The post Standard Chartered Reaffirms $100,000 Bitcoin Price Target appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin News Standard Chartered has reaffirmed a year-end 2026 price target of $100,000 for Bitcoin (BTC), holding to a bullish stance even as the asset trades well below that mark. In a note to investors, the bank’s global head of digital assets research, Geoffrey Kendrick, argued that recent weakness reflects a communication problem rather than any structural deterioration in the market. The forecast lands at a moment of visible caution across Bitcoin markets, with some analysts warning of a slide beneath $60,000. Standard Chartered’s view is that the pullback is a buying opportunity, not the start of a deeper unwind, and that Bitcoin can reclaim six figures. At the center of the call is a blunt assessment: the bank describes Bitcoin as a “screaming buy” around the $64,000 level where it currently changes hands. Kendrick’s team contends that market fear tied to recent selling by S

The post 5 Altcoins Stand to Gain From Tokenized Stocks, Grayscale Says appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Grayscale has named five blockchains best positioned to gain as tokenized stocks push deeper into traditional finance. The asset manager pointed to Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Avalanche (AVAX), BNB Chain, and Canton Network. A new research note frames tokenized equities as one of the clearest signs of blockchain entering mainstream markets. Grayscale sees three models driving that shift, and each rewards a different set of networks. Three Models Moving Tokenized Stocks Onchain Grayscale head of research Zach Pandl laid out the three phases in the note. The first is the wrapper model, where a token represents shares held inside a special purpose vehicle. That structure holds more than 70% of tokenized stock value today. These wrapped tokens give holders price exposure rather than direct ownership. They appeal to retail traders because they fit decentralized finance and trade ar

The post HYPE ETF Gains Spotlight as Bitwise Adds Hyperliquid to BITW appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Takeaways: HYPE ETF exposure grew after Bitwise added Hyperliquid. DOT and AVAX exited the Bitwise index fund. Whale short positioning raised near-term downside risk. Bitwise added Hyperliquid (HYPE) to its Bitwise 10 Crypto Index ETF after the token outperformed most large-cap crypto assets in 2026. The rebalance added Hyperliquid crypto to a major index product, while Polkadot and Avalanche lost their positions.
