Ether Treasury Holdings Could Hit 10% Of Supply, Says Standard Chartered

Corporate adoption of Ether for treasury holdings is accelerating, with companies now owning around 1% of the total ETH supply, according to a new report from Standard Chartered.

The bank forecasts that figure could grow tenfold, reaching 10% of the supply over time as institutional interest deepens. The surge is comparable to record inflows into spot Ether ETFs.

Companies such as BitMine Immersion Technologies and SharpLink Gaming are leading the trend by deploying Ether treasury strategies that include staking to generate passive yield. Standard Chartered attributes Ether’s recent outperformance against Bitcoin—in part—to this growing corporate and ETF demand. The ETH/BTC ratio has climbed from 0.018 in April to 0.032 in July.

Unlike Bitcoin, Ether offers staking rewards (currently around 3%) and access to DeFi strategies, which may give ETH a long-term structural advantage in digital asset treasury allocations, the bank’s head of digital assets research Geoff Kendrick noted.
