Chainlink's (LINK) price has gained nearly 36% from lows of $5.52 on Nov. 21 to intraday highs of $7.5 seen at press time.

At the time of publication, LINK was trading at $7.35, up 7.71% in the last 24 hours and 15.68% on the weekly timeframe. Chainlink has also reentered the top 20 cryptos in terms of market cap, ranking the 19th largest with a valuation of $3.73 billion. LINK's price increase might have been partly fueled by the recent advancement of Chainlink's Oracle services.

According to Delphi Digital, in the past week, Chainlink had over 246,000 verifiable random function (VRF) requests fulfilled, an increase of 259% over the week before. The bigger chunk of this activity was on Polygon.

Most recently, Chainlink announced a partnership with Tom N' Toms Coffee, a coffeehouse chain based in South Korea with over 400 branches in nine countries. The coffee brand will be integrating Chainlink Price Feeds on Polygon's mainnet into its recently announced NFT marketplace, HEYST, which will go live in mid-December 2022.

On Nov. 10, Chainlink Labs began offering proof-of-reserves auditing services to exchanges. After the FTX debacle, traders have been looking for greater clarity on exchange reserves, which might increase demand for oracle services like Chainlink and also boost the LINK price.
