Retail sentiment around the token, however, dipped to ‘extremely bearish’ from ‘bearish’ over the past day amid ‘low’ levels of chatter.Standard Chartered now expects Ethereum’s price to hit $7,500 by year end, down from its initial forecast of $12,000. The target still predicts a potential upside of over 140%. “We lower our year-end ETH-USD forecasts for 2026 to 2028 to reflect broader weakness in digital assets,” the bank said. “However, we raise our longer-term ETH-USD forecasts.”<h2 class="st-heading-2">Ethereum’s Price To Hit $40,000 By 2030</h2>Under the revised projections, Standard Chartered now sees Ethereum at $15,000 in 2027, down from $18,000 and $22,000 in 2028, down from and $25,000. The bank maintained its 2029 target at $30,000 and expects ETH to reach $40,000 by the end of 2030.Bitcoin’s price forecasts were unchanged, with the bank projecting BTC at $150,000 in 2026, rising to $500,000 by 2030.<h2 class="st-heading-2">CLARITY Act Could Unlock Next Phase for DeFi</h2>The bank predicted that the potential passage of the CLARITY Act, which would establish a regulatory framework for digital assets, could be particularly supportive for Ethereum if it enables further development of decentralised finance.Standard Chartered expects the legislation, which has been delayed to the last week of January, combined with the resilience of U.S. equity markets, to push Bitcoin to a new all-time high in the first half of the year.

Ethereum Seen At $40,000 By 2030, Bitcoin To Hit New High In 2026: Standard Chartered

Standard Chartered’s Geoffery Kendrick said 2026 is slated to be “the year of Ethereum” even as the firm lowered its price targets on the leading altcoin.

Buterin said that the industry is still too reliant on tracking the U.S. dollar and lacks much in the way of resiliency to long-term macro risks. “Tracking USD is fine in the short term, but part of the vision of nation-state resilience should be independence even from that price ticker,” he wrote, noting that across a multi-decade horizon, dollar debasement could emerge as a material vulnerability.<figure class="image"><a class="st-link-external" href="https://x.com/VitalikButerin/status/2010253778365055363" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"><img src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Screenshot_2026_01_11_at_5_26_54_AM_png_5783b88461.webp" alt="Screenshot 2026-01-11 at 5.26.54 AM.png" width="598" height="1130"></a><figcaption>Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin on decentralized stablecoins. | Source: @<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/VitalikButerin">VitalikButerin</a>/x</figcaption></figure><a href="https://stocktwits.com/coins/ethereum">Ethereum (ETH)</a> was trading at $3,102.81, up 0.29% in the last 24 hours.

Without that, protocols are incentivized to achieve higher value extractions in order to protect themselves, something he described as “quite bad for users.” Buterin was dismissive of financialised governance systems, arguing they lack defensive asymmetry and inefficiently require high economic penalties in order for them to be trustworthy.On yield, he described trade-offs encountered by staking-based stablecoins, arguing that without structural changes, users are stuck on “a few percent APY suboptimal return rates.” He also stressed that the cutting of risk and inactivity penalties is an undervalued consideration when designing stablecoins, especially when involved funds are supposed to remain usable even in cases of sharp market drawdowns.The remarks also&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/cryptocurrency/fox-news-ads-oppose-defi-provisions-in-crypto-bill/cmU3Wv1R435">come as U.S. lawmakers</a> are getting ready to mark up the highly anticipated crypto market structure bill later this week.

<ul class="summary-bullets"><li>10x Research noted that crypto trading activity has slowed sharply into year-end, with spot volumes for Bitcoin and Ethereum near cycle lows.</li><li>It added that leverage remains in the system, becoming concentrated among fewer traders.</li><li>The firm warned that thin liquidity could amplify price moves when participation returns in January.</li></ul>Crypto markets are ending the year quietly, but that calm may be hiding growing stress under the surface, according to research firm 10x Research.In a note to clients on Sunday, the firm said trading activity across Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) has slowed to near the lowest levels of the current cycle. At the same time, different parts of the market are sending mixed signals, making prices appear stable even though the structure underneath is weakening.“ETF flows, stablecoin activity, and futures positioning are no longer aligned,” 10x Research wrote. “The market looks calm on the surface but increasingly fragile underneath.” Despite the muted backdrop, the firm said the odds are beginning to tilt slightly toward a bullish break out of Bitcoin’s January downtrend. However, it still warned that any move is likely to be sharp once it starts.<h2 class="st-heading-2">State Of Crypto Markets</h2><a href="https://stocktwits.com/coins/bitcoin">Bitcoin’s price</a> recovered to $90,000 on Monday morning, up nearly 3% in the last 24 hours. On Stocktwits, retail sentiment around the apex cryptocurrency remained in ‘bearish’ territory over the past day, up from ‘extremely bearish’ last week. Chatter stayed at ‘low’ levels.Meanwhile,&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/coins/ethereum">Ethereum’s price</a> climbed back above $3,000, rising 2.4% in the last 24 hours. Retail sentiment around the leading altcoin remained in ‘bearish’ territory over the past day as chatter dipped to ‘low’ from ‘normal’ levels.&nbsp;The overall cryptocurrency market capitalization rose back above $3 trillion after $80 billion was added in the past 12 hours.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Trading Activity Has Faded Across the Market</h2>According to data cited by 10x Research, overall crypto trading volumes are running about 30% below their long-term average. On Ethereum, gas fees have fallen into the fourth percentile historically, meaning they are lower than roughly 96% of past observations.In simple terms, fewer traders are active, fewer transactions are happening, and there is less capital moving through the system. That makes prices more sensitive, because it takes less buying or selling to push the market in either direction.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Derivatives Suggest Leverage Is Building Quietly</h2>Despite the lack of spot participation, leverage has not disappeared, 10x Research noted. It said that funding rates have drifted higher even as futures open interest has declined, suggesting risk is becoming concentrated among fewer traders.&nbsp;Bitcoin funding rates sit near the middle of their 12-month range, while Ethereum futures positioning remains elevated compared with recent price performance. According to 10x Research, this combination points to a thinner and less stable market structure.It added that implied volatility for both Bitcoin and Ethereum has dropped sharply into year-end, especially for near-term contracts. That suggests traders are selling volatility and reducing demand for short-term protection.The firm noted that, historically, similar periods of compressed volatility have often come just before markets break out of long periods of consolidation rather than continue drifting sideways.With year-end liquidity constraints set to ease and major macro events approaching in January, 10x Research warned that the current calm may not last. In past cycles, the return of liquidity after quiet periods has often brought higher volatility, not stability, the firm said.Read also:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/cryptocurrency/mstr-bmnr-stocks-slip-while-bitcoin-ethereum-post-weekend-gains/cL75LVVREDW">MSTR, BMNR, And Other Crypto-Linked Stocks Slip While Bitcoin, Ethereum Post Weekend Gains</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.
