Odaily Planet Daily reports that Standard Chartered Bank has lowered its medium-term price forecast for Ethereum, reducing its year-end 2026 price prediction from $12,000 to $7,500, and its year-end 2028 price prediction from $25,000 to $22,000. Geoffrey Kendrick, Global Head of Digital Asset Research, stated that Bitcoin's continued dominance in the space and its weaker-than-expected performance have diminished the outlook for all digital assets against the US dollar. The bank still expects Ethereum to exceed $40,000 by 2030, raising its long-term target from $30,000. (Cointele)

According to Bubblemaps, the Solana on-chain whale wallet (8Ldjm), which once drove the price of WhiteWhale from $60,000 to $2.5 million, suddenly resurfaced after 30 days of inactivity, selling approximately $1 million worth of WhiteWhale within 15 minutes, causing the price to plummet by 20%. This address was the largest buyer before the CTO's purchase and was once the second-largest holder, currently still holding 2.5% of the total supply. The WhiteWhale team stated that the wallet was not an insider and that they attempted to propose an OTC protocol to alleviate the selling pressure, but were rejected.
