Chainlink (LINK)<\/a> rose about 5% over the past 24 hours to $8.64 on August 11, 2026, after a major British multinational bank, Standard Chartered, initiated coverage of the token with a $200 price target for the end of 2030, implying ~23x upside.<\/p>\n

The bank\u2019s global head of digital assets research, Geoff Kendrick, argued that Chainlink is positioned as critical infrastructure for the tokenization of real-world assets<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Why is Standard Chartered Bullish on the Chainlink Price Target?<\/p>\n

Standard Chartered\u2019s $200 Chainlink price target is tied to the bank\u2019s forecast for expanding onchain financial activity.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The bank expects tokenized assets to grow from roughly $340 billion to $4 trillion by the end of 2028. It also forecasts tokenized and crypto-native assets deployed in DeFi<\/a> could reach $2.7 trillion by 2030, 37 times more than the current value.<\/p>\n

The bank argues that tokenized funds, bonds and stablecoins require external data, interoperability and compliance infrastructure. Standard Chartered therefore views Chainlink as a potential core infrastructure provider for tokenized finance.<\/p>\n

Chainlink is the dominant oracle network in DeFi, powering roughly 70% of the global DeFi market and more than 80% of DeFi activity on Ethereum<\/a>. Over the past 7 years it secured more than $32 trillion in transaction value.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Now Chainlink is beyond blockchain<\/a> oracles into interoperability, privacy, and TradFi, including a tokenization project with Fidelity covering $6.9 billion.<\/p>\n

Standard Chartered estimates that Chainlink\u2019s fee revenue could grow about 25-fold by 2030. The bank\u2019s model assumes LINK\u2019s value rises roughly in line with that growth, leading to a price target of $200.<\/p>\n

How is LINK Performing?<\/p>\n

LINK is up 8.3% over the past month but remains more than 39% below its 2026 high of $14.36, according to CoinGecko\u2019s data<\/a>. The token is roughly 24% above its year-to-date low near $7, which it tested twice in June.<\/p>\n

LINK also remains about 83% below its $52.70 all-time high reached in May 2021. The current rally therefore leaves the token well below its previous peak despite the new institutional forecast.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"Source: TradingViewWhy This Matters<\/p>\n

Standard Chartered\u2019s $200 target from a major global bank signals institutional conviction that Chainlink\u2019s oracle and interoperability rails are essential for the projected $4T tokenization wave by 2028. This elevates LINK from to critical TradFi infrastructure, potentially accelerating adoption and fee growth that the bank models by 2030.<\/p>\n
