Chainlink Sees Surge in Adoption After LayerZero Exploit, Pepeto Presale Raises $10 Million
Chainlink's CCIP has become a hub for DeFi protocols following the LayerZero exploit, with over $4 billion in value shifted to the oracle network. The migration of Lombard Finance to Chainlink is a significant development, highlighting the growing importance of the platform.
Pepeto, a presale exchange built by the Pepe coin co-founder, has raised over $10 million and is offering stronger returns than LINK's predicted price. Analysts expect LINK to reach $15.65 by December 2026, but Pepeto's presale entry offers more potential before its approaching Binance listing.
The DTCC integration of Chainlink for real-time collateral management and the AWS Marketplace distribution of Chainlink data feeds to thousands of businesses also support the growth of the oracle network.
