Chainlink Sees Strong Whale and Institutional Activity, Next Target?

Oracle service provider Chainlink (LINK) has been in the news lately with a strong rally over the last month. After hitting a high of $8.13 on October 1, the LINK price has seen some downward price action.

As of press time, the Chainlink price is trading 3.52% up at $7.60 with a market cap of $4.2 billion. However, despite the recent downside volatility, the Chainlink price still trades above its macro trendline. There’s a possibility that the LINK price could come to retest the macro trendline and bounce back thereafter.

Such large transactions often indicate a surge in speculation surrounding a cryptocurrency. Nevertheless, it’s important to note that such increases in activity do not necessarily guarantee an immediate rise in the asset’s value.

Chainlink- The Safest Bet?

In the realm of real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, there’s a growing momentum in the crypto space, and according to a report by research firm K33 Research, Chainlink’s native token (LINK) could be the “safest choice” for investors looking to capitalize on this trend.

K33 analyst David Zimmerman stated, “If we wish to have exposure to the RWA narrative and avoid being sidelined when it takes off, LINK is the safest bet.” He highlighted that global banks and cryptocurrency platforms are already taking steps to leverage tokenization, and Chainlink has established itself as a crucial piece of infrastructure for connecting blockchains with the real world through its network of oracles and extensive partnerships. He added, “It may not be the most significant gainer, but there are few projects better positioned to benefit from this narrative.”
