“Chainlink” (LINK) is back at the forefront of cryptocurrency community discussions after hitting its highest level of social interaction in five weeks, according to new data.
This new interest comes on the heels of a “datastream” upgrade that allows for near real-time delivery of U.S. stock and ETF prices 24 hours a day, five days a week.
The update allows DeFi applications to track pre-market trades, official trades, after-hours trades and even overnight trades, a move aimed at reducing one of the most significant barriers to integrating traditional financial markets with blockchain.
This development solidifies Chainlink’s position as critical infrastructure on the path to tokenized finance.
Santiment said the increase in social interaction around LINK despite broader market weakness suggests interest is focused on the project’s structural role rather than short-term price action.
On the other hand, data shows the proportion of negative comments is rising, approaching levels not seen in more than a year, reflecting growing caution despite heated discussions.
In terms of development, Chainlink continues to lead DeFi projects in terms of software development activity, with major GitHub activities showing a steady upward trend since the launch of the project.
Despite widespread caution, some industry leaders believe LINK is undervalued.
Bitwise investment director Matt Hogan described Chainlink as an important but misunderstood asset, arguing that it is not just a “data oracle”, but a software platform that connects blockchains to real-world systems and data, and supports key areas such as stablecoins, DeFi, coding and prediction markets, and is adopted by major institutions.
