The increase in the number of these large LINK wallets coincides with a remarkable surge in the value of LINK, the native asset of the Chainlink project, soaring to its highest point in the last 19 months.
Chainlink, an entity functioning as a decentralized oracle provider, has seen its native asset, LINK, surpass the $13 mark on Monday, marking a price level not observed since April 2022.
Presently, LINK is trading at $13.07, reflecting an increase of nearly 8% in the past 24 hours and a notable surge of over 72% throughout the last month. This puts LINK in the 13th position among cryptocurrencies by market capitalization.
There is speculation among analysts that the upward trend for LINK might be just beginning.

Some believe that concerns about potentially missed opportunities to invest in LINK may not hold weight in the long run, as the current price range might appear trivial in the context of future market growth within one to two years.
Apart from the surge in LINK holdings, the analytics firm also notes an increase in holdings of XRP in wallets containing between 100,000 and 1 billion units. These wallets are currently at their highest accumulation levels for this year.
