Zinger Key Points
  • Santiment data suggests Chainlink’s supply distribution is healthier for long-term stability compared to other coins.
  • Crypto traders see LINK as a strong altcoin cycle indicator, offering a safer play amid speculative alternatives.

Chainlink LINK/USD is down 6% over the past 30 days, with sideways price largely unimpacted by fundamental developments around the protocol.

What Happened: According to a Santiment data report, Chainlink has the most balanced concentration of supply among the top ten largest wallets, with 33.1% of token supply held by the top 10.

This compares favorably to Ethereum (46.1%), Toncoin (32.8%) and Shiba Inu (61.3%).

Trader Notes: Crypto trader Osemka emphasized that Chainlink's price action consistently respects key levels, making it a leading indicator for altcoin momentum and a safer play than speculative assets.

The trader sees several bullish factors working in LINK’s favor:

  • Fundamental Support: Real-World Assets (RWA) adoption provides a strong growth narrative.
  • Technical Stability: Clear support/resistance levels make it easier to trade.
  • Altcoin Cycle Indicator: LINK's movements often precede broader altcoin market shifts.

Meanwhile, trader Quinten Francois believes the market is underestimating LINK's potential, calling it an overlooked opportunity.

Statistics: IntoTheBlock data shows large transactional volume increased around 10%, while daily active addresses are down 25.2% in a single day. Transactions greater than $100,000 remained relatively flat.

Coinglass data shows Chainlink's open interest increased 2.2%, while derivatives trading volume expanded by 85.9%. Liquidations in the past 24 hours stood at $1.41 million.

Community News: Chainlink announced that in this current week there were 17 integrations of their standard across five services and 12 different chains. Some of the new integrations include: Mantle, Sei, HashKey Chain, X Layer and others.
