- Standard Chartered expects LINK to reach $200 by the end of 2030.
- The bank forecasts Chainlink fees could rise about 25 times by 2030.
- CCIP volume reached $4.9 billion in Q2, up 353% year over year.
Standard Chartered has issued a new Chainlink price prediction that places LINK at $200 by the end of 2030. The bank expects tokenization and DeFi growth to increase demand for Chainlink services. LINK traded near $8.30 when the report appeared, leaving the forecast roughly 25 times above that level. The bank also expects LINK to reach $13 by the end of 2026.
Chainlink Price Prediction Rests on Tokenization Growth
Standard Chartered expects tokenized assets on public blockchains to reach $4 trillion by the end of 2028. That figure compares with about $340 billion today. The bank also sees DeFi assets reaching $2.7 trillion by 2030.
The Chainlink price prediction assumes that this growth will raise demand for oracle data and cross-chain services. Tokenized funds need net asset values, while bonds require rates and payment schedules. Stablecoins also need reserve attestations.
Chainlink already secures more than $110 billion in value, according to the bank. That represents about 70% of oracle-dependent DeFi value globally. The figure rises above 80% on Ethereum.
Chainlink Forecast Also Leans on CCIP and Fee Growth
Standard Chartered’s digital assets research head, Geoffrey Kendrick, expects LINK fees to rise about 25 times by 2030. The Chainlink price prediction broadly links that fee growth with the projected token increase. Oracle services currently generate most fees, while CCIP adds another growth channel.
CCIP volume reached $4.9 billion during the second quarter, up 353% from a year earlier. More than $7 billion in token value also moved to CCIP after an April bridge exploit.
The Chainlink price prediction also draws support from institutional use. Standard Chartered named Swift, DTCC, Euroclear, JPMorgan, Mastercard, UBS, Fidelity, and S&P Global among users.
However, the bank listed several risks to the LINK price target. Slower tokenization could reduce expected demand. Specialist competitors could also win business in individual product areas. Technical or configuration failures could weaken confidence in Chainlink infrastructure.
Standard Chartered maps LINK at $41 in 2027, $82 in 2028, and $133 in 2029. Its Chainlink price prediction reaches $200 in 2030.
