Oracle network Chainlink’s (LINK) native token showed remarkable strength during the Wednesday session as cryptocurrencies attempted to bounce back from yesterday’s carnage<\/a>.<\/p>\n

LINK topped $26, gaining 8.3% over the past 24 hours and erasing Tuesday’s losses. It vastly outperformed most large-cap cryptos, including bitcoin’s (BTC) modest 0.5% and ether’s (ETH) 4% rebound during the same period.<\/p>\n

The crypto market benchmark CoinDesk 20 Index was up 1.5%.<\/p>\n

The token’s relative strength underscores Chainlink’s improving appeal to crypto investors as a key piece of infrastructure connecting traditional markets with blockchain rails, benefiting from accelerating institutional adoption.<\/p>\n

Sergey Nazarov, co-founder of Chainlink, said<\/a> on Tuesday he met with U.S. Senator Tim Scott, Chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, leading the effort to bring the market structure bill to the Senate. <\/p>\n

“This new version of the market structure bill has many advantages over past versions, enabling our industry to rapidly grow in the U.S. with fewer limitations,” Nazarov said in an X post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Chainlink Reserve, an initiative that channels revenue from protocol integrations and services to buy LINK tokens, mirroring public companies’ share buyback programs, also supports the token’s price.<\/p>\n

The facility has accumulated 109,664 tokens worth roughly $2.8 million in two weeks and it’s poised to execute the next weekly purchase on Thursday, data<\/a> shows.<\/p>\n

LINK showcased exceptional price momentum throughout the 24-hour session, successfully breaking critical resistance zones on heightened trading volume before transitioning into a consolidation phase, according to CoinDesk’s Research’s technical analysis data.<\/p>\n
