Chainlink (LINK) has seen a significant increase in whale wallet accumulation as institutional adoption of tokenized finance accelerates. Recent data from Santiment reveals that the number of wallets holding at least 100,000 LINK has reached a record 805, with each holding valued at approximately $958,000. This trend indicates a shift towards long-term network relevance and institutional infrastructure demand, despite broader market volatility. In addition to whale accumulation, leveraged positions in LINK have also intensified. Hyperliquid wallets have opened aggressive 10x leveraged LINK longs, with combined exposure exceeding $2.5 million. Notably, wallet 0x3109 holds nearly 162,000 LINK, while wallet 0x5687 controls 108,000 LINK, both placing substantial buy orders below current spot levels. This activity suggests that larger traders anticipate further growth in LINK's utility-driven structure, supported by ongoing institutional interest and tokenization efforts.
