At the time of writing this article, the price of Chainlink is rising by more than 5%, triggering a wide variety of predictions and analyses.
An analyst, for example, a few hours before the rise had suggested that LINK is now at the verge of glory.

On to pasture new, and greener.
I'm not looking for specific targets (aside from the near term retest of $11.50 and an upper resistance of $13)

The latest news from Chainlink
Analysis aside, Chainlink recently announced several positive news and, in conjunction with the bullish market, this is certainly contributing to the price rise of the asset.
A few hours ago, in fact, Chainlink announced that its VRF function, the verifiable randomness function, has landed on the Ethereum mainnet.
It is a system for generating verifiable randomness, an application that could be useful in games and gambling, for example.
Chainlink co-founder Sergey Nazarov said that several users were already using the tool on the testnet and that they could integrate the function on their gaming platforms.
In addition, a few days ago Chainlink also announced that Unstoppable Domains are using its services to connect Twitter handles to an Ethereum address.

The system is very simple and useful to remember one’s address, but it is also a method to find out the ETH balances of famous users, as revealed by Decrypt some time ago. In fact, by knowing the name and surname of someone who uses these services it would be easy to recover the details of their balances because at that point addresses would be names.
Finally, Chainlink has also entered into a partnership with Everipedia and Associated Press to report US presidential election data on the blockchain.
