Chainlink positioned to benefit from $4T tokenized RWA market by 2030
Standard Chartered forecasts tokenized real-world assets will reach $4 trillion by 2028, potentially driving demand for oracle services and pushing LINK to $200 by decade's end.
Geoff Kendrick, global head of digital asset research at Standard Chartered, projects the LINK token could rise more than 25-fold to $200 by the end of 2030, from current levels around $8. His forecast rests on anticipated growth in tokenized real-world assets, which would require secure onchain data provision to function effectively.
Kendrick argues that Chainlink's infrastructure for delivering trusted external data, ensuring network interoperability, enabling privacy-preserving compliance and integrating with traditional financial systems positions it uniquely to capture value from this expansion. He also forecasts a 37-fold rise in tokenized and crypto-native assets deployed in decentralized finance, reaching $2.7 trillion by 2030, further supporting demand for such services.
Market data supports growing institutional interest in tokenized assets. Trading volume on decentralized exchanges reached an all-time high of $141 billion in July, a 19.5% monthly increase driven largely by public equities. Chainlink currently secures $34.4 billion in total value across its network, substantially ahead of Chronicle, which ranks second with $7.36 billion.
The forecast carries acknowledged risks, including slower-than-expected institutional adoption of tokenization, emerging competition from specialist oracle providers, and unforeseen technical challenges.
These two are not the same thing, and one does not produce the other. The left is how this single article reads, from its tone alone. The right is the site’s own call on the asset, from indicators and analysis. Press tone feeds no score and no signal: on the only corpus this site has measured, daily tone tracked the move that had already happened and showed no measurable link with what followed.
