Amidst the sharp decline in the cryptocurrency market following Donald Trump’s announcement of 100% tariffs on China, a notable development occurred on the Chainlink (LINK) side.
Chainlink’s uncirculated supply wallet deposited 18.75 million LINK (approximately $387 million) worth of tokens to Binance after unlocking them today, according to on-chain data. This marked one of the project’s largest token transfers in four months.
The transfer coincided with a general market decline, with the price of LINK falling by 21.14% in the last 24 hours to $17.59.
Founded in 2017, Chainlink stands out as an industry-standard oracle platform providing data to a large portion of the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem. The project aims to capitalize on trends such as stablecoin adoption, tokenization of real-world assets (RWA), and enterprise blockchain integrations. The LINK token is used to pay for services on the Chainlink network and maintain network security.
