Chainlink’s LINK Surges 8% as Crypto Recovers, Outperforming BTC

Chainlink’s LINK Surges 8% Amid Institutional Interest and Reserve Purchases

  • ChainLink‘s token LINK rose over 8% on Wednesday, recovering from prior losses.
  • LINK outperformed Bitcoin and ether in both gains and trading volume during the same period.
  • Growth is linked to increased interest from traditional markets and new institutional adoption.
  • The Chainlink Reserve initiative supports the token price by regularly purchasing LINK from protocol revenues.
  • Chainlink’s co-founder met with U.S. Senator Tim Scott to discuss favorable changes to a proposed market structure bill.

Chainlink’s LINK token showed significant gains on Wednesday. The cryptocurrency rose above $26, marking an increase of 8.3% over the last 24 hours. This recovery brought back the value it lost during Tuesday’s broader market decline.

Over the same period, LINK performed better than larger cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin rose just 0.5%, while Ether gained around 4%. The overall crypto market, measured by the CoinDesk 20 Index, climbed 1.5%.

LINK’s recent strength reflects growing confidence in Chainlink as a key technology connecting traditional finance with blockchain. The project has attracted more institutional investors. Co-founder Sergey Nazarov stated in an X post that he met with U.S. Senator Tim Scott to discuss a market structure bill. Nazarov said, “This new version of the market structure bill has many advantages over past versions, enabling our industry to rapidly grow in the U.S. with fewer limitations.”

Another factor driving LINK’s growth is the Chainlink Reserve. This program uses revenue from protocol services and integrations to buy LINK tokens, similar to a share buyback practiced by public companies. Data from Chainlink Reserve shows the initiative has purchased over 109,000 tokens worth about $2.8 million in just two weeks and plans to continue weekly purchases.

Technical data from CoinDesk Research pointed to major trading activity. LINK’s price climbed from $23.96 to $25.93, crossing resistance levels at $24.50 and $25.20 before consolidating. Strong support appeared near the $23.50–$23.60 range.
