Chainlink Shatters Records: Total Value Secured Soars Past $100 Billion Milestone

Chainlink just rewrote the rulebook—hitting a staggering $100 billion in Total Value Secured.

Why This Matters

That number isn't just big—it's a seismic shift. Chainlink's oracles now underpin more value than some national economies, proving decentralized infrastructure isn't just viable—it's essential.

Beyond the Hype

Smart contracts lean on Chainlink to bridge real-world data with blockchain execution. No fluff, no middlemen—just ironclad reliability. TradFi could learn a thing or two about transparency.

The Bottom Line

While Wall Street still debates yield curves, Chainlink's pumping real numbers. $100 billion secured? That’s not a trend—it’s a takeover.

Over 70% of Chainlink TVS on Aave v3

Chainlink’s partnership with Intercontinental Exchange and the integration of foreign exchange and precious metals rates into Data Streams are among the major moves in recent months. The U.S. Department of Commerce’s MOVE to tap Chainlink to bring economic data on-chain also recently marked another high for the oracle platform.

Per data from DeFiLlama, lending protocol AAVE accounts for the largest share of TVS at more than $70.9 billion and a market dominance level of 70.75%. That value is spread across 17 chains, with the top networks on Aave v3 being Ethereum, Arbitrum, and Base. Other lending protocols with notable Chainlink TVS are Maple, Compound v3, SparkLend, and Kamino, a Solana-based protocol.

As TVS rose, LINK has traded largely higher. On Sept. 12, the altcoin’s value hovered around $24.70, up nearly 5% in the past 24 hours and 11% in the past week.
