DeFi & Yields ·
Standard Chartered Bank has initiated research coverage on Sky, framing the protocol as DeFi's federal bank and issuing a price target of $0.325 for the SKY token by the end of 2028—implying roughly a fivefold gain from current levels. The characterization reflects the bank's view of Sky's role in decentralized finance infrastructure and governance.
The coverage marks entry into the token by a major traditional financial institution, signaling institutional appetite for exposure to the protocol. The specific price target and timeframe suggest a structured equity-research-style assessment rather than speculative commentary.
Details on Standard Chartered's underlying assumptions, the current SKY price baseline used for the 5x calculation, and the full scope of the bank's analysis remain undisclosed.
