SOURCE EVIDENCE

"Chainlink trades near $8.71 with CCIP expanding into new integrations including MoneyGram's Solana launch this week. LINK's oracle technology powers most major DeFi protocols. That adoption is real. But at $8.71, LINK has traded in a compressed range for weeks, and utility alone has not moved the price."
