- Chainlink’s LINK token surged over 8% to $24.07, hitting a six-month high as the network’s total value secured jumped 90% this year to surpass $93.5 billion.
- The rally is fueled by major upgrades like Chainlink Data Streams, the launch of Chainlink Reserve, and a high-profile partnership with Intercontinental Exchange for real-time onchain market data
Chainlink’s native token LINK has surged over 13% in the past 24 hours, climbing to intraday highs of $24.07. Notably this has seen the asset mark its strongest price level since February 1, 2025.
The rally comes as the blockchain oracle protocol reaches a significant new milestone: its total value secured (TVS) has surpassed $93 billion.
According to data shared by Chainlink on X, the platform’s TVS, which represents the total value of assets secured by its infrastructure, has jumped 90% year-to-date in 2025.
Chainlink has hit a new all-time high in Total Value Secured (TVS), reaching $93+ billion across hundreds of DeFi protocols.

Currently standing at over $93.5 billion, the figure covers hundreds of decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols, including canonical bridges, externally bridged assets, and native tokens secured through Chainlink’s network.
This remarkable growth has propelled LINK into the upper ranks of the top 100 largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, with analysts pointing to both macro-level DeFi adoption and targeted Chainlink innovations as catalysts for the price movement.
Network Upgrades Fueling the Surge
Beyond market-wide momentum, Chainlink has made a series of strategic product launches and partnerships that appear to be bolstering investor confidence. Recent highlights include the introduction of Chainlink Data Streams, which now deliver real-time data for U.S. equities and ETFs.
This service is designed to enhance DeFi protocol performance and accuracy, particularly in markets requiring high-frequency updates.
Another major initiative is Chainlink Reserve, an upgrade aimed at creating a strategic onchain reserve of LINK tokens. This program will use revenue from both offchain enterprise adoption and onchain services to purchase and accumulate LINK, reinforcing the network’s long-term sustainability.
As of August 7, 2025, Chainlink reported that over $1 million had already been accumulated through this initiative.
High-Profile Partnerships
In one of the week’s most notable announcements, Chainlink revealed a partnership with Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange.
This collaboration will provide real-time, onchain pricing data for global foreign exchange markets and precious metals, expanding Chainlink’s role as the premier oracle provider for both traditional and decentralized financial systems.
Such developments add to Chainlink’s growing portfolio of integrations, reinforcing its position as the infrastructure backbone for the DeFi sector and beyond.
While LINK’s current price still sits below its December peak of nearly $30 and far from its all-time high of $52.88 in May 2021, the combination of rapid TVS growth, institutional partnerships, and product innovation suggests a strengthening foundation for future gains.
With its TVS milestone and recent announcements, Chainlink is signaling that it intends to remain a dominant force in the blockchain data space, a position that could keep LINK on bullish trajectories in the months ahead.
