Standard Chartered Bank this past half-year has been like a hard-working signals-and-posts influencer: it has been calling out Uniswap, Aave, and Morpho in turn, and yesterday it also set a target of $ENA —namely 2 USD in February 2028.
The logic behind investment banks publishing research reports and KOLs posting on X is actually the same: attention and positioning come first.
What’s worth thinking about isn’t whether the target price is accurate, but why traditional institutions are starting to systematically write “stories” for DeFi blue chips.
What they’re likely eyeing isn’t the coin price, but the cash flows and license value that are taking shape behind these protocols.
Don’t take the numbers in the research report too seriously—use the direction as a reference.
