Over $120 Million Chainlink Exit Exchanges, What Is Happening?

Decentralized blockchain oracle network Chainlink (LINK) is again in the spotlight amid price discovery. According to reports, large amounts of LINK have exited crypto exchanges over the past month. The movement totals over $120 million and draws attention from analysts, traders, and the wider crypto community. 

LINK Exchange Outflows Raise Eyebrows

According to blockchain analytics platform IntoTheBlock on X, Chainlink has seen over $120 million of LINK withdrawn from exchanges over the last 30 days. The data, backed by charts, points to a clear trend: more LINK now leaves trading platforms than is entering.

It is worth noting that this type of market behavior is often recognized as a sign that holders are moving their assets to cold wallets or private storage. Based on historical trends, it also means that investors plan to hold for the long term, rather than selling in the short term. A lower LINK supply on exchanges can also set the stage for a potential price increase, especially if demand matches up.

While this exchange trend shows positive accumulation, LINK whale selloffs are also not uncommon in the industry. A mix of exchange withdrawals and selloffs helps the oracle maintain the needed liquidity balance.

Chainlink Price Amid Bitcoin-Led Rally

As Bitcoin leads the broader market, LINK is also riding the bullish trend. Chainlink price recently surpassed the $12.50 support threshold, which has shaped its price momentum in the short term.

Earlier this year, renowned crypto analyst CRYPTOWZRD pointed out that this price point has demonstrated fundamental resistance during previous periods.

Still, another market analysis suggests that Chainlink could reach $26 by the end of the year. 

However, these numbers are based heavily on Bitcoin’s performance. If Bitcoin sees another major price milestone, Chainlink may feel the ripple effect. Historically, when Bitcoin rallies, altcoins often follow the trend. 

Meanwhile, any market weakness could also slow LINK’s momentum. For now, CoinMarketCap data pegs the price of Chainlink at $13.87, up by 3.42%, with a market capitalization of $13.81 billion.

Ecosystem Is Growing Behind the Scene

While the LINK price and exchange flows gain attention, Chainlink’s broader ecosystem expands.

On April 21, 2025, the Digital Chamber announced that Chainlink Labs has joined its Executive Committee. This move places the project closer to regulatory discussions and helps shape blockchain policy development.

The next day, Monad revealed that Chainlink tools will be available on its mainnet from launch. This includes Chainlink’s data feeds and cross-chain technology. In addition, Chainlink is now working with major players such as Swift, DTCC, and Fidelity. 

These partnerships and their integration with platforms like Aave and Lido show that Chainlink is building more than just price momentum. Another notable development is Chainlink’s push for tokenized real-world assets (RWAs).

Earlier in March, Chainlinked partnered with ADGM, the Abu Dhabi Global Market, to advance tokenization. These ecosystem trends can boost the price of LINK.
