"Crypto Weekly": LINK and WLFI Show Double-Digit Gains Amid Market Decline

During a week of overall market decline in mid-August, Bitcoin and major altcoins like XRP and ADA faced significant losses. However, Chainlink (LINK) and World Liberty Financial (WLFI) stood out with double-digit gains. LINK rallied 13% following an optimistic price target from Standard Chartered, while WLFI surged 15%. Other notable gainers included Worldcoin (WLD) and OKB. The broader downturn was led by Bitcoin, which fell over 3% after a sell-off announcement from a major holder, contributing to a drop in total crypto market capitalization from nearly $3 trillion to $2.22 trillion.

Chainlink Conducts a $1.1 Million $LINK Token Buyback

Chainlink has conducted a buyback of approximately $1.12 million worth of its native $LINK token, at an average price of $11.14 per token. This operation transferred 127,740 $LINK to a dedicated reserve wallet, bringing the total holdings in the reserve to about 5.48 million $LINK, valued at roughly $48.5 million. This buyback is part of Chainlink's long-term strategy, aimed at reducing the circulating supply of $LINK to help manage its market price. The mechanism is similar to a stock buyback in traditional finance, often perceived as a bullish signal due to its potential to create scarcity. As a key infrastructure provider for the decentralized finance (DeFi) sector, Chainlink's tokenomic moves are closely watched by investors. While the buyback amount is relatively small compared to $LINK's total market capitalization (around $5.6 billion), it is seen as bolstering confidence in the project and may serve as a short-term catalyst. At the time of reporting, $LINK was trading at $9.34, having gained 5.71% in the last 24 hours and over 12% in the past week.

Chainlink Whales’ Activity Hits Five-Month High as Holders Anticipate Breakout

Activity of large Chainlink investors has surged to a five-month high, potentially signaling a bullish breakout for LINK, according to data from analytics firm Santiment. On August 12, the network processed 246 large transactions of at least $100,000 each, the highest daily count in five months, a pattern historically linked to price increases. Despite this surge in whale activity, LINK's price, trading at $8.80 at the time of the report, has been largely stagnant over the past year and remains down roughly 83% from its May 2021 all-time high. However, Santiment noted a bullish technical signal as LINK broke a descending trend line on August 11. Standard Chartered offered a significantly optimistic long-term outlook, setting price targets of $13 by 2026, $41 by 2027, and a higher target for 2030. The bank's forecast is based on Chainlink's potential role as a foundational layer for tokenized real-world assets, a market projected to reach around $4 trillion by 2028. The report highlighted that Chainlink's utility and adoption continue to grow, with recent integrations including a cross-border settlement project with 47 banks and partnerships with major institutions like DTCC, Robinhood, and Amundi. Despite this expanding infrastructure, LINK's price has struggled to break out of its $8-$10 range for most of the year.

Chainlink Price Forecast: Standard Chartered Sets $200 Target for LINK, Oracles Secure $33.43 Trillion

Chainlink (LINK) price is testing a key descending trend line at $8.41, with a close above the 100-day EMA at $8.51 signaling a potential technical breakout. Standard Chartered initiated coverage with a long-term $200 price target by 2030, citing projected growth in tokenized assets and DeFi, and set nearer-term targets of $13 by end-2026, $41 (2027), $82 (2028), and $133 (2029). The bank's thesis hinges on LINK capturing fees from data feeds and cross-chain transfers as major institutions like Swift and JPMorgan adopt its services. Fundamentally, Chainlink oracles have secured over $33.43 trillion in total transaction value, dominating the oracle market on three of the top four blockchains (Ethereum, BNB Chain, Base). Its Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) volume also saw significant quarterly growth. Key technical levels are identified: resistance at $8.51 (100-day EMA) and $9.55 (200-day EMA), with support at $8.27 (20-day EMA) and the SuperTrend at $7.80. The bullish scenario targets a move to $9.55, while a bearish breakdown could see a test of the $7.80 support. The conclusion emphasizes that while fundamentals are strong, a daily close above $8.51 is needed to confirm a breakout.

Standard Chartered Added Another Promising Altcoin to Its List and Shared a Growth Forecast! 'It Could Grow 25x!'

British banking giant Standard Chartered has added Chainlink (LINK) to its list of promising altcoins, setting a $200 price target for the token by the end of 2030. This projection implies a potential 25-fold increase from its current price of around $8. The bank's analysis, titled "Chainlink – On Track," cites the expected growth of the asset tokenization market, which it forecasts could reach approximately $4 trillion by 2030. Standard Chartered argues that Chainlink's critical infrastructure—which connects blockchains with external data and financial systems and now includes services for interoperability, compliance, and privacy—positions it uniquely to support both traditional and decentralized finance as tokenization expands. The bank notes increasing adoption by major institutions like Swift, JPMorgan, and Mastercard, highlighting Chainlink's role as essential infrastructure for the coming tokenization boom.

Standard Chartered Added Another Promising Altcoin to Its List and Shared a Growth Forecast! 'It Could Grow 25 Times!'

British banking giant Standard Chartered has added another altcoin to its list of promising assets with growth potential: Chainlink (LINK). The bank has set a $200 price target for LINK by the end of 2030, representing a potential 25-fold increase from its current price of around $8. Standard Chartered argues that the anticipated boom in asset tokenization will require reliable blockchain data, positioning Chainlink as critical infrastructure connecting blockchains with external data and financial systems. The bank forecasts the tokenized asset market could reach approximately $4 trillion by 2030. The analysis notes that Chainlink has expanded beyond oracles to include interoperability, compliance, and privacy features, making it a comprehensive platform for both decentralized (DeFi) and traditional finance (TradFi). Growing adoption by institutions like Swift, DTCC, JPMorgan, and Mastercard is cited as supporting its growth trajectory. The bank concludes these factors could drive LINK to its $2030 target.

Grayscale's "Chainlink" ETF Shrinks to $72 Million Following 18% Decline in LINK Price

The Grayscale Chainlink Trust ETF (GLNK) held 10,030,901.11 $LINK tokens as of June 30, valued at $72.2 million, unchanged in token count but down in value from the previous quarter due to an 18% price drop. The quarterly report shows an unrealized loss of approximately $16.4 million for the trust. GLNK began trading on NYSE Arca in December 2025, converting a private trust into a publicly traded ETF following streamlined SEC listing rules established in September 2025. The launch was initially successful, attracting $41 million on its first day and reaching about $73 million in AUM by April. However, growth projections of $150-$600 million by mid-2026 have not materialized, with AUM stagnating around $72.2 million. This stagnation is attributed to the price decline of LINK, which erased new inflows, as the fund's value is solely tied to the token's price. Grayscale charges a 0.35% annual sponsor fee, a significant reduction from the previous 2.5% fee for the private trust. The report underscores the challenges faced by single-asset crypto funds in a volatile market, where performance is directly linked to the underlying asset's price movements.

Прогноз цен на Mantle август 2026: Мегаполис вырос на 9% благодаря запуску Super Portal на Solana с поддержкой Chainlink

Mantle (MNT) price analysis shows a technical breakout above a descending trendline formed since May, supported by a second bullish RSI divergence. This coincides with the launch of the Mantle Super Portal on Solana, secured by Chainlink CCIP, granting Mantle's capital market infrastructure access to a new ecosystem. The RSI is above 50 for the first time since June, indicating a potential trend change. Key resistance levels are the 50-day EMA at $0.4433, followed by the 100-day EMA at $0.5087 and the 200-day EMA at $0.6295. Support lies at the 20-day EMA ($0.4115) and the $0.38 July low. Historically, August is MNT's second-strongest month with a +9.27% average return, and the token is already up +8.91% this month. The bullish scenario targets $0.5087, while a failure to hold $0.4115 risks a retest of $0.38. The conclusion is cautiously optimistic, noting the breakout is strengthened by fundamental news but faces overhead resistance from the EMA stack.

Santiment Reports: Investors Are Withdrawing Their Tokens from Exchanges for Two Surprising Altcoins! What Does This Mean? Is a Bull Market Imminent?

Santiment reports significant net outflows of two altcoins from exchanges: Chainlink (LINK) and Pepe (PEPE). Over 24 hours, approximately $1.26 million worth of LINK left exchanges, marking its largest daily outflow since June 29. For PEPE, around 4.54 trillion tokens were withdrawn, the largest daily net outflow since November 14, 2024. This reduction in exchange supply for both assets is seen as a signal that investors are moving tokens to private wallets, decreasing the amount readily available for immediate sale. This can reduce the risk of sudden, intense selling pressure in the short term. While a decreased sell-side supply can create a more positive outlook, it does not guarantee a price increase. For LINK, developments in institutional adoption and infrastructure are noted. For PEPE, market watchers are observing potential ETF-related developments and memecoin market rotation. The activity indicates shifting investor holding patterns but is not a definitive bullish signal.

Отток альткоинов с бирж и активность китов: эксперты заявили о финальной стадии медвежьего цикла

Analysts from Santiment reported the largest net outflow of PEPE and Chainlink (LINK) tokens from centralized exchanges in recent months. They noted that reducing exchange reserves lowers the amount of coins available for quick sale, potentially decreasing the risk of sharp price declines. Simultaneously, CryptoQuant stated that large holders of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP are continuing to accumulate assets. Key data points include Bitcoin whale holdings (excluding exchanges and mining pools) rising to approximately 3.06 million BTC, accumulation during price drops below $60,000, large XRP holders maintaining spot orders between $1-$1.2, and Ethereum addresses with 10,000 to 100,000 ETH increasing their holdings to a record 19.6 million ETH. CryptoQuant analysts believe these factors, combined with market valuations approaching historical undervaluation zones, indicate weakening selling pressure and signal the final stage of the bear market, though they caution that some room for further price decline remains before a definitive market bottom is confirmed.
