According to Santiment, the Chainlink community considers the network a pivotal player in the altcoin market due to its decentralized oracle technology. Community members view the project as one that could <a href="https://cryptopotato.com/chainlink-tops-real-world-crypto-assets-with-the-most-development-again/" data-wpel-link="internal">drive</a> innovation in the blockchain space and bridge the gap between on-chain smart contracts and off-chain data sources. As a result, the social media narrative surrounding LINK’s potential is enthusiastic. 
<blockquote>
 “Whether or not it will fully deliver on these high expectations remains to be seen, but the community’s confidence in the project continues to play a strong role in its ongoing market presence,” Santiment said.

LINK currently ranks 14th on the list of top crypto assets by market cap. Over the past few days, the cryptocurrency has <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/chainlink/" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank">gained</a> 10.2%, driven by increasing <a href="https://cryptopotato.com/chainlink-link-price-surges-13-weekly-amid-ongoing-whales-accumulation/" data-wpel-link="internal">accumulation</a> by whales and large investors. 
<h2 id="risks-and-more-upside-potential">Risks and More Upside Potential</h2> 
Whale transaction counts for trades worth $100,000, $1 million, and above have been rising, highlighting the interest of high-net-worth individuals and institutional investors in Chainlink. On-chain data shows that holders with massive amounts of LINK have aggressively accumulated the token over the past few weeks. 
As of August 15, wallets holding one million or more LINK collectively held 685.5 million of the token. However, their stash had increased to 694 million by the time of writing, indicating an addition of 8.5 million coins within roughly six weeks. Santiment said the growth is one of the fastest jumps in whale coin accumulation in three years. 
Additionally, Chainlink has recorded a significant performance against Bitcoin, with LINK outperforming the leading crypto asset by 8.8% during its latest surge. 
Interestingly, Chainlink’s short and long-term Market Value to Realized Value ratios are currently in negative territory, indicating that LINK still has more upside potential and that there is still plenty of room for the asset to grow. 
However, Santiment warned investors to apply caution as LINK could slide into slightly risky territory while recording short-term average returns.
