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)
