Standard Chartered Forecasts Chainlink Token Price Rise to $200

Standard Chartered initiated research coverage of the Chainlink token on Monday, forecasting a price increase from approximately $8 to $200 by the end of 2030. The projection relies on the growth of tokenized real-world assets, which the bank expects to rise from $340 billion to $4 trillion by the end of 2028.

Standard Chartered analyst Geoff Kendrick argues that Chainlink is the only end-to-end platform capable of providing the trusted data, secure interoperability, and privacy-preserving compliance necessary for this expansion across decentralized and traditional finance. The bank noted Chainlink's existing partnerships with Swift, Mastercard, and JPMorgan as key strengths.

The valuation remains dependent on successful institutional adoption and monetization. The bank identified potential risks including technical setbacks, slower institutional tokenization initiatives, and competition from infrastructure providers such as Layer Zero, Wormhole, and Pyth Network.
