Chainlink's LINK Token Surges to 3-Year High Following Major Investments and Partnerships
The cryptocurrency's value has nearly doubled this year, driven by whale activity, DeFi initiatives, and collaborations with traditional finance institutions.
- Chainlink's LINK token reached $30.68 this week, its highest price since 2022, marking an 11% weekly gain and a 130% increase since early 2024.
- World Liberty Financial, backed by Donald Trump, purchased over $2 million worth of LINK tokens this week, making it the platform's fourth-largest holding after Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Tether.
- The surge in LINK's value is supported by record-high futures open interest of $860 million, signaling strong investor confidence in continued price growth.
- Chainlink launched its Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) on the Ronin network, facilitating transactions between Ethereum, Ronin, and Coinbase's Base blockchain.
- New partnerships with Emirates NBD, SWIFT, and Coinbase's Project Diamond aim to integrate Chainlink's blockchain solutions into traditional financial systems, boosting adoption and utility.
