Chainlink (LINK) outperformed the rest of the cryptocurrency market last week with a 15% increase in its price. The two largest cryptocurrencies by market value, Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), had less movement during the same period. The price increase may be due to the increase in new demand for the altcoin and the increase in the number of daily addresses completing transactions with LINK.
