- Chainlink (LINK) is down 13% this month, but analysts are eyeing a potential rebound fueled by unexpected regulatory momentum.
- LINK’s team met twice with the SEC’s Crypto Task Force, possibly setting the stage for positive regulatory alignment.
- Price predictions suggest a 26–27% upside, with LINK expected to hit $15.97 before the end of April, up from its current ~$12.50 level.
The crypto market lately? Yeah… it’s been kind of a snoozefest. Flat price action, little momentum, not much to write home about. But one token in the top 15 might be gearing up for something different—Chainlink (LINK) could be heading for a 26% pump this April, and oddly enough, the SEC might be the one helping it out.
Weird? Yeah. But also kind of exciting.
LINK’s Quiet Month Could Be the Calm Before a Jump
So far, April hasn’t done much for Chainlink. It’s basically drifted sideways—down more than 13% over the past 30 days, and sitting around $12.50. That’s also a 7% drop from this time last year. Not catastrophic, but not exactly bullish vibes either.
But that might be changing.
According to recent chatter (and a post on X, formerly Twitter), Chainlink’s team had two sit-downs with the SEC’s Crypto Task Force last month. Yeah, that SEC. The same agency that’s usually more about lawsuits than love letters. Apparently, they met to talk through the future of crypto regulation in the U.S., which could position LINK to benefit from any friendly policies coming down the pipe.
A Regulatory Edge? That’s the Bull Case
Now, nobody’s saying the SEC is about to publicly endorse Chainlink or anything wild like that—but having a seat at the table? That matters. Especially when the rest of the market is still kind of walking on eggshells around U.S. regulators.
And here’s where it gets interesting: CoinCodex is predicting that LINK could hit $15.97 before the end of April. That’d be a 27% jump from where it’s hovering now. Not bad at all for a token that’s been stuck around the same level for weeks.
This kind of movement, if it happens, would mark a pretty solid reversal—especially for a project that’s already been building a ton of long-term fundamentals. So while everyone else is focused on hype coins or waiting on Bitcoin to move, Chainlink might just be lining up its next big run—with a little unexpected help from the suits in D.C.
