Standard Chartered Sets Chainlink Price Target at $200 by 2030

Chainlink's price surged about 5% over the past 24 hours to $8.64 on August 11, 2026, after Standard Chartered initiated coverage of the token with a $200 price target for the end of 2030.

The bank forecasts that tokenized assets will grow from roughly $340 billion to $4 trillion by the end of 2028 and expects Chainlink to be a critical infrastructure provider for this growth, given its dominance in DeFi and interoperability capabilities.

Standard Chartered's global head of digital assets research, Geoff Kendrick, argued that Chainlink is positioned as critical infrastructure for the tokenization of real-world assets.
