Standard Chartered initiates coverage of Chainlink, projecting the token (LINK) could reach $200 by the end of 2030. The bank links its outlook to expected expansion in tokenization—especially the infrastructure needed to support tokenized assets on blockchains.
Across outlets, the argument centers on Chainlink’s role as the technology that helps connect off-chain data and real-world assets to on-chain systems. Decrypt and The Block both describe Standard Chartered’s broader 2030 framework for decentralized finance (DeFi), including targets for other major DeFi projects such as Uniswap, Aave, and Morpho, alongside Chainlink.
While the specific reported price target is consistent across sources, the emphasis differs: The Block highlights the concept of “owning the rails” for tokenized finance, whereas Decrypt frames the forecast as part of a wider DeFi growth assumption (described as relying on a single large DeFi growth multiple). Yahoo Finance similarly reports on the bank’s $200-by-2030 view tied to tokenization expectations.
