Standard Chartered just upped the ante on their ETH price target. The major financial institution now forecasts Ethereum hitting $30,000 by 2029—a pretty bold call that's turning heads across the market. It's the kind of institutional confidence that gets traders thinking about longer-term positioning in ETH. Whether it's based on adoption curves, network expansion, or pure technical models, having a heavyweight traditional finance player like Standard Chartered throw down such a bullish number definitely adds another layer to the ETH narrative heading into the next few years.

A target of 30k is just for reference; mainly, it's about whether ETH can maintain its fundamentals over the next two years.

30k? How dare Standard Chartered do this? Should I believe it or not? 2029 is so far away. Let's just live until then and see.

Standard Chartered is playing this move well; the $30k target figure is indeed eye-catching. --- Is traditional finance really starting to pick Ethereum? Is this the rhythm of a comeback? --- $30k sounds crazy, but upon reflection, it's not too bad; after all, such targets are usually overestimated. --- Standard Chartered still carries weight; institutional backing and bullish views on Ethereum have indeed changed the narrative. --- Huh? Only $30k in 2029? I thought they would be more aggressive. --- Now there's a reason to keep stacking Ethereum; big banks' endorsements are just different. --- Don't put too much trust in this number; just take it as a reference, as long-term optimism is what matters. --- Standard Chartered's predictions have always been conservative; the real target might be even more ambitious. --- No wonder they are a traditional major bank, understanding the power of narrative creation; now the retail investors have more dreams. --- Wait, what model is this prediction based on? I didn't see any specific logic.

Standard Chartered calls for $30,000, and I just want to laugh... This set of traditional financial rhetoric is too familiar to us.
