Will Ethereum become the market focus in 2026? Standard Chartered Bank recently made a bold prediction—ETH is expected to surge to $7,500, and by 2030, it is optimistic about breaking through the $40,000 mark.

The logic behind this prediction is actually quite clear. The Ethereum ecosystem itself is continuously improving, with L2 solutions, staking mechanisms, DeFi innovations… all of these are building momentum for the ecosystem's launch. If this prediction comes true, what does it mean? It means that the MEME sector embedded on the Ethereum chain might have good opportunities.

MEME coins remain silent in the bear market and explode in the bull market. Those MEME projects with topicality and high community enthusiasm often attract attention when market sentiment is high. Especially coins that incorporate popular figures or concepts tend to be more easily accepted. During the Year of the Horse market, concept coins related to well-known entrepreneurs may become the market's focus.

Of course, any investment advice carries risks. But in the crypto market, early positioning in potential tracks often allows you to seize the opportunity. By the time consensus is fully formed, opportunities are often scarce.
