Standard Chartered’s Global Head of Digital Assets Research Geoffrey Kendrick said Ethereum could climb to $40,000 by 2030 and outperform Bitcoin along the way, arguing that the next wave of tokenization, stablecoin growth, and institutional blockchain buildout is likely to land first on Ethereum. Speaking in a Milk Road interview with John Gillen, Kendrick tied his ETH thesis directly to how traditional finance is approaching on-chain infrastructure. His argument was not that Ethereum wins because of narrative momentum, but because it looks like the safest place for banks, asset managers, and large institutions to start building. Why Ethereum Could Outperform…

Some observers say counteracting forces have been at play. The Iran war-led haven demand has been supporting BTC around $65,000, while rising U.S. Treasury yields have been holding back big gains beyond $75,000.But another factor appears to have been quietly keeping bitcoin trapped in its range, and it’s tied to investors using call options to generate additional yield on top of their spot market holdings.”Throughout Q1, institutional…
