Waiting for Bitcoin to Crash Again? You May Be Too Late

Geoffrey Kendrick from Standard Chartered isn't backing off his $500K Bitcoin target — and he admits he got the four-year cycle wrong this time around. We dig into why institutional money could finally tame Bitcoin's wild swings, whether $100K is realistic by year-end, and why the bottom might hit before the Q4 low everyone's expecting. Plus: how sentiment shifted inside a 170-year-old bank, where Ethereum goes from here, and why Kendrick thinks Uniswap and Aave are flying under the radar as trillions in real-world assets move onchain. Watch the full interview for Kendrick's take on Bitcoin, Ethereum, tokenization, and the next phase of institutional crypto adoption.
