These payments are then automatically converted into LINK using Chainlink’s decentralized exchange infrastructure. As a result, the Reserve grows steadily with real revenue, supporting the network’s long-term stability.
Additionally, Chainlink’s recent strategic partnership with the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), parent company of the New York Stock Exchange, further strengthens the Reserve.
This collaboration is expected to integrate institutional-grade foreign exchange (FX) and precious metals data into Chainlink’s on-chain Data Streams, potentially boosting enterprise adoption.

Despite the recent dip, Chainlink’s price is still performing well, holding above the 50-day and 200-day moving averages. Short-term price forecasts for LINK range from $10.86 to $22.64, with analysts predicting further growth in the coming years, potentially reaching $30-$40 by 2027. Long-term projections even suggest LINK could surpass $120 by 2030.
On-chain metrics have reinforced the positive sentiment around Chainlink. Whale accumulation has increased, and exchange supply has dropped, signaling stronger demand.
