Chainlink’s LINK token has climbed nearly 50% over the past month, with the latest rally pushing its price above $12 as partnerships with financial institutions and U.S. government entities strengthens the market’s focus on the network’s role in traditional finance. LINK gained about 8% in 24 hours on September 4, bringing its market capitalization to roughly $9 billion and placing it among the largest crypto assets by market value. The move has coincided with a broader crypto recovery but has also been supported by several developments involving Chainlink’s infrastructure.
