Chainlink Price Surges to 2021 Highs as Trump's World Liberty Expands Holdings

Chainlink (LINK) approaches $30 as World Liberty Financial, backed by Trump, increases its investment to $2 million.

Chainlink's price is nearing $30 this Friday morning in Asia, as recent data indicates a spike in open interest (OI) in token futures, surpassing $860 million.

Key Highlights:

  • World Liberty Financial recently purchased an additional $1 million worth of LINK, marking the second consecutive day of investment.
  • LINK is now the fourth-largest holding for World Liberty Financial, following ether (ETH), bitcoin (BTC), and tether (USDT).
  • The ongoing purchases by World Liberty are contributing to a significant price increase, with LINK up 22% in the past week and over 130% since they began acquiring Chainlink in November.

Background

Donald Trump-backed World Liberty Financial has ramped up its investment in Chainlink's LINK tokens. Their latest acquisition brings their total holdings to $2 million in LINK tokens. They have also invested about $246,000 in Aave’s AAVE, totaling to $1.2 million across their crypto holdings.
