Ethereum Treasury Companies Could Gobble Up 10% of All ETH—Standard Chartered Drops Bombshell Prediction
Wall Street's quiet accumulation of Ethereum just got louder. According to Standard Chartered, treasury departments at major corporations could soon own a staggering 10% of all ETH in circulation.
Why? Because yield-hungry CFOs finally realized crypto beats 0.5% T-bills.
The math is simple: With ETH's deflationary burn and staking rewards, even risk-averse treasuries can't ignore 5-7% returns. Especially when the alternative is watching cash reserves rot in 'high-yield' savings accounts paying less than inflation.
Of course, this assumes executives can navigate gas fees without having an aneurysm—but hey, that's what overpaid consultants are for.
One cynical take? This institutional FOMO smells suspiciously like the 2021 Bitcoin ETF rush. Back then, everyone wanted exposure without the hassle of self-custody. Now they want yield without the hassle of, well, traditional finance.
Either way, the message is clear: Ethereum isn't just for degens anymore. The suits are coming—and they're bringing balance sheets.
