Chainlink Surges Past $12 as Bottomline Deal Opens Door to 600+ Banks

Chainlink has broken through $12 after partnering with payments technology provider Bottomline. The deal opens Chainlink's infrastructure to over 600 banks, which collectively process more than $16 trillion annually.

Bottomline is one of the top three SWIFT service providers and allows its customers to use ISO 20022 messaging while Chainlink handles cross-chain interoperability and payment workflows through its CCIP and Runtime Environment. This move strengthens the case for LINK as institutional payment infrastructure moves onchain.

DigiTap, a company offering a crypto wallet and card app that is already live, offers an earlier way to position around the same financial-utility trend. Its presale price is $0.0583, with a planned listing price of $0.14. DigiTap has raised over $11.37 million and sold more than 350 million tokens.
