Chainlink

Analysis
Chainlink (LINK) dipped 1.1% over the past hour likely due to short-term profit-taking despite broadly positive headlines. Cointelegraph and Decrypt reported that Kraken is migrating its wrapped Bitcoin infrastructure to Chainlink CCIP amid a wider move away from LayerZero, but the market reaction in the last hour appears muted rather than immediately bullish.
