Standard Chartered Sees Bitcoin (BTC) Sliding to $50,000, Ether (ETH) to $1,400 Before Recovery
Standard Chartered warns bitcoin could drop nearly 26% to $50,000 due to ETF outflows and macroeconomic pressures impacting crypto markets.
- On Thursday, Standard Chartered cut its crypto forecasts, lowering bitcoin's year-end 2026 target to $100,000 and warning it could fall to about $50,000 in the coming months.
- ETF investors, many bought near $90,000 and now face losses of roughly 25%, while bitcoin ETF holdings have declined by nearly 100,000 BTC from their October 2025 peak.
- Market moves confirm stress: bitcoin traded near US$67,900 at publication, dropped almost 23% since the start of the year, and the broader crypto market has shed nearly US$2 trillion.
- Wall Street analysts have cut ratings and price targets, with multiple downgrades in February, as Coinbase shares fell for a third day to US$140, highlighting pressure on firms.
- Standard Chartered expects a near-term capitulation followed by recovery later this year, while retaining end-2030 targets of $500,000 for bitcoin and $40,000 for ether.
