Standard Chartered Bank says Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH)-focused corporate treasuries have already purchased 1% of all ETH in just two months and could grow to own as much as 10% of the total supply.
What Happened: The projection reflects a shift in digital asset allocation strategy among public companies, with Ethereum gaining preference over Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) due to yield-generating capabilities and regulatory arbitrage advantages.
According to a July 29 research note by Standard Chartered’s Digital Assets division, the volume of ETH bought by corporate treasury companies since early June has matched the strongest recorded flows into ETH exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
These ETH treasury companies are outpacing their Bitcoin-focused counterparts, both in pace and potential.
The report argues that ETH treasuries offer structural benefits over BTC ones: they can participate in staking, access decentralized finance (DeFi) yields, and benefit from inefficiencies in jurisdictional regulations, unlike U.S.-based Ethereum ETFs that are restricted from staking.
These advantages, Standard Chartered suggests, make ETH corporate treasuries more compelling long-term investment vehicles.
