Chainlink Surges to Six-Month High As Total Value Secured Tops $93B

Key Insights

Chainlink’s total value secured has risen 90% in 2025 to exceed $93 billion across decentralized finance protocols.

The launch of Chainlink Data Streams and Chainlink Reserve has supported recent LINK price gains and network growth.

A new partnership with Intercontinental Exchange will bring real-time, onchain pricing data for forex and precious metals.

Chainlink’s price rose more than 8% in the past 24 hours, reaching an intraday peak of $24.07. This marks the highest level for the LINK token since February 1, 2025. The gains have elevated Chainlink into the top performers among the largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization.

The rally comes as the network’s total value secured climbed above $93 billion. This metric represents the combined value of assets secured by Chainlink’s oracle network across hundreds of decentralized finance protocols. It includes canonical bridges, externally bridged assets, and native tokens. Data from Token Relations shows the total value secured has grown by 90% since the start of 2025.

Growth Driven by New Services

Chainlink’s recent network upgrades have contributed to the positive market sentiment. The introduction of Chainlink Data Streams is aimed at enhancing real-time data delivery for decentralized applications. Alongside this, the platform has rolled out Chainlink Reserve, a program designed to establish a strategic onchain reserve of LINK tokens. The initiative is funded by offchain revenue from enterprise adoption of the Chainlink standard, as well as onchain service fees. As of August 7, 2025, the reserve had accumulated more than $1 million.

Further momentum has come from a newly announced collaboration between Chainlink and Intercontinental Exchange, the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange. This partnership will enable real-time, onchain pricing data for foreign exchange markets and precious metals, expanding the use cases for Chainlink’s oracle technology.

LINK last traded near $30 in December 2024 and reached its all-time high of $52.88 in May 2021. The current rally positions the token within reach of levels not seen since late last year, supported by rapid network growth and increased adoption of its services.
