Standard Chartered sees 2026 for Ethereum

Geoffrey Kendrick of Standard Chartered described 2026 as the year of Ethereum, reaffirming his view.

Jacquelyn Melinek reported Kendrick's comments, highlighting his emphasis on the significance of real-world activities moving onchain and his belief that much of this should happen within the Ethereum ecosystem.

Earlier, Melinek reported that Visa launched USDC-based global payouts while Mastercard partnered with BVNK for fiat and stablecoin integration, marking further institutional activity in the digital asset space (link). She also noted that the number of company stock opt-outs from OKXICE's planned tokenization effort increased to 22 from 16 (link). These developments highlight ongoing experiments and caution around real-world asset integration on blockchain platforms.
