LINK Token Surges as SEC Exempts Blockchain Trading of Tokenized Stocks

Chainlink's LINK token surged by over 3.5% on Thursday to trade near $11.78, following several key developments in the crypto and regulatory space.

The price move came after a five-year conditional exemption was announced by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), allowing blockchain-based trading of tokenized U.S. stocks.

This news is significant for Chainlink as it has built its infrastructure around tokenized real-world assets, offering data feeds, proof-of-reserve tools, and cross-chain interoperability for traditional financial institutions.
