Chainlink added 6,182 new wallets over June 25–26, its strongest two-day growth run of 2026, as LINK traded near its lowest level of the year. U.Today reported Santiment data showing 3,142 new wallets on June 25 and 3,040 on June 26, the two highest single-day growth prints for LINK this year.

The total pushed LINK holders to 535,430, the highest count since December 2022. The two-day run also stands out against a typical daily baseline of a few hundred new wallets for the protocol, per Coindoo's review of Santiment data. Coinpedia described it as Chainlink's strongest consecutive network growth spike of 2026.

The divergence is the story. Wallet growth accelerated while LINK remained under price pressure. The token traded near $7.33 during the period, roughly 44% below a local high near $13 per Coinpedia. It had touched $7.04 on June 24–25, its 2026 low.

LINK also closed down 7.5% on the week. Coindoo recorded net exchange outflows of 70,200 LINK in the same window.

Coverage outlets cited Chainlink's expanding role in tokenized-asset settlement and Project Pangea, its 24/5 equity data feed initiative, as context for the inflows. Coindoo and Coinpedia identified the gap between accelerating wallet growth and year-low prices as the central data point for analysts tracking the protocol.
