Chainlink Skyrockets 50% in Two Weeks—Now the Undisputed King of Large-Cap RWA Plays
Chainlink isn’t just climbing—it’s mooning. A jaw-dropping 50% surge in just 14 days cements its dominance in the real-world asset (RWA) space. Move over, legacy finance—the oracle network just rewrote the rulebook.
Why the frenzy? Institutional money’s finally waking up to the fact that smart contracts need real-world data. Chainlink’s decentralized oracles are the bridge, and Wall Street’s starting to pay tolls.
Let’s be real—the ‘RWA narrative’ was getting stale until LINK decided to show the crypto crowd how it’s done. No vaporware, no empty promises—just price action that’d make a TradFi quant spill their overpriced coffee.
The kicker? This isn’t some meme-fueled pump. With actual enterprise adoption ticking up, Chainlink might be one of the few crypto projects that doesn’t vanish when the regulatory hammer drops. Cynical take: Watch the ‘serious investors’ who mocked crypto now FOMO into LINK like it’s a blue-chip stock.
Chainlink Is A Top Bet
There are several factors that could drive explosive growth for Chainlink. Firstly, the massive expansion of the tokenized RWA sector is now worth more than $25 billion. Even the POTUS is pumping RWAs.

Additionally, institutions recognize that the legacy SWIFT system is slow and broken, and they don’t want fulfillment fragmentation, he said before adding:
This is why Wall Street giants like BlackRock are pushing for tokenization and why corporations like Stripe and Circle are building their own chains.
“The fragmented, multi-chain world requires a universal translator, and chainlink provides the solution.”
Chainlink has an 84% market share of the oracle market on ethereum and a 68% market share across all of DeFi, positioning it as the industry standard for price oracles.
Deutscher concluded that Chainlink already has TradFi integrations and has a robust tokenomics model that generates a flywheel effect with a “perpetual, automated buyback mechanism, turning adoption directly into buying pressure.”

“It’s hard to know what the winning layer-1 will be, especially with the raft of new corporate chains entering the market, and we also don’t know what the winning RWA DApp will be,” he said before concluding:
“But we know that Chainlink is powering it all. It becomes the ultimate pick-and-shovel play.”
LINK Price Outlook
LINK prices have returned to $24 over the past day or so, adding a whopping 50% since the beginning of the month, just two weeks ago.
Analysts are now talking about three-figure price targets, but LINK remains down 55% from its May 2021 all-time high of $52.70, so it has a long way to go. The asset now needs to break resistance at $30, where it was last halted in December.
Meanwhile, on-chain activity has also surged with the most active LINK addresses in 8 months, and most whale transactions in 7 months, reported Santiment.
