The bull market signals for 2026 are becoming increasingly clear. Standard Chartered Bank recently expressed strong support for Ethereum, with an annual target price directly pointing to $7,500 — this momentum should not be underestimated. What’s behind this support? The improving regulatory environment combined with the explosion of the RWA track, both positive factors hitting simultaneously.

From the on-chain ecosystem perspective, Ethereum’s advantage in Meme coins is indeed obvious. Liquidity is sufficient, and the ecosystem is complete; other public chains still can’t catch up for now. The compatibility of the DeFi ecosystem is also a major plus. Because of this, projects built on Ethereum have gained a strong consensus foundation.

In this cycle, choosing the right ecosystem track is more important than blindly following the trend. Projects with strong community engagement, ecosystem support, and technical compatibility are the ones worth paying attention to.

$7,500? Standard Chartered is really boasting this time, but I like it. --- RWA outbreak and regulatory improvement sound good, but how will it actually be implemented? --- Is the meme coin ecosystem complete? Why am I still losing money haha. --- Choosing the right track is more important than following the trend, that's true, but who can predict accurately? --- ETH ecosystem is indeed strong, but don’t forget it was said the same in the previous two cycles. --- Sufficient liquidity? Then why are my small-cap coins still easily dumped? --- Talking about 2026 now, let’s wait and see when the time comes. --- SOL is also making efforts, don’t just focus on ETH. --- Strong technical compatibility is good, but what about user retention? --- Another wave of information gap harvesting, haha.

7500 dollars? Is Standard Chartered being serious this time or just hyping it up? Has RWA really taken off? It still feels like just a concept stage. The regulatory improvement depends on how Trump’s policies are actually implemented. Is it worth going all-in just because Meme coins have strong liquidity? That logic is a bit off. A complete ecosystem does not necessarily mean it will make money. Wake up, everyone. Why does SOL seem to be marginalized again in this cycle... Instead of focusing on target prices, it’s better to see who is actually building things within the ecosystem. Strong DeFi compatibility is a fact, but are users really using it? It’s too early to talk about 2026 now; let’s see how things develop by the end of the year. Why is XRP still in the mix? The compliance trial isn’t over yet. The biggest risk in this cycle is everyone betting on the same track. A strong consensus foundation does not necessarily mean the price will go up. Don’t confuse the two. I’ve looked at Standard Chartered’s report, and it feels like some data support is lacking.

7500? Is Standard Chartered just hyping again haha --- RWA is coming up and regulations are loosening. Is this real this time or not? --- That's quite right, the liquidity of meme coins is indeed far worse compared to other chains --- A good ecosystem is great, but I'm just worried about another round of rug pulls... --- Alright, choosing a track is indeed more reliable than blindly going all-in --- I still believe in the regulatory shift; the bull market should be coming soon --- Can we still chase ETH at this position, friends? Feels a bit high --- DeFi compatibility is indeed an overwhelming advantage, other chains can't learn this --- So what are you all buying? Feels like there aren't many good projects --- Here we go again? I've heard "clear signals" way too many times in 2024

$7,500? Standard Chartered really dares to say that, I like it.

ngl the RWA alchemy is brewing something dark... liquidity pools don't lie, and eth's grip on this cycle feels almost... ceremonial? 7500 seems too clean, too obvious—where's the transmutation happening beneath the surface? 🔮
