Chainlink's LINK token rose 0.95% over 24 hours to $14.44, remaining above the $14 threshold as broader digital-asset markets strengthened. Bitcoin held above $86,000, Ethereum traded above $2,700, and the overall cryptocurrency market gained 2.37% to reach $2.93 trillion. LINK has advanced more than 30% over the past 30 days and is up 18% year to date, outperforming Bitcoin's 5% decline. The move followed the late-September release of CCIP 2.0, an upgraded cross-chain interoperability system (technology for connecting blockchains), whose launch drove a 10% single-session rally. Chainlink-tracking exchange-traded products recorded a third consecutive day of inflows on October 1, attracting $2.62 million. All of the inflow went to Bitwise's CLNK, while Grayscale's GLNK recorded neutral flows. Since launch, the pair has collected $168.96 million in net inflows, with combined assets of $244.34 million, equal to 2.27% of LINK's market capitalization. Seven-day net additions totaled $8.30 million, while daily trading volume reached $14.99 million. Grayscale accounted for $14.56 million of that volume and held $175.69 million in net assets, compared with Bitwise's $68.64 million. LINK derivatives trading volume fell 21.53% to $589.69 million, but open interest (the value of outstanding derivatives positions) edged up 0.08% to $771.91 million. On October 2, LINK traded at $14.451, up 0.56% over four hours. Technical readings were broadly neutral with a mild bullish bias, while market analyst Symba said the token could revisit support between $12.70 and $13.00 before forming a base. He identified $12.70 as an important level for traders holding long positions and said a resilient trendline could support a recovery toward $14.00-$14.50 and a retest of approximately $15.50. A break above $15 could open a path toward $16, while a loss of $14 could return attention to $13 and potentially $12.20.
