Chainlink surged to a new 2026 high above $15 following a 12% rally, though some smaller holders took profits as non-empty wallets declined to 912,020. CCIP 2.0 launched this week, bringing upgraded cross-chain infrastructure to institutions with a focus on security and compliance, having secured over $84 billion in cross-chain token value. Major financial firms including BitGo, Fidelity International, and Deutsche Börse's Crypto Finance have integrated the platform, while analysts identified $17.30, $20, $23, and $28 as key price levels ahead, with some projecting potential targets as high as $100.
