The market is gripped by FOMO (fear of missing out), with bullish sentiment accelerating. Chris Burniske, former head of crypto at Ark Invest and now a partner at Placeholder VC, predicts Ethereum will peak in October, with prices reaching between $6,900 and $8,000.
Meanwhile, Standard Chartered Bank has revised its year-end ETH price target from $4,000 to $7,500, citing three key drivers:
- Expansion of the Ethereum ecosystem, including Layer 2 scaling and DeFi growth
- Rising institutional adoption, with ETFs and treasury purchases accelerating
- On-chain financialization, as stablecoins and tokenized assets increasingly rely on Ethereum infrastructure
