Standard Chartered Bullish on Ether: $7.5K Target by Year-End, $25K by 2028

Ethereum just got a turbocharged price forecast—and Wall Street's taking notes.

Standard Chartered's latest crypto bombshell predicts ETH hitting $7,500 by December, then moonwalking to $25,000 within three years. Forget 'slow and steady'—this is institutional FOMO at terminal velocity.

Why the stratospheric targets? The bank's analysts point to Ethereum's deflationary mechanics and institutional adoption curves. Apparently burning fees and accumulating whales makes for better rocket fuel than your average meme coin.

Of course, traditional finance types will still call it gambling—right before allocating 0.5% of their pension funds 'for diversification.' The real question: will ETH's infrastructure upgrades keep pace with these price ambitions? Gas wars and scaling solutions might determine whether this forecast ages like fine wine or milk.

One thing's certain—crypto's no longer the rebellious teenager. When conservative banks start throwing around five-digit predictions, the revolution's officially been institutionalized.
