LINK rose more than 50% in two weeks to $25.1, driven by Chainlink’s August launch of its LINK Reserve Program, which converts oracle and enterprise service income into reserves now exceeding $1 million, aimed at creating a supply shock via continued buybacks. On-chain data revealed significant whale accumulation, with four addresses adding 580,995 LINK (~$13.86M) in 24 hours, and address 0x4EB holding 721,294 LINK (~$16.43M). Large transactions reached a seven-month high, signaling heightened confidence from major investors. On August 11, Chainlink partnered with ICE to integrate FX and precious metals pricing data into its Data Streams.
