Standard Chartered: Strategy to Sell Bitcoin Could Mark the Start of ETH Outperforming BTC
BlockBeats News, June 2 — Geoffrey Kendrick, Standard Chartered Bank’s Global Head of Digital Asset Research, said that Strategy’s recent sale of Bitcoin may signal the start of a new bullish cycle for Ethereum relative to Bitcoin. Although Strategy only sold 32 Bitcoins at the end of May, accounting for about 0.004% of its 843,700 Bitcoins holdings, the scale is “negligible,” but the market reaction to it is worth paying attention to. Kendrick believes, “Yesterday might have been the point at which ETH started to outperform BTC.”
This view follows Kendrick’s research report published last week. He compares Ethereum today to Amazon during the 2001 internet bubble burst, saying that although ETH’s recent price performance has been relatively weak, the core fundamentals of the Ethereum ecosystem continue to improve, including growth in stablecoins, the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA), and decentralized finance (DeFi).
Based on the above judgment, Kendrick maintains his long-term optimistic outlook, expecting the ETH price to reach $4,000 by the end of 2026 and rise to $40,000 by the end of 2030. He believes that as Ethereum’s importance in stablecoin settlement, asset tokenization, and on-chain financial activities continues to increase, its long-term value is expected to be continuously unlocked.
