Chainlink News: Record LINK ETF Streak Adds Fresh Market Pressure
Chainlink News: Four Major Tokenized Stock Platforms Now Use Chainlink
Today's Chainlink news centers on two threads moving at once: LINK spot ETFs just posted their longest-ever inflow streak, and Chainlink's oracle infrastructure now officially spans four major tokenized equities platforms. LINK itself trades at $11.55, holding most of its recent gains.
Record 8-Day LINK ETF Inflow Streak
Per data tracked through SoSoValue, LINK spot ETFs are now on an 8-day net inflow streak, the longest since these products launched. August's numbers stand out on their own:
Metric | Value |
Monthly net inflow (August) | $18.27 million, the highest of any month since launch |
Total net assets | $170.25 million |
Share of LINK's total supply held by ETFs | 2.05%, more than 1 in every 50 tokens |
LINK reference price during the streak | $11.31 |
That 2.05% figure is worth sitting with. It means institutional ETF wrappers now hold a meaningfully larger slice of circulating LINK than they did even a few months ago, and the pace of that accumulation has been accelerating through August rather than leveling off.
Powering Coinbase, Robinhood and More
Chainlink's official account confirmed today that its oracle infrastructure now underpins four of the largest tokenized stock and ETF platforms:
Coinbase
Robinhood
xStocks
Ondo
Per Chainlink's own statements, this coverage runs through two of its core products: Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) and Data Streams. Together, these let platforms turn what would otherwise be standalone equity tokens into pieces that other DeFi protocols can actually use, rather than static, isolated assets.
The Coinbase side of this builds directly on Chainlink's earlier confirmation, from August 24, that it powers price infrastructure for Coinbase's tokenized US stock product on Base. Today's update adds a specific new layer to that: Chainlink is now enabling DeFi protocols to securely accept Coinbase's tokenized stocks as collateral on Base, turning those tokens into what Chainlink describes as fully composable building blocks rather than assets that just sit in a wallet.
LINK Price and Reserve Update Today
LINK trades at $11.55, up 1.71% over the past 24 hours, according to CoinMarketCap data. Other current metrics:
Metric | Value |
Market cap | $8.64 billion, up 1.71% |
24-hour volume | $336.2 million, down 17.82% |
Volume/Market cap (24h) | 3.97% |
Fully diluted valuation | $11.55 billion |
Liquidity/Market cap | 0.60% |
Total and max supply | 1 billion LINK |
Circulating supply | 748.09 million LINK |
That's a modest pullback from LINK's $11.77 level reported a day earlier, though the token remains well above where it traded before its recent monthly climb. The combination of a cooling 24-hour volume figure alongside a record ETF inflow streak suggests the current buying pressure is coming more from steady institutional accumulation than from short-term retail trading activity.
Conclusion
Today's Chainlink news shows institutional demand and real-world infrastructure adoption moving in the same direction at once. A record 8-day ETF inflow streak, LINK ETFs now holding over 2% of total supply, and official confirmation across four major tokenized equities platforms all point to Chainlink's expanding role as core infrastructure, even as LINK's own price cools slightly from yesterday's level.
