Chainlink (LINK) is trading above $25, up 6% today and 9% over the past week. Over the last 30 days, LINK has gained 31%, making it one of the top performers among the 100 largest cryptocurrencies. While most major tokens have seen losses or modest movement, LINK has steadily climbed, reaching its highest level in over seven months.
Enterprise and DeFi Integrations
Recent integrations have played a key role in supporting Chainlink’s price. Bitget, a global exchange with over 120 million users, has adopted Chainlink’s Proof of Reserve system on Ethereum to verify collateral backing for its wrapped Bitcoin (BGBTC). The system is being used by BitVault Finance for lending and yield strategies.
Other integrations include Lendr.fi’s adoption of Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Token (CCT) standard via CCIP, allowing cross-chain transfers of its RWAL token across Ethereum, BNB Chain, and Avalanche. Pendle’s new futures platform, Boros, is using Chainlink data on Arbitrum and Base to support on-chain access to funding rates.
Institutional Momentum
Chainlink’s earlier partnerships are also showing real-world usage. Visa has integrated Chainlink for stablecoin settlements, Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) is using it to provide on-chain FX and precious metals data, and Fidelity is publishing fund NAVs through Chainlink’s oracle network.
These partnerships are contributing to growing demand for Chainlink services, with usage translating into protocol fees and buybacks. The Chainlink Reserve has started monthly purchases of LINK from the market, currently averaging $2.8 million per month.

Supply Trends and Whale Accumulation
On-chain data shows that large holders have accumulated nearly 9 million LINK – valued at over $200 million – since early July. At the same time, exchange reserves have dropped by roughly 40%, reducing available liquid supply.
Wallet activity has also increased. Data from Santiment indicates LINK wallet creation and daily transaction counts reached 2025 highs in mid-August.
