Chainlink [LINK] has once again taken shelter under the crypto limelight with its price movement. While LINK seems to be heading towards its recent all-time high, other prominent coins like Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Cardano, and many others were recording a serious slump in their respective prices.
LINK Heading The List Of Top Gainers [Once Again]The previous month proved to be eventful for the crypto-verse. Almost every coin witnessed a positive movement in its price. Bitcoin also observed an upward trajectory and hit $11K. However, a few altcoins were undoubtedly the top gainers of July. It seems like the alts are raging once more as certain altcoins were seen soaring.
Moving over XRP and Ether [ETH], Chainlink’s LINK stole the crypto spotlight. The altcoin had already made some noise last month as its price hit an all-time high of $8.74. Along with this, the coin climbed up the market cap ladder and made its way into the top ten cryptocurrencies. Over the last 24-hours, LINK was one of the best-performing coins. The altcoin recorded a 9.4 percent increase in its price over the last 24-hours. At the time of writing, LINK, the ninth-largest cryptocurrency was trading at $8.44.
