Standard Chartered Sets $200 Chainlink Target for 2030, Implying 27-Fold Upside

According to Arzdigital, Standard Chartered set a $200 price target for the Chainlink (LINK) cryptocurrency by 2030 in a report published by Tuesday, August 11, 2026 (20 Mordad 1405), implying nearly 27-fold upside from current levels. The bank forecasts Chainlink could reach $13 by the end of this calendar year and $41 by 2027, the report said. Geoff Kendrick, Standard Chartered's head of digital assets research, cited the growth of tokenized real-world assets (RWA), projected to rise from $340 billion currently to $4 trillion by the end of 2028, as the main driver, saying wider use of Chainlink's CCIP protocol for moving tokenized assets, in partnership with firms including JPMorgan, Mastercard and Swift, could lift the network's revenue by up to 25-fold. Chainlink currently secures more than $110 billion in value locked and holds a 70 percent share of the DeFi oracle market, according to the report. Standard Chartered has previously set similar targets for Uniswap ($100) and Aave ($3,500).
