Could LINK’s Meteoric Rise to $200 by 2030 Be Fueled by a $4 Trillion Tokenized RWA Boom?
Ever wondered if a single digital token could turn your portfolio from modest to mind-blowing by 2030? Well, Chainlink’s LINK might just be the dark horse sprinting ahead in the race. With a potential 25-fold surge to $200, fueled by the explosive growth of tokenized real world assets expected to hit $4 trillion by 2028, this isn’t your everyday crypto tale. The oracle services that Chainlink provides are becoming the backbone for decentralized finance, ensuring trusted data and seamless cross-chain communication—services that are harder to come by than a needle in a haystack. Sure, risks lurk in the shadows—sluggish adoption, rivals nipping at its heels, and tech hiccups—but the forecast is as bold as it gets.

The LINK token may see a 25-fold increase to $200 by the end of 2030, as the growing real world asset market increases demand for the industry’s largest oracle services provider, according to Standard Chartered.
The Chainlink (LINK) token may see an more than 25-fold increase by the end of the decade, as tokenized real world assets (RWA) will reach $4 trillion by the end of 2028, according to a forecast by Geoff Kendrick, the global head of digital asset research at Standard Chartered.
Kendrick said that the growth in tokenized assets will require more external data to come securely onchain, which may increase Chainlink’s fee generation and push its LINK token to $200 by the end of 2030, up from $8 today, according to a Monday report shared with Cointelegraph.
The report also forecast a 37-fold rise in tokenized and crypto-native assets deployed in decentralized finance, pushing these assets to $2.7 trillion by the end of 2030. Kendrick said these assets will require trusted data, interoperability between networks, privacy-preserving compliance and integrations with existing financial systems, which “only Chainlink is currently equipped to provide.”
The report follows growing demand for tokenized assets. Tokenized RWA trading on decentralized exchanges (DEXs) reached a new all-time high of $141 billion in July, marking a 19.5% monthly rise largely driven by public equities, according to data provider CryptoRank.
Chainlink is the blockchain industry’s leading decentralized oracle provider for crosschain communication, with $34.4 billion in total value secured. Chronicle ranks second with $7.36 billion, according to data aggregator DefiLlama.
Standard Chartered’s Kendrick said that potential risks to its Chainlink price forecast include slower-than-expected institutional tokenization initiatives, competition from specialist oracle providers and potential technical setbacks.
