Standard Chartered has forecast that Chainlink’s LINK token could climb to $200 by the end of 2030, according to Cointelegraph. The projection implies a roughly 25-fold increase and is linked to expectations for a major expansion in tokenized real-world assets.
The call matters because Chainlink is described in the source as the crypto industry’s largest oracle services provider. If tokenized real-world assets continue to grow, the bank’s view is that demand for oracle infrastructure could rise alongside that market.
Real-world asset tokenization refers to bringing traditional assets onto blockchain-based systems in token form. The source frames this market as a potential driver of future demand for Chainlink’s services, rather than as a guaranteed price catalyst.
The reported forecast also highlights how major financial institutions are increasingly watching infrastructure tokens, not only cryptocurrencies used for payments or speculation. In this case, the focus is on whether oracle networks can become more important as blockchain-based finance connects with offchain assets.
Still, the $200 target is a projection, not a certainty. The outcome would depend on the growth of tokenized real-world assets and whether that growth translates into sustained demand for Chainlink’s oracle services.
