Standard Chartered, one of the world’s leading banks, has recently been making headlines for its focus on altcoins in addition to Bitcoin and Ethereum.
At this point, the bank, which has published analyses for many altcoins such as $AAVE and Uniswap, has drawn attention to four more altcoins.
Remarkable Prediction for Four Altcoins!
Geoffrey Kendrick, Head of Digital Assets Research at Standard Chartered, pointed to altcoins such as Uniswap ($UNI), Aave ($AAVE), Morpho ($MORPHO), and Arbitrum ($ARB).
Speaking to Milk Road Crypto, Geoffrey Kendrick stated that he believes a new era will begin in the crypto market as traditional finance moves onto blockchain networks.
Kendrick stated that the tokenization trend is not a temporary phenomenon and has now become permanent, adding that four altcoins in particular could significantly benefit from this transformation: $UNI, $MORPHO, $AAVE, and $ARB.
According to Kendrick’s assessment, institutional investors moving their real-world assets onto the blockchain could accelerate the growth of the DeFi ecosystem.
At this point, the bank had previously predicted that the total value of tokenized assets on-chain could reach $4 trillion by the end of 2028. Of this, $2 trillion is expected to come from stablecoins and $2 trillion from real-world assets.
Uniswap Has a $100 Target!
The bank had previously stated a $100 target for $UNI in its analyses. However, Kendrick believes that even the previously announced $100 target for Uniswap by 2030 may be too low. According to the analyst, the platform’s strong liquidity network and the redirection of transaction fees to the token buyback and burning mechanism could support $UNI’s appreciation in value.
Aave and Morpho Take Center Stage!
Kendrick considers Aave one of the leaders in the on-chain banking system and projects a target of $3,500 for $AAVE by the end of 2030. For Morpho, he set a target of $60. According to the analyst, unlike Aave, Morpho has growth potential, particularly in the on-chain asset management sector.
Arbitrum May Be the Biggest Bet!
Among the four projects, one of Kendrick’s most ambitious predictions came for Arbitrum. The analyst believes $ARB could reach $10 by 2030. He bases this prediction on Robinhood Chain’s use of Arbitrum technology and the revenue it generates for Arbitrum.

$GRVT Crypto Market Rebounds After Macro-Driven Dip
The cryptocurrency market ended a volatile week nearly flat, recovering from a Sept. 29 slump that erased $50 billion in value before a late-week rally driven by “Uptober” sentiment. The initial downturn, which briefly knocked aggregate market capitalization down to $2.95 trillion, coincided with surging oil prices and rising Treasury yields.
Bitcoin led the broader market’s wild swings, closing September up 7% and narrowing its year-to-date losses to 4%. After dipping below $83,000 on Monday, the asset held above that support level until Wednesday, when a brief spike to $85,300 quickly surrendered its gains.
The start of October offered a glimpse into how bitcoin might perform in a month known historically for strong returns. Market data showed bitcoin surging to $87,217 on Oct. 2, matching levels not seen since Sept. 23. However, the top cryptocurrency quickly surrendered those gains, sliding to $84,250, just below its weekly open of $84,720. A weekend rebound pushed bitcoin’s price up over $1,200 to close at $85,500, securing a modest weekly gain of nearly 1% and carrying its market cap just past $1.7 trillion.
Major Altcoins Trade Sideways as Ether Gains 0.4%
Bitcoin’s range-bound price action extended across high-cap altcoins, most of which turned in even flatter weekly performances. Ether ($ETH) tracked bitcoin almost step-for-step, bottoming on Sept. 28 before rallying to a Thursday high of $2,754. A swift sell-off followed, but $ETH steadily clawed its way back to $2,700. By Sunday afternoon (3:45 p.m. EST), $ETH was trading just over $2,700, up 0.4% for the week.
BNB, meanwhile, was one of a handful of high-cap altcoins with weekly gains in excess of 1%, rising from $778 to $789. Quant (QUANT) and hedera (HBAR) were among the few notable altcoins with impressive gains, jumping 39% and 9%, respectively.
Meanwhile, privacy coin zcash (ZEC), one of the best-performing high-cap altcoins in September, closed the week down 17% after plunging from just over $1,600 to $1,332 on Sunday. Other altcoins that logged significant losses included rain (RAIN), down approximately 9%; near (NEAR), down 8.6%; and uniswap (UNI), down 7.3%. Bitcoin cash ($BCH), which spiked weeks ago following news of a CME $BCH futures announcement, closed down 5.2%.
The mixed altcoin price action dragged their aggregate market cap down from $1.3 trillion at the start of the week to $1.285 trillion by Sunday.

$YGG CEX Flow Check: What the 24-Hour Lists Show
Over the past 24 hours, reported CEX net inflows were led by MDT at $103,786,729. On the outflow side, LINK, AXS and FET led a much smaller list.
👀 Inflow list to watch
- MDT: $103,786,729
- AAVE: $823,648
- WLD: $649,816
- UNI: $608,157
- CRV: $512,632
- 1INCH: $263,405
- PAXG: $212,517
- TLM: $101,081
- ENS: $96,181
- GTC: $90,660
MDT is about 97% of the $107.1 million listed inflow total. If you are screening for exchange arrivals, that single print outweighs AAVE, WLD, UNI, CRV, 1INCH, PAXG, TLM, ENS and GTC combined.
📤 Outflow list to watch
- LINK: $1,346,822
- AXS: $1,121,517
- FET: $802,036
- PEPE: $640,442
- SHIB: $281,362
- TRB: $277,171
- JASMY: $232,992
- STG: $216,919
- ALICE: $190,315
- AUDIO: $152,953
Listed outflows add up to about $5.3 million. LINK, AXS, FET and PEPE are the clearest names if you are tracking tokens leaving exchanges in this window. SHIB, TRB, JASMY, STG, ALICE and AUDIO sit lower, each under $300,000.
🧭 Practical takeaway
Use this as a flow screen, not a trade signal. Net inflow means more of the token moved onto exchanges. Net outflow means more moved off. Coverage is the reported top 10 in each direction only, so a missing name is not a zero-flow reading.
