Standard Chartered, that venerable institution of finance, has taken a rather dramatic turn in its prognosis for Ethereum, dear reader. Apparently, their crystal ball has clouded over with visions of a rather dismal future for the once-lauded blockchain.
They now predict that Ethereum’s price, a mere $1,900 as we speak, will languish at a paltry $4,000 by the year 2025! 😱 A reduction of 60% – a veritable financial apocalypse! The bank’s analysts, bless their hearts, attribute this demise to the insidious rise of Layer 2 solutions, those pesky upstarts who dare to challenge Ethereum’s dominance.
These “innovations,” as they call them, have apparently siphoned off a staggering $50 billion from Ethereum’s market capitalization, leaving it looking decidedly less robust. One can only imagine the despair of the Ethereum faithful! 😭
Take, for instance, Coinbase’s “Base” network – a sort of digital parasite, feasting on Ethereum’s bounty while channeling its profits back to the parent company. How gauche!
Of course, Standard Chartered doesn’t stop there. They also predict a decline in the ETH/BTC ratio, a decline so steep it would make a mountain goat blush. By the end of 2027, they say, Ethereum will be worth a mere 0.015 Bitcoin – a level not seen since the dark ages of 2017!
💥BREAKING:
STANDARD CHARTERED CUT ITS YEAR-END 2025 $ETH TARGET FROM $10K TO $4K.
THEY EXPECT $500K FOR BITCOIN…

Despite these rather bleak pronouncements, one mustn’t forget that Ethereum still reigns supreme in certain realms – decentralized finance, stablecoins, and tokenized assets, all glitteringly grand! Yet, its dominance, alas, appears to be waning. Unless the Ethereum Foundation takes drastic measures, such as imposing taxes on those pesky Layer 2 solutions, this decline is likely to continue.
The bank acknowledges, with a hint of optimism, that Ethereum’s price could still rise from its current slumber, especially if Bitcoin enjoys a meteoric ascent. But let us not be fooled, dear reader, for Standard Chartered warns us that Ethereum’s relative underperformance may persist in the coming years. A cautionary tale indeed, a reminder that even the mightiest can fall.
