Chainlink’s holder count just veered parabolic. Fresh Santiment data shows LINK’s non-empty wallets on Ethereum climbed to 892,800—a jump of more than 8,000 new holders in only five days. At that pace, the network could breach 900,000 before the end of the week, with 1 million in sight by late summer. The on-chain signal arrives via a Santiment market note that points to a stark divergence: wallet growth is accelerating while LINK’s price remains pinned near local lows.

Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) shares rose Monday after the Bitcoin holder moved to reassure investors that it can meet its preferred stock obligations, authorizing up to $2 billion in buybacks and opening the door to Bitcoin sales that could fund dividends, interest payments, and repurchases.The company, led by Executive Chairman Michael Saylor, announced a new Digital Credit Capital Framework that gives management more room to defend its capital structure, which has come under pressure as Bitcoin weakened and Strategy’s preferred securities traded below their stated values.Following the announcement, MSTR gained 3.9% to $85.52 in early market trading, while the distressed STRC…

They Are a Two-Part System.In an interview with Coinpedia, Aljarrah has addressed this question publicly over a hundred times by his own count, and his answer has not changed. RLUSD is a complementary liquidity layer, not a replacement for XRP. The two assets serve structurally different functions on the same ledger.“RLUSD brings the easy dollars that institutions…
