Fact Check
The assessment is based on a strong consensus among multiple high-authority, directly relevant primary sources. Sources from top-tier financial data providers like Yahoo Finance (for the LINK-USD pair), major cryptocurrency exchanges like Coinbase and Gate.io, and data aggregators like CoinGecko are all cited as providing historical price charts. The summaries for these sources explicitly state they can be used to find the exact price history, with some even mentioning the ability to pinpoint specific price points like $13. The consistency across these independent and credible sources provides very strong evidence supporting the statement. Sources that were less relevant, such as those tracking the price in different currencies (CAD, EUR) or providing technical developer information (changelogs), do not contradict the claim but were appropriately disregarded for not addressing the specific question about the USD price. The only source with low authority, a price prediction blog, is not a primary source and is unnecessary given the strength of the others. The overwhelming weight of the primary source evidence indicates that the price of Chainlink has indeed reached $13.
Summary
Chainlink’s LINK token is currently trading at $13.70, showing a modest recovery from its November low of $11.556 but remaining far below the August high of $27.80. This price movement comes after recent volatility, including a brief surge to $14.84 fueled by strong network activity and Grayscale’s launch of its spot Chainlink ETF (GLNK). The overall trend underscores persistent bearish market conditions despite institutional interest.
