Chainlink Surges 8% on $93 Billion TVS Milestone and ICE Partnership

Chainlink’s native token, LINK, surged to an intraday high of $24.07 on August 12, 2025, marking its highest level since February 1 of the same year [1]. The rally coincided with a significant increase in the total value secured (TVS) by the Chainlink oracle network, which surpassed $93 billion across decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols. This metric, representing the combined value of assets secured by Chainlink’s oracle services, has grown by 90% since the beginning of 2025 [1].

The recent price surge and network growth have been driven by the introduction of key upgrades and partnerships. Chainlink Data Streams, a product designed to deliver real-time data for decentralized applications, has enhanced the platform’s utility. Additionally, the Chainlink Reserve initiative, funded by offchain enterprise revenue and onchain service fees, aims to establish a strategic onchain reserve of LINK tokens. As of August 7, 2025, the reserve had accumulated over $1 million [1].

A major development contributing to the momentum is Chainlink’s partnership with Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange. Under the collaboration, Chainlink will provide real-time onchain pricing data for forex and precious metals, expanding the oracle network’s use cases and reinforcing its role in bridging traditional and decentralized finance [1].

LINK’s performance has placed it among the top-performing large-cap cryptocurrencies by market capitalization over the past 24 hours. The token has risen more than 8% during this period, indicating strong investor confidence in the platform’s growth trajectory [1].

The current price action suggests that Chainlink is regaining ground from previous levels last seen in late 2024, when the token traded near $30. While it remains well below its all-time high of $52.88 in May 2021, the recent developments—particularly the TVS milestone and strategic partnerships—highlight the network’s expanding footprint and adoption. As DeFi continues to evolve, Chainlink’s ability to provide reliable data infrastructure will likely remain a key factor in sustaining its growth [1].
