Whale Accumulation and LINK Reserve Demand Grow
Crypto analyst Ali Martinez reported that large holders have accumulated more than 13 million Chainlink tokens over the past two weeks.
The accumulation comes despite broader market weakness, suggesting that whales are taking advantage of the recent price dip.

On the other hand, the Chainlink Foundation is buying back LINK tokens as part of its reserve plans, thereby arresting further downside. The Chainlink Reserve is financed through revenue generated from both on-chain and off-chain services. It effectively reduces the circulating supply of LINK in the market and supports stronger demand for the token.
The recent buyback of 63,481 LINK tokens on Thursday, the second-largest inflow since inception, has helped stabilize Chainlink’s price and prevent further losses.
As of Friday, the Chainlink Reserve holds 586,641 LINK, valued at approximately $10.2 million.
