Chainlink remains under whales' radar

According to WhaleStats data, Chainlink (LINK) ranks among the top tokens purchased by whales in the last 24 hours. The cryptocurrency market tumbled alongside traditional markets in a sell-off that saw longs liquidated. Bitcoin and the majority of altcoins were losing value at press time.

Also, LINK remains the most traded token, Uniswap the most widely held and FTT the biggest token position by USD value among the top 1,000 ETH wallets tracked by WhaleStats.

Large investors typically use dip periods to accumulate their favorite tokens. Blockchain data tracker WhaleStats reports Chainlink (LINK) buying in the last 20 hours. The most recent buy is of an Ethereum whale ranking 35th among the top 1,000 wallets, who acquired 99,990 LINK, or $1,364,863 worth.

Several projects are currently leveraging Chainlink's network, and companies such as AccuWeather and many others have launched oracle nodes to monetize their data.

LINK, the network's native token, is the 23rd largest cryptocurrency and was down 18.53% in the last 24 hours at a present price of $11.53, as per CoinMarketCap data.
