Avalanche to Outpace Both Bitcoin and Ethereum by End of 2029, Standard Chartered Predicts

In a surprise move, Standard Chartered has initiated coverage on Avalanche, predicting that the altcoin will outpace both Bitcoin and Ethereum by the end of 2029. The London-based bank's analysts believe that Avalanche's unique features and scalability will propel it to the top of the cryptocurrency market.

According to Standard Chartered's research note, Avalanche's proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus mechanism, combined with its decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem, will drive adoption and growth. The bank's analysts predict that Avalanche's market capitalization will surpass that of both Bitcoin and Ethereum by the end of 2029, making it the largest cryptocurrency by market value.

"We believe that Avalanche's unique value proposition, including its fast and low-cost transactions, will drive adoption and growth," said the Standard Chartered analysts in the research note. "The DeFi ecosystem is a key driver of growth for Avalanche, and we expect this trend to continue."

Avalanche's market capitalization currently stands at around $15 billion, a fraction of Bitcoin's $2 trillion market capitalization. However, Standard Chartered's analysts believe that Avalanche's growth rate will outstrip that of both Bitcoin and Ethereum, driven by the increasing adoption of DeFi and the need for faster and more cost-effective transactions.

The prediction has sent shockwaves through the cryptocurrency market, with many analysts and investors taking notice. While some have questioned the accuracy of the prediction, others see the potential for Avalanche to disrupt the status quo in the cryptocurrency market.

As the cryptocurrency market continues to evolve, the prediction from Standard Chartered has sparked a new wave of interest in Avalanche. With its unique features and scalability, the altcoin is poised to make a significant impact in the years to come.
