Chainlink Grows TradFi Ties as LINK Price Slips

ChainLink LINK

  • Chainlink partnered with Tradeweb and Dinari to expand on-chain finance data.
  • On-chain metrics show accumulation despite bearish price action.
  • LINK could drop to $11 unless bullish momentum returns soon.

Chainlink (LINK) continues to expand its reach across traditional finance, forging key partnerships that highlight its growing role as a bridge between blockchain and real-world assets. Yet, despite a surge in social media interest and bullish sentiment, LINK’s price remains under pressure — suggesting the market has yet to fully price in the fundamentals.

New Deals with Dinari and Tradeweb Strengthen Chainlink’s Position

On November 5, Chainlink announced a partnership with Dinari, a platform specializing in tokenized U.S. equities. The collaboration aims to make the S&P Digital Markets 50 Index one of the first indexes to operate verifiably on-chain, tracking 35 U.S.-listed blockchain-focused companies and 15 major digital assets.

Just a day earlier, Chainlink revealed another major deal with Tradeweb, a global financial marketplace operator. This partnership will bring Tradeweb FTSE U.S. Treasury Benchmark Closing Prices on-chain via Chainlink’s DataLink network — a move that strengthens the oracle’s footprint within institutional finance.

On-Chain Data Hints at Accumulation, but Price Action Remains Bearish

Despite these high-profile integrations, LINK’s price action tells a different story. Data from Santiment and CryptoQuant shows a decline in exchange reserves, often a sign of accumulation, and a shift in spot taker CVD from bearish to neutral. Social volume and sentiment have also trended bullish.

However, LINK’s daily chart remains bearish. The token closed below its August swing low of $15.44, confirming a continuation of downward momentum. Indicators such as the MACD and OBV show ongoing selling pressure. Unless LINK reclaims key levels soon, analysts warn of a potential retrace toward $11.

Investors Look for Signals of a Reversal

While on-chain metrics suggest accumulation and growing optimism, the market’s price structure hasn’t confirmed a trend reversal yet. For now, investors are watching closely to see if Chainlink’s strong institutional partnerships will translate into renewed buying pressure.
