Whales Accumulate as Chainlink Powers Real-World Use Cases

According to Santiment, wallets holding between 100K–1M LINK added 0.67% of the total supply in August alone. This comes on the heels of major developments:

  • Aug. 4: Launch of Data Streams for U.S. stocks and ETFs, enabling tokenized real-world assets to access real-time financial data.
  • Aug. 7: Launch of the Chainlink Reserve and a successful trial in Brazil’s Drex CBDC pilot, linking central banks with Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol.

Technicals Point to $20+

All major moving averages — from 10-day to 200-day — are flashing buy signals. With an RSI of 61, LINK still has room to run before hitting overbought levels. Key resistance lies at $20.50–$21, while strong support sits between $17.20–$17.50.

If the bulls keep control, a breakout above $19.16 could open the floodgates.
