Abstract

British banking giant Standard Chartered has added another altcoin to its list of promising assets with growth potential: Chainlink (LINK). The bank has set a $200 price target for LINK by the end of 2030, representing a potential 25-fold increase from its current price of around $8. Standard Chartered argues that the anticipated boom in asset tokenization will require reliable blockchain data, positioning Chainlink as critical infrastructure connecting blockchains with external data and financial systems. The bank forecasts the tokenized asset market could reach approximately $4 trillion by 2030. The analysis notes that Chainlink has expanded beyond oracles to include interoperability, compliance, and privacy features, making it a comprehensive platform for both decentralized (DeFi) and traditional finance (TradFi). Growing adoption by institutions like Swift, DTCC, JPMorgan, and Mastercard is cited as supporting its growth trajectory. The bank concludes these factors could drive LINK to its $2030 target.

The British banking giant Standard Chartered has added another altcoin with growth potential to its list of promising altcoins, alongside Bitcoin and Ethereum.

One of them is Chainlink, and the bank has set a target price for $LINK shares at $200 by the end of 2030.

According to this estimate, the profit would be approximately 25 times the current price of $LINK, which is around $8.

The bank claims that the tokenization boom will require reliable on-chain data, positioning Chainlink as critical infrastructure for both traditional finance (TradFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi).

At this stage, Standard Chartered notes that the growth of the asset tokenization market could be a significant catalyst for Chainlink.

Chainlink Share Target Price for 2030 Set at $200!

In a new analytical note titled "Chainlink – On the Rails," Standard Chartered forecasts that the asset tokenization market could reach approximately $4 trillion by 2030.

The bank states that Chainlink provides the infrastructure that connects various blockchains with external data and financial systems, and that demand for Chainlink's infrastructure will grow as tokenization spreads to traditional financial assets such as stocks and bonds.

Currently, Standard Chartered notes that Chainlink has expanded its activities beyond oracles to include interoperability, regulatory compliance, and privacy, making it the only comprehensive platform capable of supporting tokenized assets in both DeFi and TradFi.

All these advantages could push the price of $LINK to $200 by the end of 2030.

In conclusion, the bank stated that the use of Chainlink's services is growing every day, adding that among the companies and institutions using these services are Swift, DTCC, Euroclear, JPMorgan, Mastercard, UBS, Fidelity, and WisdomTree.

Bitcoin Mining Company MARA Holdings Sold a Large Number of Bitcoins in the First Half of the Year! Here Are All the Details

Bitcoin mining company MARA Holdings, listed on Nasdaq, sold a substantial amount of Bitcoin in the first half of the year. According to analytics platform Lookonchain, the company sold 23,093 BTC in the first six months of 2026 for approximately $1.6 billion. Following these sales, MARA's Bitcoin reserves decreased significantly, though it still holds 35,577 BTC. The remaining holdings are valued at around $2.3 billion based on current market prices. As one of the largest publicly traded Bitcoin miners, MARA typically holds mined Bitcoin on its balance sheet and sells portions periodically based on market conditions and funding needs. The recent large-scale sale demonstrates the company's active treasury management. Decisions by major miners to sell are closely watched, as such actions can influence market supply, especially when done to cover operational costs during periods of price volatility. While the sale highlights MARA's focus on liquidity, its continued holding of a sizable Bitcoin reserve underscores the asset's ongoing importance on its corporate balance sheet. The company's future actions regarding its Bitcoin treasury will likely depend on factors like Bitcoin's price, mining costs, and cash requirements.

Bitcoin Red Team founder turns to Chinese AI: ‘It absolutely guts me’

A Bitcoin security researcher, Rob Hamilton, states he has been forced to revert to using open-source Chinese AI models after OpenAI restricted his access. As CEO of AnchorWatch, he had begun integrating OpenAI's tools into his work with the Bitcoin Red Team, a volunteer group scanning Bitcoin-related code for vulnerabilities. His access was cut off the next day, preventing further investigation. Hamilton expressed frustration, saying that while malicious actors face no such restrictions, those conducting security research for harm reduction are hindered. This incident highlights a broader concern in the crypto industry about limited access to powerful AI tools for defensive security purposes, with only a select few major players reportedly having obtained such access.

Bitdeer increased Bitcoin mining output by nearly fivefold in Q2

Bitdeer's Bitcoin mining output surged nearly fivefold year-over-year in Q2 2026, producing 2,694 BTC compared to 565 BTC in the prior year. However, the company's Bitcoin holdings on its balance sheet fell 90% to 150 BTC, following a complete liquidation of its 943 BTC treasury in February, which it attributed to liquidity needs, not a departure from its core mining business. The company reported Q2 revenue of $228.8 million, a 47% increase, slightly exceeding Wall Street estimates. Self-mining revenue was $168.4 million, driven by a 389% jump in average hashrate. Despite the revenue growth, Bitdeer's net loss widened to $92.3 million from $62.9 million. Bitdeer is expanding beyond mining, notably signing a 16-year, $4.7 billion lease for AI computing capacity in Norway.

Stock Price Doubles Within the Year, Plummets 20% After Resumption, Baolai Medical's 'Chip Backdoor Listing' Script Ends

On August 10, 2026, BPL (300246.SZ) resumed trading after a nearly week-long suspension and immediately fell by a 20% limit-down. This plunge was triggered by the termination of a planned controlling stake transfer, dashing earlier market speculation. In January 2026, Zhejiang Quwei Zhihe Partnership entered as a significant shareholder, sparking hopes. Investors speculated that its backer, Weigu Information—a specialized "little giant" company in high-reliability solid-state storage chips—might be seeking a backdoor listing through BPL. This "cross-industry restructuring" expectation fueled a strong rally, with BPL's stock price more than doubling in 2026 prior to the halt. However, the deal was called off on August 7, directly causing the sharp sell-off. Underlying BPL's vulnerability is its fundamentally weak business. The company, a medical device firm, is mired in losses, having reported three consecutive years of net losses totaling over 200 million yuan. Its core hemodialysis business is squeezed by government procurement price cuts, while growth in its patient monitor segment has stalled. Furthermore, BPL faces imminent debt pressure with convertible bonds worth approximately 218 million yuan due in September 2026, and its current stock price is far below the conversion price. The failed control transfer may represent a delayed release of negative news, but BPL's core challenges remain: reversing operational losses and addressing its urgent liquidity crisis.

Moore Threads, Having Just Raised 8 Billion, Is Already Planning a Hong Kong IPO

On August 9th, Moore Threads announced plans for a Hong Kong IPO alongside a strong first-half 2026 earnings report. Listed on the Shanghai STAR Market in December 2025 as the "first domestic GPU stock," the company raised 8 billion yuan. Its stock price initially surged but has since fallen 40% from its peak. This decline followed market concerns over its use of substantial idle raised funds for low-risk financial products instead of promised projects. The company's H1 2026 revenue reached 1.74 billion yuan, a 147.4% year-over-year increase, already surpassing its full-year 2025 revenue. This growth is attributed to strong demand for AI and full-feature GPUs, particularly its Kuae AI computing clusters. Despite the revenue surge, Moore Threads remains unprofitable on a non-GAAP basis, with a net loss of 115 million yuan after adjustments. R&D and sales expenses grew significantly. The proposed Hong Kong listing aims to support its global strategy, attract international talent, and improve corporate governance, following the path of other Chinese tech firms pursuing dual listings. However, its港股 IPO valuation may face challenges as international investors could benchmark it against peers like Biren Technology, potentially demanding a discount. In summary, while Moore Threads is expanding rapidly and strategically seeking a港股 listing for global growth, it continues to face profitability challenges amid high costs and market skepticism about its capital allocation and valuation.
