Chainlink Smashes $100B TVS-Is This Crypto’s Cinderella Story? 💸✨

by

So, guess what? Chainlink just sashayed its way to a brand-new all-time high in the oh-so-important total value secured (TVS) metric. That’s right, the oracle network is now lounging comfortably past the $100 billion mark across decentralized finance, probably ordering champagne and selfie sticks. 🍾📸

It’s September 12th, Bitcoin just strutted past $115,000 like it owns the place, altcoins are throwing confetti, and Chainlink casually tweets that its TVS has hit over $100 billion. No biggie. 🥳

This new peak is like that feeling when you finally fit into your Jeans from 2015 – Chainlink’s oracle solutions have not just kept up with the times but are flexing harder than ever since smashing through 2021’s records. TVS basically measures how much financial muscle Chainlink’s decentralized wizardry is protecting. So hitting this milestone says loud and clear: people trust these oracles more than their daily horoscope. 🔮

Fast-forward to 2025, and LINK’s TVS has done a neat double-over-100% magic trick, vaulting from a modest $38 billion to an eye-watering $93 billion by mid-August – and then to the mythical $100 billion. With more DeFi protocols and enterprise users signing up, this party is only getting started.

Chainlink has just reached a new all-time high in Total Value Secured (TVS) ✅

Over 70% of Chainlink TVS on Aave v3 (Because Sharing Is Caring, But Not That Much)

Now, Chainlink’s been busy making power moves – like cozying up with Intercontinental Exchange and adding spicy foreign exchange plus precious metals rates into their Data Streams. Even the U.S. Department of Commerce couldn’t resist tapping Chainlink to bring on-chain economic data. Talk about street cred! 🇺🇸

According to our friends at DeFiLlama, lending protocol Aave is basically the mayor of Chainlink town, holding the biggest slice of the TVS pie with a whopping $70.9 billion (or 70.75% if you’re into decimals). This monster figure spans 17 blockchains with Ethereum, Arbitrum, and Base holding the top spots on Aave v3. Other lending drama stars include Maple, Compound v3, SparkLend, and Kamino – the latter being the cool Solana kid on the block.

And oh, LINK itself? It’s been riding the wave nicely, flirting around $24.70 on September 12th – up about 5% in a day and a cheeky 11% over the week. Who says crypto can’t be consistent? 📈
