Chainlink's (LINK) token has been on a steady rise since late June after it formed the bullish double-bottom pattern near $5.
At the time of publication, LINK was trading at $8.04, up 5.96% in the last 24 hours and 18.24% on the weekly time frame. Whales, or large holders, might have partly fueled LINK's price increase in the past month, on-chain data suggests.

Chainlink boasts significant development
Chainlink's development has accelerated in the last month. Chainlink's Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) was just introduced on the mainnet.
Developers can currently use the CCIP protocol on five testnets: Arbitrum Goerli, Avalanche Fuji, Ethereum Sepolia, Optimism Goerli and Polygon Mumbai.
CCIP, which is powered by Chainlink's decentralized oracle networks, is a simple interoperability protocol for developing cross-chain apps and services.
The protocol is powered by the same security paradigm that powers pricing oracles, which are supposed to be resistant to flash-loan attacks and other generally recognized vulnerabilities.
