Coinbase has chosen Chainlink's Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol as the exclusive bridge for its wrapped assets, which hold about $7 billion in market capitalization. This integration aims to enhance cross-chain transfers and security for tokens like cbBTC and cbETH. Meanwhile, Chainlink's price shows signs of stabilization around $13.6 to $13.7, hinting at potential bullish momentum.
Chainlink's cryptocurrency token, LINK, has stabilized in the $13.6 to $13.7 price range after weeks of market volatility. Market analyst HolderStat notes that this equilibrium reflects balanced buying and selling pressures, with the token forming higher lows on shorter timeframes. Such patterns indicate easing selling pressure and a gradual shift toward buyer control, suggesting steady accumulation by traders in anticipation of an upward breakout.
HolderStat points to the $14.8 to $15 zone as the next significant resistance level, where past selling dominated. A successful breakout and hold above $15 could challenge recent bearish trends and spark further price gains.
In a major development, Coinbase announced the selection of Chainlink's Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) as the sole bridge for its Coinbase Wrapped Assets. These assets, including cbBTC, cbETH, cbDOGE, cbLTC, cbADA, and cbXRP, now total roughly $7 billion in market capitalization. The move supports seamless and secure transfers across blockchains, promoting adoption in areas like decentralized finance, gaming, payments, and other on-chain applications while maintaining institutional standards.
Adding to Chainlink's momentum, the first U.S.-listed Chainlink ETF has received Federal Register approval for trading on NYSE Arca. This follows Grayscale's approval to convert its Chainlink Trust into a tradable product, broadening access for institutional and mainstream investors through regulated markets.
These advancements come amid broader cryptocurrency market dynamics, positioning Chainlink for expanded utility and investor interest.
