- Chainlink has announced on its X account that the network now has 12 new integrations, including Optimism and the Astar Network.
- Henry Lord of Alts predicts that Chainlink could be on its way up to $30 after months of sliding prices.
As we mentioned in our recent update, Chainlink just entered a partnership with Mastercard, aiming to open up crypto access to over 3 billion cardholders worldwide. This is backed by key players like Swapper Finance, Zerohash, Shift4 Payments, and XSwap, all working together to support the Chainlink-Mastercard alliance.
At its core, Chainlink provides the secure interoperability technology that makes it all possible. And it doesn’t stop there. The Chainlink team has now announced 12 new integrations of the Chainlink standard across four services and 11 different blockchains, marking a significant step forward for the network’s growing ecosystem.
This comes just after Henry, Lord of Alts, a crypto analyst, posted on X explaining that, ” LINK has been through months of downtrend and silence. But something is changing. The downtrend is broken, guys, and the price is now moving through a clear accumulation and consolidation phase.
These zones often come before the loudest moves. We all know what is coming next. If this kicks in, a breakout toward $25–30 wouldn’t be surprising for me.”
According to our market data, Chainlink has gained an impressive 11% over the last seven days but has experienced a marginal drop in the past 24 hours, currently trading at $13.28. The tokens trading volume has also increased by 64% in the past day to now stand at $293 million, as it ranks as the 14th largest token with a market capitalization of $9 billion.
Henry referenced his analysis, citing a chart that suggests $12.66 is currently acting as a support zone for LINK. Also, $19.67 is the next resistance level, and if LINK manages to break above this, we may see it surge to $30 and come close to its all-time high of $52.
Network of Integrations
Even before this round of integrations, Chainlink was working with some of the biggest names in crypto. It had secured partnerships with leading blockchains like Ethereum (ETH), Arbitrum (ARB), Base, BNB Chain, HashKey Chain, HyperEVM, and Solana.
Each of these networks depends on Chainlink’s reliable, decentralized data feeds to keep their ecosystems running smoothly, supporting everything from lending protocols to prediction markets and synthetic assets.
For instance, Soneium uses Chainlink’s Functions and Verifiable Random Function (VRF) to give developers access to real-world data and trusted randomness. WEMIX, on the other hand, has tapped into Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol to enable seamless USDC transfers directly from Ethereum, without the need for wrapping or risky centralized bridges.
In this latest expansion, Chainlink has integrated with platforms spanning Layer-1 blockchains, DeFi protocols, and infrastructure projects. Astar Network, pushing Web3 adoption in Asia since launching its mainnet in January 2022, joins the lineup, alongside Briky Capital, a digital asset fund using Chainlink for secure and reliable price feeds.

Also joining the list is Euler Finance, a non-custodial DeFi lending protocol, and HSK Chain, a newer Layer-1 blockchain gaining traction in Asia. Lending-focused Hyperlendx and OlympusDAO, which is known for its innovative protocol-owned liquidity model, are now also part of the Chainlink fold.
As CNF reported, the network’s reach into sustainability is deepening with Plumenetwork, which combines blockchain and carbon credits, while SwapperFinance integrates Chainlink oracles to power its decentralized exchange.
SynFuturesDeFi represents the derivatives sector with its demand for real-time data. Altogether, these additions demonstrate the growing centrality of Chainlink across multiple sectors, including DeFi, climate tech, digital assets, and gaming.
