Chainlink (LINK) flexes its muscles with a 4.5% rally, outpacing the broader CoinDesk 20 Index as crypto markets shake off the mid-summer blues. Oracle networks aren’t just for ancient myths anymore.

Why LINK’s beating the pack

While traders nap on beach chairs, LINK’s price action wakes up the algo-trading desks. The token’s outperformance hints at renewed institutional interest—or maybe just another round of ‘buy the rumor’ before the next protocol upgrade.

The cynical take

Another day, another single-digit percentage gain hailed as a ‘breakout’ in crypto-land. Wall Street bankers would yawn at these numbers—if they weren’t too busy shorting their own clients.

9am CoinDesk 20 Update for 2025-07-16: vertical

Leaders: LINK (+4.5%) and HBAR (+4.4%).

Laggards: ICP (-0.4%) and SUI (+0.6%).

The CoinDesk 20 is a broad-based index traded on multiple platforms in several regions globally.
