Standard Chartered Forecasts SKY Rising Fivefold to $0.325 by 2028
Standard Chartered initiated coverage of Sky's SKY token, setting a 2028 price target of $0.325, a fivefold increase from its current $0.065. The bank expects value to token holders to rise due to USDS adoption and borrowing expansion. Sky, a DeFi platform, is the largest issuer of yield-bearing stablecoins and ranks third overall. The forecast suggests SKY will outperform Bitcoin and keep pace with Ether by 2028, with Ether and Bitcoin targets set at $18,000 and $300,000 respectively.
