Chainlink's LINK Rallies 12% to New 2025 High Amid Token Buyback, Broader Crypto Rally
Oracle network Chainlink's (LINK) native token sharply rebounded with the broader crypto market following Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's dovish remarks in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
LINK rallied 12% over the past 24 hours, hitting $27.8, its strongest price since December. Bitcoin BTC$116,870.71 appreciated 3.5% during the same period, while the broad-market CoinDesk 20 index jumped 6.5%.
In protocol-specific news, Chainlink obtained two major security certifications this week: ISO 27001 and a SOC 2 Type 1 attestation, marking a first for a blockchain oracle platform. The audits, carried out by Deloitte, covered Chainlink’s price feeds, proof-of-reserve services and the Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP).
The oracle provider says the move strengthens trust in its data services and can bolster adoption among banks, asset issuers and decentralized finance protocols.
Further supporting the rally, the Chainlink Reserve, which periodically purchases LINK tokens on the open market using protocol revenues, bought 41,000 tokens on Thursday, worth roughly $1 million at that time. That brought total holdings to 150,778 tokens, around $4.1 million at current prices.
