Odaily News: Standard Chartered Bank's Head of Global Digital Assets Research, Geoff Kendrick, stated that as the tokenization of Real World Assets (RWA) accelerates, the price of Chainlink (LINK) tokens could rise to $200 by the end of 2030, representing an increase of over 25 times from its current level of approximately $8.In his latest report, Kendrick predicts that the scale of tokenized RWA will reach $4 trillion by the end of 2028. As more traditional assets are brought on-chain, the demand for secure and reliable off-chain data is expected to increase significantly, which could further boost Chainlink's fee revenue and drive up LINK's valuation.The report also projects that by the end of 2030, the scale of tokenized assets and crypto-native assets deployed in decentralized finance (DeFi) will grow approximately 37-fold to reach $2.7 trillion. Kendrick believes these assets require trusted data, cross-network interoperability, privacy-preserving compliance mechanisms, and integration with the existing financial system—infrastructure that Chainlink currently has the capability to provide.Demand for RWA tokenization has continued to grow recently. Data shows that trading volume of tokenized RWAs on decentralized exchanges (DEXs) hit an all-time high of $14.1 billion in July, up 19.5% month-over-month, driven primarily by public market assets such as tokenized stocks.Currently, Chainlink remains one of the largest decentralized oracle service providers in the crypto industry, with a Total Value Secured (TVS) of approximately $34.4 billion—significantly higher than second-ranked Chronicle's $7.36 billion.However, Kendrick also noted that the prediction of LINK reaching $200 still faces risks, including institutional tokenization projects progressing slower than expected, intensified competition from specialized oracle service providers, and potential technical issues.

Odaily News: Fintech and crypto-friendly bank Revolut has announced that it has obtained a full banking license in France, marking its second full EU banking license after Lithuania. The license was granted following a joint review by the French Prudential Supervision and Resolution Authority (ACPR) and the European Central Bank, and was approved by the ECB's Governing Council. With this license, Revolut Bank S.A. can now offer a wider range of banking services in France, including loans, mortgages, and regulated savings products.France is Revolut's core market in Western Europe. Previously, the company conducted payment and financial services there under its Lithuanian license. Moving forward, it will gradually migrate its French operations to a local French entity and further expand into Germany, Ireland, Italy, Portugal, and Spain. Revolut stated that it has invested over EUR 1 billion in Western Europe in recent years, creating more than 600 new jobs, and plans to establish its Western European headquarters in Paris by 2027.The license comes with regulatory conditions. The European Central Bank may impose product restrictions on Revolut's new French operations. Drawing on the regulatory requirements previously applied to its Lithuanian entity, the rollout of loan and savings products could be subject to pacing constraints. This year, Revolut has continued to achieve regulatory breakthroughs globally, securing a UK banking license in March and an Australian banking license in July. The company's business now spans 40 markets, and its valuation stood at USD 115 billion following secondary stock trading in 2026. (Techfundingnews)
Odaily News - Trump Media is selling trading institutions early access to President Trump's Truth Social posts, with some institutions paying up to $1.2 million per year to get earlier insights into information that could impact market movements.The service is considered to have potential market value. Previously, Trump announced on Truth Social the cancellation of planned military strikes against Iran, and following the post, WTI crude oil prices fell approximately 5% in a single day, demonstrating that presidential statements can have a significant impact on financial markets.According to reports, the arrangement has raised concerns about information fairness in the market. Critics argue that if trading institutions can gain early access to presidential announcements that may affect market prices, it could create an information advantage and undermine fair competition among investors.Currently, Trump Media has not publicly disclosed the specific client base or the lead time of the service, but the model has already sparked discussions among regulators and market participants regarding the commercialization of political information and the risks of insider information.

Odaily Planet Daily reported that according to Bitcoin News monitoring, Roughnecks, the largest miner on BIP-110, has stated it will resume mining on the BIP-110 chain. Roughnecks had previously announced a suspension of operations on Saturday. It has been 37 hours since the last block was mined on the BIP-110 chain, and the signaled hashrate supporting BIP-110 has dropped from over 15 EH/s to 1.16 EH/s. The BIP-110 chain now lags approximately 250 blocks behind the original Bitcoin chain, making continued mining extremely costly with limited economic incentives. Roughnecks stated that it plans to continue mining until BIP-110 is able to implement the proof-of-work change. This change would permanently separate BIP-110 from Bitcoin's existing proof-of-work network, effectively creating a new coin.

Odaily News: Standard Chartered initiated coverage on Monday of blockchain oracle project Chainlink, projecting LINK to reach $200 by the end of 2030 — roughly 25 times its current price of around $8. The bank's phased targets are $13 by the end of this year, followed by $41, $82, and $133. Standard Chartered estimates that the on-chain tokenized asset market will reach $4 trillion by the end of 2028, with DeFi-deployed assets hitting $2.7 trillion by 2030 — a 37-fold increase from current levels. The bank expects Chainlink fees to grow approximately 25-fold over the same period, assuming token prices track fee growth. Chainlink secures over $110 billion in total value, covering approximately 70% of the value that global DeFi relies on from oracles, with a share exceeding 80% on Ethereum; Aave V3 accounts for 44% of that. Swift, DTCC, Euroclear, JPMorgan, Mastercard, UBS, Fidelity, and S&P Global are all listed as institutions using its services. Chainlink still lags behind LayerZero in cross-chain interoperability. Following the $292 million attack in April, over $7 billion in token value has migrated to Chainlink CCIP, with second-quarter transaction volume reaching $4.9 billion — up 353% year-over-year. Risks include slowing institutional tokenization, pilots not converting to production processes, and technical failures impacting confidence. (Decrypt)
