The wider cryptocurrency market has been under severe selling pressure in the last three to four days, falling below the $800 billion market cap. However, a few altcoins such as Tron (TRX), Chainlink (LINK) and Litecoin(LTC) have seen renewed investor interest, thus defying the market correction.
Although Bitcoin and Ethereum were in heavy correction on Monday, Chainlink (LINK), an oracle service provider, saw a strong uptick. Chainlink (LINK), which trades at $6.07, is up 5.96% as of press time. This is because Chainlink’s address activity is on the rise. On-chain data provider Santiment reported:
Chainlink rose a mild +3% Monday, despite #Bitcoin and #Ethereum falling. The main story is the sudden surge in active addresses at $LINK, which began around the time of the @FTX_Official fallsout and is still at a one-year high.
