Standard Chartered Bank believes Ethereum will outperform Bitcoin in the future Standard Chartered Bank stated that Ethereum's outlook has improved and is expected to outperform Bitcoin. Despite BTC's weak performance dragging down the broader crypto market, rising institutional demand for ETH, along with its dominance in stablecoins, real-world assets, and decentralized finance, supports a stronger outlook. Improvements in network throughput and potential regulatory clarity in the U.S. could provide further upside. The bank predicts Ethereum will reach $7,500 this year and $30,000 by 2029.
