Chainlink's On-Chain Surge Defies Exchange Supply Downturn

Chainlink's recent on-chain activity has reached unprecedented levels, with over 280,000 active addresses in just two days. To put this into perspective, the network's historical baseline is around 3,000 daily active addresses, making this surge a 93-fold increase.

CryptoOnchain analyzed the data and found that despite this massive spike in activity, Binance's LINK reserve has been declining steadily over the past 14 days. This suggests that holders are moving their coins into self-custody or smart contracts rather than selling them on exchanges.

The supply implication of this trend is significant. As more tokens move into self-custody, the liquid float available for immediate sale decreases, creating a potential supply shortage that could lead to price appreciation in the future.
