Standard Chartered analyst: Buying ETH and Bitmine before the end of this week may be a good choice.

Standard Chartered analyst Geoff Kendrick suggests that buying ETH and Bitmine before the end of this week could be a good option. Increased Ethereum trading activity and Tom Lee's continued buying are positive signs for the cryptocurrency, which has recently fallen sharply from its 2026 highs. Ethereum's base network activity has surged in recent weeks, with transaction volume reaching all-time highs, primarily due to capacity increases from the December Fusaka upgrade. Furthermore, the macroeconomic environment has also played a positive role, with the rising likelihood of Rick Rieder, BlackRock's head of fixed income, becoming the next Federal Reserve chairman, all of which are favorable for risk assets.
