Cardano will soon support Chainlink’s oracle network through a self-serve integration library, according to CEO Charles Hoskinson. He confirmed the development on June 20, 2025, stating that he maintains close communication with the Chainlink team and receives regular updates.

The integration will allow developers on Cardano to access off-chain data directly through Chainlink’s decentralized oracle feeds. This marks a major step for applications that rely on real-world inputs—such as decentralized finance (DeFi), insurance, and gaming platforms.

Oracles play a critical role in connecting blockchain smart contracts with external data like exchange rates, weather metrics, and market statistics. Without them, smart contracts remain isolated and lack responsiveness to real-world events. Chainlink solves this gap by providing a decentralized system that delivers accurate, tamper-resistant data to blockchain networks.

With Cardano expanding its smart contract infrastructure, the Chainlink integration will give developers new tools to create more complex and useful applications. A self-serve library simplifies the process, removing the need for customized setups or intermediary solutions.

On June 19, 2025, Chainlink revealed multiple high-profile partnerships that anchor its CCIP strategy. UBS Asset Management and Swift launched a pilot program for tokenized fund settlements. The program ran under Singapore’s Project Guardian and demonstrated seamless integration between traditional infrastructure and blockchain systems. It also showed reduced costs and faster settlements across the $63 trillion mutual fund sector.

Separately, Chainlink signed a long-term agreement with Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) to develop blockchain compliance standards. ADGM’s Registration Authority will use Chainlink’s technical services to manage tokenized assets within a regulated framework. This ensures that new tokenization pilots meet the legal and operational standards expected by institutional players.

Chainlink is no longer just an oracle provider. Through CCIP and institutional-grade infrastructure, it now links traditional finance to blockchain ecosystems. It enables fund managers, banks, and regulators to move from pilot experiments to full-scale production models.

Recent integration into World Liberty Financial’s DeFi ecosystem further demonstrates Chainlink’s growing role in bridging real-world assets and decentralized platforms. Each integration contributes to a broader network effect, where successful implementations encourage faster adoption.

Replicable Model for Global Expansion

The UBS-Swift pilot under Project Guardian now serves as a replicable model for other financial firms exploring asset tokenization. Chainlink’s technical stack proved effective in reducing friction across traditional and digital asset rails. Following this, other asset managers have begun evaluating similar models for deployment.

The ADGM partnership also provides a framework for compliant tokenization under strict regulatory standards. It offers a ready-made blueprint for jurisdictions looking to attract blockchain innovation without sacrificing oversight.

Together, these partnerships reduce institutional resistance and signal that blockchain integration is no longer experimental—it’s actionable.

On June 20, 2025, the LINK/USDT daily chart published on TradingView confirmed a bullish falling wedge pattern. The formation began developing in early May after the price faced rejection near $16 and started descending inside a narrowing channel.

A bullish wedge pattern is a technical formation where the price consolidates between two downward-sloping, converging trendlines, signaling a potential breakout to the upside.

The lower highs and lower lows seen since May formed the wedge, while the price continued testing support near the $12.80–$13.00 range. At the same time, the 50-day EMA near $14.32 acted as dynamic resistance, rejecting several breakout attempts.

If LINK confirms a breakout above the upper red trendline—currently near the $14.50 mark—the pattern’s height projection suggests a 65% rally from the current level of $13.15. This could place the price target around $21.65.

Volume analysis shows a gradual decline during wedge formation, which typically precedes a breakout. A surge in volume alongside a candle close above resistance would validate the bullish move.

Until then, the price continues to consolidate. But if the breakout plays out, LINK may rally strongly into the $20–22 range in the coming weeks.

As of June 20, 2025, Chainlink’s daily Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands at 41.61, remaining below the neutral threshold of 50. The RSI moving average trails slightly higher at 43.94, confirming subdued market momentum.

The RSI has traded under 50 throughout June, showing no sign of a shift toward bullish momentum. Although the index has not dropped into oversold territory below 30, the current reading places LINK in a neutral-to-bearish zone. Price action appears directionless, echoing the lack of strong buying or selling pressure.

Throughout the past week, the RSI trend flattened, indicating that traders are waiting for a decisive move. This behavior coincides with the ongoing falling wedge pattern seen on the LINK/USDT chart, where price has continued to compress inside narrowing trendlines.

If Chainlink breaks out of the wedge and confirms upward momentum, RSI could climb above the 50 mark, signaling renewed strength. Until that breakout occurs, the RSI suggests that LINK’s short-term trend remains weak and indecisive.

As Chainlink moves deeper into real-world finance, LINK’s value proposition grows. If CCIP adoption continues to expand, analysts see room for LINK to reclaim the $30 zone. Institutional use cases provide not only liquidity but also long-term demand for the protocol’s services.

By embedding itself in regulatory frameworks and financial infrastructure, Chainlink is building more than partnerships—it’s building the technical rails for tokenizing the global economy.
