Standard Chartered Sets $200 Chainlink Target for 2030, Implying 27-Fold Upside
Aug 11, 2026
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).

Bank of Russia Proposes Allowing Bitcoin and Ethereum Trading on Licensed Domestic Exchanges
According to Bourse News, Russia's central bank published a draft regulation on Tuesday, August 11, 2026 (20 Mordad 1405) that would allow trading of Bitcoin, Ethereum and Tether on the country's official exchanges, following President Vladimir Putin's signing of a law formally legalizing crypto trading in Russia. Under the proposed framework, retail investors (about 98 percent of Russia's crypto market participants) would need to pass a qualifying test before trading starting September 1, and their annual purchase limit through licensed intermediaries would be capped at 300,000 rubles (about $3,690), while qualified investors could trade without that limit. The central bank said it chose the three assets because each has at least five years of price history on foreign trading platforms, high liquidity and significant market value. Under the framework, digital assets could be used to settle cross border transactions but would remain banned as a domestic means of payment. The public comment period runs through August 24, with the rules set to take effect September 1.

Ravencoin Price Drops 19 Percent After Security Flaw Discovery Splits the Network
According to Arzdigital, the Ravencoin project said by Tuesday, August 11, 2026 (20 Mordad 1405), that it had identified a critical vulnerability in its network consensus mechanism, one that had been exploited since August 7, 2026 (16 Mordad) and allowed some vulnerable nodes to accept invalid blocks as valid. The first invalid block identified was recorded at block height 4,487,776. An investigation by mining pool 2Miners found the flaw stemmed from improper validation of the block-height field in the KAWPOW algorithm, which allowed invalid blocks to be produced more cheaply than normal mining. News of the flaw triggered heavy selling pressure on Ravencoin, with its price falling about 19.1 percent to $0.00288 and its market value dropping to about $47.3 million. Developers warned that major pools including 2Miners and RavenMiner are mining a recovery chain, and that if this chain becomes dominant, a deep reorganization could invalidate transactions from the past three days; exchanges Upbit and Bitget have suspended deposits and withdrawals of the coin as a result.
