Standard Chartered Reaffirms $500K Bitcoin and $100 Uniswap Targets

Key Facts

1Standard Chartered reaffirmed its bullish crypto targets, projecting Bitcoin at $500,000 and Ethereum at $40,000.

2The bank unexpectedly forecasted Uniswap (UNI) to reach a price target of $100.

As digital assets gain further institutional traction, Standard Chartered has reaffirmed its highly bullish price targets, projecting Bitcoin to reach $500,000 and Ethereum to hit $40,000. According to reports, the bank is maintaining its aggressive long-term stance on the sector, identifying specific milestones for retail and institutional investors. Notably, the bank also issued an unexpected price target of $100 for Uniswap (UNI).

These projections place Standard Chartered at the forefront of crypto optimism compared to peers; for instance, Bernstein recently raised its Bitcoin target to $200,000 by late 2025, making the $500,000 call a significant outlier in the banking sector. The $100 target for UNI suggests a massive expansion in decentralized finance (DeFi) adoption. Per market data, these forecasts align with a broader trend of major financial institutions integrating digital asset analysis into their core strategies.

Monitoring the bank's equity, Standard Chartered (2888.HK) stood at 208.20 HKD at close June 16, 2026. Investors should watch for upcoming macroeconomic catalysts, such as the recent US CPI data which showed a 0.2% monthly increase, as these inflation metrics often dictate the momentum for non-yielding assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum.
