Ethereum at $40,000: Standard Chartered’s Long-Term Thesis

In a market still marked by volatility, Standard Chartered analysts maintain a resolutely ultra-bullish outlook. According to their scenario, the price of ETH could reach $40,000 by 2030, a projection that implies a massive revaluation from current levels.

This forecast goes far beyond short-term logic. For the bank, Ethereum is not simply a speculative asset, but a key infrastructure for the future digital economy, set to capture a growing share of global on-chain value.

From this perspective, the current phase would be more of an accumulation zone than a signal of weakness. Institutional investors are monitoring these levels, betting that the network’s fundamentals will ultimately prevail over market noise.

Catalysts, Breakout, and the Question of Timing

The optimism rests on several structural drivers. Standard Chartered points to a context of macroeconomic relief, favorable to risk assets, while Ethereum attempts to emerge from a recovery phase after defending key demand zones.

In the short term, the price remains confronted with technical resistance. But in the long term, the identified drivers are powerful: DeFi expansion, the rise of RWAs, and the lasting impact of spot ETFs, which reinforce ETH’s institutional legitimacy.

The central question remains that of timing. While the $40,000 target may seem distant, the divergence between the current price and this theoretical valuation offers an attractive risk/reward ratio. The question remains whether Ethereum can preserve its dominance against competitors like Solana during the next cycle.
