Chainlink (LINK) exchange-traded products (ETPs) have attracted $12 million in net inflows year-to-date, highlighting investor resilience amid broader cryptocurrency market volatility.
According to late market data on digital asset fund flows, LINK is one of the altcoins that saw fresh capital influx even as the broader sector bled.
With flows suggesting Chainlink’s appeal as a decentralized oracle network remains despite macroeconomic headwinds and sector-wide outflows, what is the price outlook for the native token?
Chainlink ETPs have $12 million in year-to-date inflows
CoinShares’ latest weekly report reveals that Chainlink ETPs recorded over $1 million in net inflows last week.
This has, in turn, pushed net inflows from listed crypto products tied to the token to more than $12 million as of mid-February 2026.
The inflows contrast sharply with the overall digital asset fund outflows outlook for last week, when investors withdrew more than $173 million across Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other coins.
Exits mark the fourth consecutive week of negative flows for cryptocurrencies.
However, LINK products, as well as those pegged to Solana and XRP, have benefitted from continued institutional accumulation despite overall market turmoil.
While investors have pulled over $3.7 billion from crypto products in four weeks, CoinShares notes $12 million has entered Chainlink.
Notably, this past week, Chainlink’s standard integrated 12 times, across 7 services and 5 different chains.
These include BNB Chain, Ethereum, Polygon, Robinhood Chain, and Solana.
LINK price has held above $8 for a larger part of this period, with the oracle network increasingly key to broader blockchain technology adoption.
In the past few months, governments and large financial institutions have all looked to tap into its solutions for on-chain traction, security, and scalability.
Chainlink price technical analysis
Chainlink’s price chart displays emerging bullish divergence, with LINK trading around $8.76.
While prices hover just in the green on the day and 4% up in the past week, bulls holding above the $8 mark suggest resilience.
On the daily chart, LINK is positioned near the middle line of the Bollinger Band, poised for a possible breakout.
The lower band has acted as key support amid recent price declines.
Meanwhile, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) nears 40 from oversold territory, while MACD shows a bullish crossover.
Immediate resistance sits at $13.80-$13.97, aligning with the Bollinger upper boundary. Should bulls see a decisive break, they could target $15.50-$17.35 next.
Buyers have also shown notable strength as sell-side volume reduces. Investors may be watching for market signals from elsewhere, largely as Bitcoin continues to struggle.
The crypto space has eyes on a flip higher in the coming months, but given overall sentiment, even coins looking poised for a pump could recoil sharply.
On the downside, critical support levels anchor the bullish thesis at around $8.00, with $5.60 the next key demand reload zone.
