The LINK token may see a 25-fold increase to $200 by the end of 2030, as the growing real world asset market increases demand for the industry’s largest oracle services provider, according to Standard Chartered.
The Chainlink (LINK) token may see an more than 25-fold increase by the end of the decade, as tokenized real world assets (RWA) will reach $4 trillion by the end of 2028, according to a forecast by Geoff Kendrick, the global head of digital asset research at Standard Chartered.
Kendrick said that the growth in tokenized assets will require more external data to come securely onchain, which may increase Chainlink’s fee generation and push its LINK token to $200 by the end of 2030, up from $8 today, according to a Monday report shared with Cointelegraph.
The report also forecast a 37-fold rise in tokenized and crypto-native assets deployed in decentralized finance, pushing these assets to $2.7 trillion by the end of 2030. Kendrick said these assets will require trusted data, interoperability between networks, privacy-preserving compliance and integrations with existing financial systems, which “only Chainlink is currently equipped to provide.”
The report follows growing demand for tokenized assets. Tokenized RWA trading on decentralized exchanges (DEXs) reached a new all-time high of $141 billion in July, marking a 19.5% monthly rise largely driven by public equities, according to data provider CryptoRank.
Chainlink is the blockchain industry’s leading decentralized oracle provider for crosschain communication, with $34.4 billion in total value secured. Chronicle ranks second with $7.36 billion, according to data aggregator DefiLlama.
Standard Chartered’s Kendrick said that potential risks to its Chainlink price forecast include slower-than-expected institutional tokenization initiatives, competition from specialist oracle providers and potential technical setbacks.

]]>Week two of WVU football fall camp is about to get underway, so let’s continue our position previews by moving to the linebacker group. We have the nickel/sams, cornerbacks, and safeties remaining.
Offensive previews
Quarterbacks | Running Backs | Wide Receivers | Tight Ends | Offensive Line
Defensive previews
Edge Rushers | Defensive Line
Projected depth chart
MIKE: Ben Cutter, Tyler Stolsky, Isaiah Patterson, Cam Dwyer, Troy Fischer
WILL: Cam Torbor, Malachi Hood, Ashton Woods, Jason Hall Jr., Antoine Sharp Jr.
The starters
Ben Cutter | 6’0″, 228 lbs | Denver, NC
A steady presence in West Virginia’s defense over the past three seasons, playing in various roles. This feels like Cutter’s breakout year, and fortunately for him, it’s not necessarily a make-or-break year anymore now that he has a fifth year of eligibility and has expressed his desire to suit up for the Mountaineers again in 2027. Pass coverage has been a big problem for him throughout much of his career, but last season he made significant improvement in that area, limiting the opposition to just 5.5 yards per reception. In 2024, that number was 15.7.
Cam Torbor | 6’3″, 239 lbs | Hoover, AL
I’m not sure anyone’s stock on the entire team has risen as much as Cam Torbor’s has, especially from the group of players who are back from last year’s squad. The talent is off the charts; he just needed the game to slow down for him, and it has started to. Defensive coordinator Zac Alley, linebacker Ben Cutter, and our guy Jed Drenning have all praised him early in fall camp. He’s without question the most athletic player the Mountaineers have in the room and could be the fastest. Looks way older than just a redshirt freshman.
Key Contributors
Malachi Hood | 6’2″, 228 lbs | Plainfield, IL
Hood is just a solid football player. I wouldn’t say he does any one thing in particular exceptionally well, but he is consistent and reliable. I do think he has a chance to win the starting job, but Torbor is turning a bunch of heads, and Hood may be better in a rotational role. Last year at Illinois, when he appeared in 35+ snaps, he wasn’t nearly as sharp. His three worst games were when he played heavy snaps, while his best were when he played 15-30 snaps a game. Hood is a sure tackler, only missing four tackles in his entire career.
Tyler Stolsky | 6’2″, 232 lbs | Portage, MI
Stolsky is your typical throwback MIKE backer who plays with physicality and toughness. He’ll break out the old-school neck roll, and don’t expect any minor injuries to put him on the shelf. Last season at Florida Atlantic, he played a game with a big club on his left hand. Power Four football is nothing new to him, having begun his career at Minnesota, where he played in 13 games as a freshman and made 26 tackles. Downhill backer who loves to muddy up the run game.
Ashton Woods | 6’3″, 228 lbs | Marietta, GA
Unfortunately, Woods’ 2025 season was cut short due to a shoulder injury that required surgery. He wasn’t able to do much in the spring, but he is expected to be a key part of this defense this fall. Look for Alley to use him as a blitzer from the second level a good deal and sub him out in obvious passing situations. He had some doozies in pass coverage last season in the six games he played and also took some bad angles to the ball carrier, missing six tackles. The talent is there, though. Now that he has experience in the system and is a year older, I’d expect him to take some big strides.
Isaiah Patterson | 6’2″, 235 lbs | Tacoma, WA
Much like Hood, Patterson didn’t fare too well when playing heavy snaps last year at UNLV. The good thing is he won’t be asked to play a ton of snaps this fall with all of the other options in the room. This will be a developmental year for him while still having a role as a rotational guy. Patterson allowed 15 catches for 182 yards and a touchdown in 2025, so pass coverage is a work in progress for him. Stuffing the run is where he will most likely make an impact this season.
Depth pieces
The list: Cameron Dwyer (6’1″, 216 lbs), Jason Hall Jr. (6’1″, 234 lbs), Antoine Sharp Jr. (6’0″, 225 lbs), Troy Fischer (5’11”, 222 lbs)
The name to watch: Cameron Dwyer
“Bam-Bam” is going to be a really good player for the Mountaineers at some point in the near future. He may not have the size that Cam Torbor possesses, but he’s just as athletic and fast. He’ll need to fill out his frame a little bit before being able to work his way into the rotation, but he’s such an intriguing talent who plays much bigger than his size would indicate. A seeking missile that seeks out contact.

Crypto markets enter the week with the near-term direction tied to whether easing U.S. inflation can keep the Federal Reserve’s interest-rate policy on hold and take pressure off the dollar into year-end.
Consumer price index data due Wednesday is the first test, but the larger question is whether weaker labor demand is beginning to outweigh price pressures still above the central bank’s target.
ING strategists Chris Turner and Francesco Pesole say they expect a no-increase outcome to create a more supportive cross-asset backdrop.
“If we’re right on the Fed, the dollar should be due a benign decline into year-end in what should be a risk-positive climate,” they wrote in a report. A hotter CPI print would challenge that path and put Treasury yields and the dollar back at the center of crypto trading.
Geopolitical instability will keep on playing a role in crypto prices. As war in the Middle East threatens vital oil passageways, inflation expectations could increase and, along with them, interest-rate-hike expectations.

]]>John Harbaugh is a leader of men. He broke into the NFL as a special teams coordinator and was never an innovative offensive or defensive play-caller. But what the New York Giants head coach can do is motivate players and establish a disciplined, winning culture.
That is what excites fans most about his arrival. People acknowledge his recent big-game stumbles with the Baltimore Ravens, but they also recognize the verve he injects into a locker room. This franchise has been missing the very qualities that Harbaugh embodies.
Jaxson Dart explained what the Giants value most about the Super Bowl XLVII champion.
“The way that he carries himself just as an individual, a man, it’s something you can really, really respect day in and day out,” the second-year quarterback told NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo and Brian Baldinger at training camp.
“I think the biggest thing is he’s never trying to change anybody from who they are. But he’s putting out his culture, his plan. It’s for us to buy into. We trust him because of how great of a coach he is.”
“We trust him because of how great of a coach he his”
@Giants QB Jaxson Dart on new HC John Harbaugh@MikeGarafolo | @BaldyNFL pic.twitter.com/q0PBJCRdUE
— NFL Network (@nflnetwork) August 2, 2026
How Much Change Can Harbaugh Implement?
How Harbaugh connects with Dart and the other young members of this squad will be vital. Fortunately, it sounds like he is doing quite well in that regard. A firm hand is necessary from time to time, however.
Harbaugh sent a strong message to his 23-year-old signal-caller when he personally assessed Dart a 15-yard taunting penalty for throwing the ball at cornerback Greg Newsome II after scoring a touchdown at practice. Such indiscretions have consequences in an actual NFL game, so hopefully Dart learned his lesson.
John Harbaugh is a players’ coach who preaches accountability, a combination that is effective yet all too rare. With his endless passion and impressive credentials, he will ideally command respect from the entire roster and staff. That is the first step.
The Giants must be a cohesive unit. There may be days when players resent their head coach for grueling summer practices, but if everyone stays on the same page from a football perspective, then positive results should follow.
New York’s place in the standings will ultimately define Harbaugh’s time in the Meadowlands. No amount of flattery will change that. However, it is the very traits that Jaxson Dart and others have highlighted that can help the Giants succeed moving forward.
Harbaugh will continue to instill his philosophies as the opening kickoff quickly approaches.

Bitcoin rose above $65,000 on Monday, up nearly 3% over the week, with July inflation data due Wednesday at 8:30 a.m. ET after Friday’s weak jobs report eased worries the Federal Reserve would need to raise rates.
Ether traded near $1,919 and is also up almost 3% on the week. BNB gained 0.3% to $603 and matched that weekly move. Solana was the strongest major, up 1% on the day to nearly $77 and almost 5% over seven days. Tron held at 33 cents.
XRP was the only major in the red on both views, slipping 0.4% to $1.03 and down 4% on the week. Hyperliquid’s HYPE fell over 1% to $54 but remains up over 3% on the week, and dogecoin eased to under 7 cents.
Equities set the tone. The MSCI All Country World Index rose 0.1%, its seventh gain in eight sessions, with the Asian gauge up 0.6% after Friday’s soft jobs report sent the S&P 500 to a record.
Chipmakers led, with a regional semiconductor gauge rallying more than 1.5% on gains at Taiwan Semiconductor and SK Hynix.

]]><p>Today, August 10, 2026, the crypto market is buzzing with news from the Solana camp. Anza CEO Brennan Watt has officially queued 300ms slot times on Solana’s testnet, with activation expected today. This move signals a significant step in reducing block finality times, a crucial factor for network speed and efficiency. The mainnet is still targeting August 17 for its 350ms update, but the testnet’s progress is a strong indicator of the direction Solana is heading.</p>
<p>This development isn’t happening in a vacuum. Solana has been consistently working on improving its core infrastructure. Just last week, the testnet saw a stable 350ms slot time milestone before Brennan Watt pushed the clock forward. This phased approach, reducing slot times from 400ms down to a 200ms target in sequential steps, is designed with safety and network health in mind. Each phase requires demonstrated network health before proceeding, ensuring that these upgrades don’t compromise stability.</p>
<h2>Deep Analysis of the Slot Time Reduction</h2>
<p>The reduction of Solana’s slot time from 400ms to 300ms on the testnet is a technical upgrade with significant implications. Shorter slot times mean faster block production and, consequently, quicker transaction confirmations. This is vital for a blockchain like Solana, which aims to compete on speed and scalability. For users and developers, this translates to a more responsive network, potentially enabling new use cases and improving the experience for existing decentralized applications (dApps).</p>
<p>The SIMD-0525 upgrade, which governs these slot time reductions, is a multi-stage process. The current 300ms queue on testnet is a precursor to the mainnet’s 350ms activation, which is targeted for August 17. This deliberate sequencing ensures that potential issues are identified and resolved in a controlled environment before being rolled out to the live network. The network won’t advance to the next phase if block skip rates become too high, acting as a crucial safety net.</p>
<p>Beyond just speed, these upgrades could have a knock-on effect on Solana’s tokenomics. While not directly tied to the slot time reduction, proposals like SIMD-0553 are being considered to significantly increase Solana’s token burns. If passed, this could dramatically alter the SOL supply dynamic, potentially making it a more attractive asset for investors by counteracting inflation. This focus on improving the core technology and the underlying economics suggests a multi-pronged strategy to bolster Solana’s position in the market.</p>
<h2>Market Impact: How is Solana Reacting?</h2>
<p>As of August 10, 2026, Solana (SOL) is showing signs of stabilization. The price is currently testing resistance around the $78 mark. While the overall market sentiment is leaning towards bullish, with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) near 55.6, a decisive break above $79 is needed to confirm further upward momentum.</p>
<p>The news of the testnet upgrade, while technical, adds to the growing narrative of Solana’s ongoing development and commitment to performance. This could be a contributing factor to the current price action, where SOL is holding above key support levels like $74, $75. A close above $78 could potentially lead to a 10-15% increase, as sidelined capital might enter the market.</p>
<p>Looking at the broader crypto market, Bitcoin is also seeing some movement, trading around $65,168. However, Bitcoin is facing its own resistance challenges, with veteran trader Peter Brandt expressing a bearish outlook on its next move, citing a potential head-and-shoulders pattern. In contrast, Solana’s technical progress on its network infrastructure provides a more concrete, development-driven catalyst.</p>
<h2>Expert Opinions on Solana’s Network Upgrades</h2>
<p>The Solana community and its developers are keenly aware of the importance of these infrastructure upgrades. Brennan Watt, CEO of Anza, has been instrumental in pushing these advancements, providing updates on platforms like X (formerly Twitter) about the progress being made. His proactive communication about queuing 300ms slot times on testnet highlights the team’s commitment to transparency and development milestones.</p>
<p>Analysts are watching these developments closely. For instance, U.Today reported that clearing the $79 resistance level for SOL could target the $84, $86 range, and potentially even $90, $91. This optimistic outlook is partly fueled by the ongoing network improvements, which validate Solana’s utility beyond just speculative trading. The network’s strengthening position in the tokenized real-world assets (RWA) market, alongside Ethereum, further bolsters its fundamental appeal.</p>
<p>While specific “whale” activity isn’t directly tied to this specific upgrade news, the general sentiment among larger holders is often influenced by network stability and performance. Any improvement that enhances scalability and reduces transaction costs can attract more institutional interest, which has been a driving force in the crypto market, accounting for 72% of crypto flow.</p>
<h2>Price Prediction: The Next 24 Hours & 30 Days</h2>
<p>For the next 24 hours, the price of Solana (SOL) will likely be influenced by the successful activation of the 300ms slot time on its testnet and the broader market sentiment. If the testnet update proceeds smoothly and the market remains stable, we could see SOL attempt to break through the $78 resistance. A successful breach could push the price towards the $79-$80 range. However, if the broader market experiences a downturn or if any unforeseen issues arise with the testnet deployment, SOL could retest support levels around $75-$76.</p>
<p>Looking ahead to the next 30 days, the successful implementation of the 350ms slot time on mainnet on August 17 will be a key catalyst. If this goes as planned, coupled with positive developments in other areas like potential token burn increases (SIMD-0553), we could see SOL consolidate above the $80 mark. The $84-$86 range is a realistic short-to-medium term target. Conversely, any significant delays or technical setbacks in these upgrades could lead to a retest of lower support levels, potentially pushing SOL back towards the $70 range.</p>
<p>It’s also worth noting that Ethereum gas fees remain very low, with average fees around 0.107 gwei as of August 10, 2026. This low fee environment across major blockchains could encourage more on-chain activity generally, which would be a net positive for most cryptocurrencies, including Solana.</p>
<h2>Conclusion: A Solid Step Forward for Solana</h2>
<p>The activation of 300ms slot times on Solana’s testnet today is a significant technical achievement. It represents tangible progress in Solana’s ongoing quest for greater speed and scalability. While the immediate price impact might be nuanced, the long-term implications for network performance and user experience are undeniably positive.</p>
<p>The phased approach to these upgrades, prioritizing network stability, demonstrates a mature development strategy. As Solana continues to refine its infrastructure and explore potential tokenomic enhancements, it solidifies its position as a leading blockchain platform. This is a positive development for SOL holders and the broader Solana ecosystem.
