Ethereum Emerges as Digital Treasury Champion, Outshining Bitcoin and Solana: StanChart Report

Corporate treasuries are flipping the script—and their allocations.

Ethereum's Enterprise Edge

StanChart's latest analysis reveals Ethereum is pulling ahead in corporate digital asset strategies. Not just a store of value, ETH offers utility—smart contracts, staking yields, and an ecosystem that actually does something besides sit there.

Bitcoin's Store-of-Value Myth?

While Bitcoin dominates headlines, it's becoming the digital gold for boomers—slow, expensive, and functionally stagnant. Solana? Fast but fragile—corporate treasurers hate explaining downtime to shareholders.

The Real Winner

Ethereum’s blend of security, decentralization, and programmability makes it the only adult in the room. Treasuries want assets that earn while they sleep—not just collect digital dust. Because nothing says 'modern treasury' like outperforming your CFO’s 0.1% yield chase with legacy banks.
