Chainlink (LINK) climbed 0.92% over the past 24 hours to reach $9.50, according to market data recorded on August 17, 2026. The modest single-day move came atop a more substantial weekly advance, with the token up 14.80% over the prior seven days.
The 30-day gain of 14.76% closely mirrors the seven-day figure, suggesting that much of Chainlink's recent momentum concentrated in the back half of the month. The token's market capitalization stood at $7.1 billion at the time of measurement.
