LINK Scarcity + Saudi Bank Adoption: Breakout Coming?
LINK is now at a true ‘break or make’ point with exchange supply at a multi-year low and big money accumulating. Saudi banking giants are opening the door for on-chain applications, adding momentum.
If BTC aims for $150,000, this could be the final sprint that pushes LINK back to $52 — or even higher!
The Next Infrastructure Wave Is Forming
Chainlink (LINK) announced that Saudi Awwal Bank — one of Saudi Arabia’s largest banks with over $100 billion in total assets – will leverage several of its services to deploy next-generation on-chain applications in Saudi Arabia. This is seen as a symbolic milestone for institutional adoption of Oracle infrastructure.
At the same time, LINK’s supply on centralized exchanges has dropped to a multi-year low — a classic signal that institutions are accumulating for the long term and pulling tokens off spot liquidity. Together, these pieces form a clear picture: Chainlink is no longer just the “oracle of DeFi” but is evolving into core infrastructure for RWAs and institutional demand.
From a market perspective, this development is both a fundamental catalyst and social proof that strengthens the narrative around LINK. As banks and large enterprises begin integrating oracles for off-chain data and payments, demand for Chainlink nodes, data feeds, and security services could grow. This drives real-world demand rather than just speculative expectations.
The shrinking exchange supply further increases LINK’s scarcity, which amplifies price volatility once capital flows back in. However, it’s crucial to distinguish between “integration announcements” and “actual capital inflows”: an announcement alone doesn’t guarantee a surge in liquidity until commercial products see widespread rollout.
Breakout or Breakdown?
Some market analysts are increasingly bullish on a so-called “old coin” like LINK. They argue that LINK has evolved from a DeFi oracle into core infrastructure for RWAs and institutional use cases. Recently, Chainlink cooperated with UBS and DigiFT to target the Chinese RWA market. Chainlink and Polymarket partner to use decentralized oracles for faster, more reliable market prediction bet resolutions on-chain.
Based on this setup, one analyst projects that LINK could reach $52 by year-end — its previous all-time high. At the current price, LINK remains roughly 56% below its ATH.
“With $BTC aiming for $150K, LINK only needs to repeat its last 2.5 months of growth to get there. ATH will be tough resistance, but the setup looks strong,” the analyst affirmed.
Another analyst points out that LINK is forming a classic double bottom pattern, with price testing the key resistance — the so-called “neckline.” A confirmed breakout above this level would indicate a major bullish trend reversal.
Another X user shared a humorous take on market reactions. LINK’s price often moves modestly when a major company adopts Chainlink. This is partly because Chainlink is already considered a default infrastructure layer for enterprise-grade on-chain integration — meaning much of this adoption is already priced in, or capital allocation happens gradually rather than via instant pumps.
“If this was any other coin it would of had a giga candle but since it’s $LINK it’s pretty standard to have crazy companies use its services,” the user remarked.
