Chainlink (LINK) pumps 26% in 6 days — Is there room for more?
Chainlink's (LINK) token has experienced a remarkable 26% surge between Nov. 2 and Nov. 8, approaching $14, a level not seen since April 2022. This solidified its position as the 10th largest cryptocurrency (excluding stablecoins) by market capitalization.
While the price action is a welcome sight for traders, is Chainlink's current valuation of $8.1 billion justified? Cointelegraph research shows that the impressive price surge is driven by expectations of real-world asset (RWA) tokenization and initial signs of institutional adoption. However, let's delve deeper to assess the sustainability of the current rally.

Bitcoin’s (BTC) rally stalled near $36,000, but the bulls have not hurried to book profits. According to Glassnode analysis, the Long-Term Holder metric, which are addresses holding Bitcoin for at least 155 days, supply is near an all-time high, while the Short-Term Holder, addresses holding coins for less than 155 days, supply is near an all-time low, indicating tightening Bitcoin supply.
Although the long-term looks positive, there could be fireworks in the short term. Bitcoin derivatives markets have seen a huge build-up of open interest, rising above $16 billion at the time of writing, per CoinGlass data. J. A. Maartunn, a contributor to on-chain analytics platform CryptoQuant, highlighted on X (previously Twitter) that increases in open interest above $12.2 billion have previously resulted in a minimum dip of 20%.

Exclusive: 2 years after John McAfee’s death, widow Janice is broke and needs answers
Janice McAfee, the widow of tech impresario John McAfee, is still in the midst of grief. She is doing “odd jobs to feed herself,” has run out of funds, and still doesn’t know what really happened to her husband.
Since the death of crypto guru and antivirus pioneer husband John McAfee in a Barcelona prison more than two years ago, she has remained in Spain in an undisclosed location and has only been saved from homelessness by the kindness of friends.
She can’t move on because she still doesn’t know what happened to her husband in spite of a September ruling this year from a Catalan court that John McAfee died by suicide and the case was effectively closed.
