Chainlink's LINK token surged 38.6% in August 2025, fueled by a strategic partnership with Japan's SBI Group and increased investor demand. The collaboration aims to boost blockchain adoption in the Asia-Pacific region by tokenizing real-world assets such as real estate and bonds using Chainlink's Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol. On-chain activity for LINK has shown significant growth, with new and active addresses reaching levels similar to its 2024 rally. The Network Value to Transactions Signal (NVTS) indicates a bullish trend, aligning with past successful periods. The partnership with SBI, which manages over $200 billion in assets, is expected to enhance LINK's opportunities in cross-border payments and tokenized securities.
