The following article is adapted from The Block’s newsletter, The Daily, which comes out on weekday afternoons.

I hope you had a great weekend, folks. Even tradfi now appears to be piling in on the bearish sentiment toward Ethereum as the second-largest cryptocurrency enters its "midlife crisis."

In today's newsletter, Standard Chartered cuts its 2025 ether price target by 60% to $4,000, South Korea's central bank rules out a bitcoin reserve, acting SEC Chair Mark Uyeda directs staff to reconsider a proposed crypto rule change for the second time this month and more.

Meanwhile, Solana futures debut today on the CME: Here's what you need to know.

Let's get started.

International bank Standard Chartered has slashed its 2025 ether price target by 60% from $10,000 to $4,000, citing factors like Base's growing market share.

The Bank of Korea has ruled out the idea of creating a bitcoin reserve, citing its high volatility.

Acting Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Mark Uyeda has directed staff to reconsider a proposed rule that would tighten cryptocurrency custody requirements for registered investment advisers.

Global crypto investment products saw a further $1.7 billion in net outflows last week, as their worst-ever negative streak hit $6.4 billion.

Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) bought another 130 BTC for $10.7 million at an average price of $82,981 per bitcoin last week, according to an 8-K filing with the SEC — far less than its recent purchases, which have run into the billions.
