LINK has struggled to approach its all-time high of $52 set in May 2021. The token reached $27.70 on August 23, 2025, and has been declining since.

According to the market intelligence platform Santiment, Chainlink recorded the second-highest developer activity among the “AI and Big Data” platforms in the past 30 days.

Strong Growth in Chainlink Protocol Revenue

Data from DefiLlama shows that Chainlink’s gross protocol revenue over the past four weeks alone has reached $5 million.

Compared to Q1 2025, which recorded a revenue of $964,000, the network registered an impressive growth of over five times.

While the token’s price has been seeing selloffs, the network itself is becoming more active and useful. The notable rise in Chainlink’s revenue also proves stronger real usage.

Massive LINK Accumulation

Retail investors and whales have also been heavily accumulating LINK.

According to data from Coinglass, 10.15 million LINK tokens have left major centralized exchanges since December 20, 2025. Currently, 118.65 LINK coins are sitting in CEXs.

Strong outflows from exchanges would also mean less selling pressure from short-term traders.

Crypto whales have also been actively buying LINK as its price fell below the $13 mark.

According to Santiment, the amount of negative social media activity around Chainlink has significantly increased over the past week.

The analyst notes that when retail investors sell out of fear, uncertainty, and doubt, the asset is likely to rebound in the short term.

Despite the notable growth in Chainlink’s technical and fundamental indicators, investors should also keep an eye on the broader market activity and momentum.

The upcoming U.S. Fed meeting, combined with the earnings reports from the tech giants, will undoubtedly have a strong impact on the crypto market.
