Standard Chartered Sees $4T Tokenization Driving Chainlink to $200 by 2030

What happened

Standard Chartered announced that it expects the tokenization market to reach $4 trillion by 2030 and set 2030 price targets for Uniswap, Aave, Morpho and Chainlink based on a large growth forecast for decentralized finance.

Confirmed

Global impact / market context

If the forecast holds, the huge increase in tokenized assets could boost demand for DeFi protocols, raising their token values and attracting more institutional capital to the sector.

Analyst inference

The projection comes as investors are increasingly looking at blockchain‑based finance for growth, and a $4 trillion tokenization market would represent a major expansion of the overall crypto ecosystem.

Analyst inference

What to watch

1. Whether Standard Chartered’s $4 trillion tokenization estimate gains traction among other banks and regulators, influencing broader adoption of tokenized assets. Proposed
2. Chainlink’s price movement toward the $200 target, which would reflect market confidence in its oracle services that feed data to DeFi applications. Proposed
3. Growth metrics for Uniswap, Aave and Morpho, as their usage and total value locked rise in line with the large DeFi growth assumption. Proposed
