Standard Chartered Bank lowers ETH target price from $10000 to $4000 by the end of 2025

Odaily Planet Daily News: Standard Chartered Bank has significantly lowered its ETH price target for the end of 2025 from $10000 to $4000 in its latest research report, believing that Ethereum is facing a structural decline. Standard Chartered Bank pointed out that this decision was made based on the following factors: 1. L2 expansion weakens ETH market value: Layer 2 (L2), originally used to enhance Ethereum scalability, such as Coinbase's Base, has caused ETH market value to evaporate by $50 billion and may continue to affect its market dominance; in addition 2. The ETH/BTC ratio is expected to continue to decline: Standard Chartered predicts that the ETH/BTC ratio will fall to 0.015 by the end of 2027, the lowest level since 2017. 3. Future growth may rely on RWA: If the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA) develops rapidly, ETH may still maintain its 80% security market share, but the Ethereum Foundation needs to adopt more aggressive business strategies (such as taxing L2), but this possibility is low. （CoinDesk）
