recovery in the crypto market, rapid growth in the DeFi ecosystem, and increasing institutional interest in ETH have led to a major upward revision of these figures. In addition, ETH’s technological upgrades addressing scalability and transaction costs have contributed to the growing optimism in price expectations.
Ethereum Price Outlook
ETH is currently trading at $4,681. Over the past 24 hours, it has recorded a 1.99% increase, while its strong 78.08% performance over the last six months highlights growing investor interest and rising market confidence.
