Standard Chartered Bank predicts that by the end of 2030, the price of LINK is expected to reach US$200. The bank expects Chainlink's fee revenue to grow approximately 25 times by 2030. In the second quarter, cross-chain interoperability protocol (CCIP) transaction volume reached US$4.9 billion, a year-on-year increase of 353%.
Standard Chartered Bank has released a new Chainlink price forecast that Link will rise to US$200 by the end of 2030. The bank expects tokenization and DeFi growth to boost demand for Chainlink services. LINK was trading at around $8.30 when the report was released, meaning the forecast price was about 25 times current levels. The bank also predicts LINK will hit $13 by the end of 2026.
Chainlink price forecast based on tokenization growth
Standard Chartered Bank expects tokenized assets on public blockchains to reach $4 trillion by the end of 2028, compared to about $340 billion currently. The bank also believes that by 2030, DeFi's assets will reach US$2.7 trillion. 
This Chainlink price forecast is based on the assumption that the above growth will increase demand for oracle data and cross-chain services. Tokenized funds require net asset value, bonds require interest rates and payment schedules, and stablecoins also require proof of reserve.
The bank said that Chainlink currently guarantees more than US$110 billion, accounting for about 70% of the value of DeFi, which relies on Oracle globally. On Ethereum, this proportion exceeds 80%.
Chainlink forecasts also rely on CCIP and fee growth
Geoffrey Kendrick, head of digital asset research at Standard Chartered Bank, predicts that LINK fees will increase approximately 25 times by 2030. This Chainlink price forecast roughly connects fee growth to expected token appreciation. Currently, Oracle services contribute most of the expenses, while CCIP provides another growth channel.
In the second quarter, CCIP transaction volume reached US$4.9 billion, a year-on-year increase of 353%. After a cross-chain bridge attack in April, more than $7 billion in token value was also transferred to CCIP.
This Chainlink price forecast is also supported by institutional applications. Standard Chartered listed users such as Swift, DTCC, Euroclear, JPMorgan Chase, MasterCard, UBS, Fidelity and S & P Global.
However, the bank also listed several risks to LINK price targets. Slowing tokenization processes could reduce expected demand; professional competitors could grab business in specific product areas; and technical or configuration failures could undermine confidence in Chainlink's infrastructure.
The LINK price path given by Standard Chartered Bank is: US$41 in 2027, US$82 in 2028, US$133 in 2029, and reaching US$200 in 2030.
