Chainlink (LINK) has seen a 25% increase in whale holdings over the past year, with the number of wallets holding over one million LINK tokens rising from 100 to 125. This growth in large holders indicates strong accumulation and confidence among major investors, despite LINK's price remaining in a narrow range due to broader market pressures and geopolitical tensions. Institutional adoption has bolstered Chainlink's on-chain growth, with the Chainlink Reserve adding over 137,004 LINK, valued at $1.17 million, bringing total reserve holdings to 2.93 million LINK. This tightening of supply, coupled with increased institutional activity, could support potential upward price movement. Analysts are closely monitoring whale activity and technical indicators for signs of a breakout, which could push LINK toward $27 if momentum builds.
