Ethereum is widely viewed as a core holding with serious upside when upcoming upgrades deliver. Standard Chartered analysts forecast a bullish 2026 target of $12,000 for ETH, assuming the Fusaka and Pectra upgrades enable faster, cheaper transactions.@DJ史珍香 @BarbieQueen_DXC
Vitalik Buterin’s own plan to boost Ethereum’s layer-1 throughput by 10 times by 2026 reflects this optimism. With Ethereum’s built-in fee-burning mechanism, these factors underlie the bull case for #ETH . #USBitcoinReservesSurge Although Layer-2 rollups that siphon off too much value and drive fees sharply lower could create struggles—a bearish scenario sees ETH trading around $2,500–$3,000.#CryptoRally
Ethereum’s growth is often compared to Bitcoin’s. For Bitcoin, JPMorgan’s team argues that the volatility gap with gold has narrowed enough that Bitcoin could rise by 60–70% to challenge gold’s $28.3 trillion valuation. That would put Bitcoin near $170,000 by 2026. Such a move is significant but amounts to roughly doubling from BTC’s recent $90K trading level.@DXC Foundation
