Why Chainlink is up 1.2% in the last hour

Analysis

Chainlink (LINK) rose about 1.2% over the past hour as market participants reacted to reports that the fallout from the KelpDAO hack is pushing another DeFi protocol toward migrating to Chainlink’s CCIP, reinforcing near-term demand expectations for Chainlink’s cross-chain infrastructure. CryptoPotato highlighted this potential CCIP migration as a direct response to exploit-driven security concerns, which likely supported LINK sentiment in the short timeframe.
