$LINK has collaborated with the U.S. Department of Commerce to publish key economic metrics (e.g., growth, inflation, spending) directly on-chain for the first time. This move is seen as a major step toward institutional adoption and has spiked sentiment, with LINK often lagging but eventually catching up in price. Analysts highlight this as part of crypto's political arc, potentially accelerating Chainlink's role in global finance.
These recent developments have prompted most exchanges to introduce incentives for users, and the BingX Hot Token Championship is a strong example. The event ranks participants by LINK trading volume, rewarding the top 150 traders with a share of 40,000 USDT in LINK. This creates a high-incentive environment for active traders, as larger volumes directly correlate with higher rewards.
