LINK Slides 15% From August Peak Even as Chainlink Reserve Removes $5.5M From Circulation
1Chainlink's native token encountered persistent bearish pressure as BTC, ETH and the broader crypto market consolidated, CoinDesk Research's model shows.
LINK, the native token of oracle service Chainlink has been under pressure recently as a number of positive headlines failed to break the decline.
The token slid another 2.8% over the past 24 hours to $22.4 while the broader market, as measured by the CoinDesk 20 Index was little changed, CoinDesk data shows. It's trading 15% lower since topping $27 on Aug. 22, despite being tapped by the U.S. government to publish economic data on the blockchain and Bitwise filing for a LINK exchange-traded fund (ETF).
The cool-off period follows a rally that saw the token booking a 37% gain in August, one of the strongest advances among major cryptos. It also coincides with bitcoin BTC$110,728.66, ether (ETH) and the broader crypto market pulling back since mid-August.
The losses occurred even though the Chainlink Reserve, an automated mechanism that buys tokens on a weekly basis, essentially taking them out of circulation and reducing supply, purchased another 43,937 LINK on Thursday. Since its debut in early August, the mechanism has bought a total of 237,014 tokens, worth $5.5 million at current prices.
