Happy Monday!

Chainlink has kind of disappeared from many an investor’s radar over the past few years. Not Standard Chartered’s though — the bank predicts LINK will hit $200.

Is Bitcoin Ready To Explode? Here's Why Crypto Is At A 'Major Inflection Point'

Bitcoin may be sitting at a major inflection point, and market strategist Jordi Visser says it might only take one clean technical breakout to wake the bulls back up.

His case: Treasury yields are rising, the labor market is weakening, precious metals are already breaking higher, and Bitcoin — up 4% over the past week — has not yet made its big move.

Add in AI-driven stablecoin and blockchain activity, plus investors looking beyond crowded AI stock trades, and crypto could be next in line for fresh capital.

SPECIAL OFFER

Congress files them. Executives file them. You never see them in time.

Unusual options activity, every congressional trade, insider filings, and analyst upgrade and downgrades. All of it is public. Almost none of it reaches a retail investor while it's still useful.

Standard Chartered Targets LINK At $200, Joining Hyperbullish Bitcoin, Ethereum Calls

Chainlink got a massive vote of confidence from Standard Chartered, which slapped a $200 by 2030 target on LINK — implying about a 25x upside from current levels near $8.25.

The bank’s bull case is tied to a much bigger bet: tokenized assets and DeFi infrastructure exploding over the next several years, with Chainlink positioned as the data-and-bridge layer behind major players like JPMorgan, Mastercard, Swift and DTCC.

LINK hasn’t ripped yet, but with price pressing key technical levels and Standard Chartered already making hyperbullish calls on Bitcoin, Ethereum, Uniswap and Aave, traders may want this one on the radar.
