🚀 **Ethereum Eyes \$25K — Standard Chartered’s Bold Call as ATH Nears**

Standard Chartered has raised its **Ethereum price targets**: \$7,500 by year-end and **\$25,000 by 2028**.

ETH could reach **\$7,500** if it breaks its all-time high and completes the **symmetrical wedge profit objective**. After revising the year-end estimate to \$7,500, ETH surpassed **\$4,700** on Wednesday and is approaching its all-time high.

The bank also updated its projections for 2025–2028:

* **2025:** \$7,500 (up 87% from \$4,000)

* **2026:** \$12,000

* **2027:** \$18,000

* **2028:** \$25,000

Key drivers: **heavy institutional buying, regulatory progress, and improved technical roadmaps**. Since early June, **Ethereum treasury businesses and spot ETFs** have acquired **3.8% of circulating supply**, twice the pace of comparable Bitcoin purchases. BitMine Immersion (BMNR) and SharpLink Gaming (SBET) have accumulated **2.3M ETH in the last 10 weeks**, with ETFs contributing about half.

Trump’s July approval of the **stablecoin-focused GENIUS Act** also fuels optimism. Standard Chartered estimates **stablecoins could reach a \$2T market cap by 2028**, accounting for 40% of blockchain fees.

Meanwhile, **Ethereum futures liquidations** reached **\$255.86M in 24 hours**, including \$62.12M longs and \$193.74M shorts (Coinglass data).

ETH has rallied past the **\$4,500 barrier** after breaking a **multi-year symmetrical wedge**, currently sitting less than **\$200 from its ATH of \$4,868**. A sustained breakout above this level could pave the way toward **\$7,500** in the coming months, based on the wedge projection.
