According to Walter Bloomberg, Standard Chartered raised its Ethereum price target, raising its new $7,500 forecast to $4,000 at the end of 2025, and its year-end forecast for 2028 from $7,500 to $25,000.
The reason for the new outlook could be in the recently disclosed corporate reserve accumulation plans. The total targets for some of these companies are already totaling at ETH of $30.4 billion, already totaling $7.59 billion. Bitmine is the largest planned allocation of $22 billion, aiming to reach around 5% of total ETH supply.
Other companies such as Sharplink Gaming, BTCS Inc., The Ether Machine, Bit Digital and GamesQuare have set smaller but notable targets.

Previously, Standard Chartered did not emphasize that the growing role of Ethereum in tokenization pilots, Stablecoin Settlement, or Layer-2 scaling. Banks say these factors can help the network grow stronger and grow over time.
What is the price of Ethereum (ETH)?
Ethereum is currently trading for around $4,636. This is an increase of 7.95% from the previous day, and almost 28% over the last week. Its market capitalization is approximately $560 billion, with daily trading volumes of nearly $64 billion.
Recent business enthusiasts have returned ETH to the price level they last saw in late 2021. The chart shows that the next area of potential resistance is $4,800.
At $25,000, Ethereum's market capitalization is above $3 trillion based on current supply levels. But to get there, we need to see more money coming in, but that's not the case for now.
