[Macro Exchange]

Standard Chartered’s 2028 Prediction
Ethereum (#ETH):
2025 — $7,500
2026 — $12,000
2027 — $18,000
2028 — $25,000

Growth drivers: institutional buying, stablecoin market hitting $2T by 2028, US regulatory clarity, L1 scaling on Ethereum, DeFi & L2 expansion, and ETH positioning as infrastructure for traditional finance.

Bitcoin (#BTC):
2025 — $200K
2026 — $300K
2027 — $400K
2028 — $500K

Not a fairy tale, these prices are achievable for both of it. The two top crypto in the market. I'm looking forward to see Bitcoin have that price by 2028 and by 2029, it could be more. But there's a kind of odd with this prediction, did they really said this? 2026 should be the bear market and it shouldn't be at that price. I can't tell but that's how the cycle goes although if that happens, I'd be happy to see that the bears won't be relevant anymore for the next cycles but, I still believe that we'll need to go through some huge corrections after this year.

Achievable sure, but this seems like an extremely bullish prediction. They do not expect a bear market to happen at all from now to the next halving cycle? That would be drastically different from anything that has happened so far with the market.

Exactly the key is not to wear rose-colored glasses.  Even in bullish times, markets can surprise you, so it’s wise to take profits gradually along the way and protect your gains.

Well, the end result in 2028 might be possible, but the chart shows significant increases each year in the meantime, which doesn’t seem very realistic.

Are they assuming the 4-year cycle is gone and there won’t be any more bear markets? That doesn’t sound right.

Most analysts predict a bear cycle from 2026 to 2028. But hey, it’s crypto — it always surprises everyone.
