Ether Price Forecast to Soar to $8,000 by 2026, With Long-Term Potential Over $35,000: Standard Chartered

Ether price could reach $8,000 by end of 2026 (from $1,600 currently) per Standard Chartered Bank.

Ethereum currently used for NFTs and DeFi, but gaming and tokenization expected to drive more demand.

Proof of concept examples should bring real industries on-chain to benefit from Ethereum.

Bitcoin halving in 2024 expected to lift ether price, potentially to $4,000 by end of 2023.

$8,000 considered a stepping stone to bank's long-term valuation of $26,000-$35,000.
