The Real Catalysts for LINK May Still Be Ahead

[AIcash]

While LINK struggles in the short term, analysts are watching several developments that could reshape its trajectory. A recent SEC no-action letter approving a pilot program for tokenized assets has reignited speculation that Chainlink could play a central role in institutional on-chain infrastructure.

Grayscale’s 2026 outlook also points to LINK benefiting from the growth of stablecoins, real-world asset tokenization, and DeFi adoption. If those sectors expand as expected, Chainlink’s oracle dominance could become increasingly valuable.

For now, LINK’s price is under pressure — but ETF flows and whale behavior suggest long-term demand hasn’t gone anywhere.
