A happy day for LINK owners today as a hefty growth spurt of over 15% in the last 24 hours takes Chainlink’s LINK token to $25, a new all-time high.
Eagle-eyed Link Marines (holders and champions of the coin of the realm) saw the writing on the wall at the start of the week, when LINK dabbled briefly with prices of $22 to $23 on Monday and Tuesday.
Today, LINK set a new high watermark of $25.45 at 3:41 PM UTC, settling on a market cap of over $10 billion. Its current price is $25.13.
LINK’s performance, however, is as volatile as the tempers of the Link Marines. LINK hit a new all-time high of $21 on January 15, only to crash by 20% some three hours later.
Still, while Bitcoin’s bull run attracted much gushing from all quarters, Chainlink had an even bigger year, exploding 1300% from a mere $1.77 on New Year’s Day 2020 to its current ATH.
Bitcoin briefly plunged to a low of $28,900 this week, bringing it back down to the price it traded at on New Year’s Eve, 2020.
Bitcoin isn't the only coin seeing red recently. Namesakes Bitcoin SV and Bitcoin Cash are both down 3% in the last 24 hours. This continues a pullback from both Bitcoin offshoots, which suffered approximately 15% losses over the last week.
Meanwhile, Polkadot (DOT), the fourth biggest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, has risen by 3% in the past 24 hours. In addition, Aave’s AAVE and Tezos’s XTZ increased by 10%, making them the 17th and 18th largest coins by market cap, respectively.

"New York is the Empire State. We don't break empires—we build empires. We're saying to you: come back home,” he said during a stop at the Bitcoin 2025 conference. “You have a mayor who is the crypto mayor, is the Bitcoin mayor, and I want you back in the city of New York,...
The Bank of Korea is considering linking its deposit tokens to a public blockchain, a move that would position its state-backed digital currency alongside private-sector stablecoins operating on open networks. The tokens will be “a type of stablecoin issued within the digital currency system built and operated by the Bank of Korea,” the bank’s Deputy Governor Lee Jong-ryeol said in a statement Decrypt has confirmed with local sources. "We are considering a direction in which it will coexist with...
