Chainlink: Deciphering Reasons Behind the Whales’ Interest in LINK

Chainlink [LINK] once again became popular among the whales, which reflects the top supply holders’ trust in the token. WhaleStats, a popular Twitter handle that posts updates related to whale activity, recently revealed that LINK was on the list of the cryptos that the top 1000 Ethereum whales were holding. Apart from LINK, SHIB, UNI, and MATIC were also on the list. 

A major factor that can be attributed to LINK’s popularity among whales could be the token’s recent price action. ConMarketCap’s data revealed that LINK’s price increased by more than 12% in the last seven days, and at press time, it was trading at $6.84 with a market capitalization of over $3.4 billion.

Not only that, but increased adoption may also be a valid reason. Chainlink recently posted its weekly adoption update, in which it was mentioned that last week, there were 8 integrations of 3 Chainlink services across 4 different chains, namely BNB Chain, Ethereum, Polygon, and Solana.
