Standard Chartered sets a 2030 price target for LINK at $200, citing a 12-fold surge in tokenized assets to $4 trillion by 2028.
Standard Chartered has set a 2030 price target of $200 for Chainlink’s LINK token, representing a 25-fold increase from its current $8 level. The bank forecasts staged gains, with LINK reaching $13 by year-end, followed by $41, $82, and $133 in subsequent years. Bitcoin and Ethereum are projected at $500,000 and $40,000, respectively, by 2030.
The bank expects tokenized assets on-chain to grow from $340 billion to $4 trillion by 2028, while decentralized finance (DeFi) assets could expand 37-fold to $2.7 trillion by 2030. Chainlink’s role in delivering data and facilitating cross-chain asset transfers is seen as a key driver, with fees projected to rise 25 times over the period.
Chainlink currently secures over $110 billion in value, dominating 70% of oracle-dependent DeFi globally. Major institutions, including Swift, DTCC, and JP Morgan, use its services, with growing demand from tokenized funds and bonds for data verification.
