Ethereum could outperform Bitcoin by a wide margin over the next four years, according to a bullish forecast discussed by Geoff Kendrick, Global Head of Digital Assets Research at Standard Chartered, during a recent podcast appearance.
Kendrick’s base case places Bitcoin at $500,000 by 2030, which is described as roughly 7.5 times its current price of $66,400.
For Ethereum, the forecast implies a move from $2,034 to $40,000. That would represent about 20 times its current value.
On that basis, Kendrick’s figures suggest Ethereum holders could see nearly three times the relative return compared with Bitcoin investors, if the forecast holds.
One reason Kendrick cited for his outlook is that the financial sector has been adopting blockchain technology with Ethereum first.
In his view, large asset management firms and banks typically begin their blockchain efforts by developing products on Ethereum because of its reputation for safety and reliability.
He pointed to BlackRock as an example, saying it started creating blockchain products using Ethereum before moving to other blockchain networks.
Kendrick also highlighted Ethereum network activity as a potential driver of price. He noted that rising transaction fees on Ethereum-based applications can be viewed as a gauge of demand.
He further linked that demand to growth in stablecoins, decentralized finance, and tokenized real-world assets, arguing that increased usage could support higher token value.
The forecast was shared during an interview on the Milk Road podcast with host John Gillen. Standard Chartered has not publicly released a formal research note tied to these specific figures, but Kendrick’s comments drew attention across the crypto community following the appearance.
