LINK could be next in line after Standard Chartered’s UNI and AAVE targets sparked sharp repricings

Standard Chartered initiated coverage of Chainlink (LINK) with a $200 price target for 2030, laying out a staged path to get there: $13 by the end of this year, $41 in 2027, $82 in 2028, $133 in 2029, and $200 in 2030.LINK trades near $7.47 today, meaning the 2030 target implies roughly 27 times the current price. Even the bank's nearest milestone, the $13 call for the end of 2026, sits about 74% above LINK's current price.The firm previously shared a $3,500 target for AAVE, which is close to 50 times the $70 initiation price. UNI carries a $100 target against an initiation price near $2.50 to $2.70, and MORPHO carries a $60 target against a coverage price near $2.13.Every one of the four implies returns in the 25 to 50 times range.TokenStandard Chartered targetReference priceImplied upsideCore infrastructure roleLINK$200 by 2030~$7.47 today~27xOracles, data feeds, CCIP, tokenization connectivityAAVE$3,500 by 2030~$70 at initiation~50xDeFi lending and collateral marketsUNI$100 by 2030~$2.50–$2.70 at initiation~37x–40xDecentralized liquidityMORPHO$60 by 2030~$2.13 at coverage~28xLending vaults and on-chain credit infrastructureThe $4 trillion assumption behind the LINK predictionThe...
