Chainlink (LINK) rose 6.52% on August 21, 2026, reaching a price of $11.39 as the token continued a sustained period of upward momentum. The day's gain added to what has become one of the more notable short-term runs in the crypto market.
Over the trailing seven days, LINK advanced 29.82%, and the 30-day gain stood at 32.02%. The token's market capitalization reached $8.18 billion alongside those moves.
The price action reflects a broad and consistent climb across all three measured timeframes, with each interval showing double-digit percentage gains. The 30-day figure of 32.02% represents the longest window tracked and suggests the rally predates the more recent short-term surge.
At $11.39, LINK's market cap of $8.18 billion places it among the larger assets in the cryptocurrency space by that measure. No single catalyst was identified in the available data to account for the movement.
