The price of LINK
Taking a look at Chainlink (LINK), it appears that the crypto is experiencing a small bear market, which has seen its price drop -8.15% in the past seven days. In contrast, the monthly chart sees the price pumping +9% from then 30 days ago.
In any case, LINK’s real pump occurred on 20 July, with the price rising from $6.80 to $8.34 in 24 hours.
In fact, in those days, Chainlink released its cross-chain interoperability protocol (CCIP), with the aim of simplifying the transfer of money between different blockchains.
