Likewise, new demand for the asset has climbed by 211% during the same period.
According to data obtained from Santiment, on 9th November, LINK saw the creation of 3044 new addresses, its highest daily count since July.
The growth in LINK’s network activity in the last month is due to the market’s general rally. Benefiting from the same, LINK’s price has increased by 108% in the last 30 days.
At press time, the altcoin traded at $15.04, its highest price level since 14th April, according to data from CoinMarketCap.
LINK holders are mostly interested in taking profit
With the alt trading at a multi-month high, LINK holders have increasingly sent their tokens to crypto exchanges for onward sales. An assessment of the alt’s exchange activity revealed a steady inflow of LINK tokens to exchanges since the rally began.
LINK’s exchange inflow observed on a 30-day moving average has grown by 17%, according to data retrieved from Santiment.
This has driven up the token’s supply on exchanges by 0.1%, resulting in a corresponding 0.02% decline in its supply outside of exchanges during the same period.

Token holders have been incentivized to distribute their holdings due to how profitable LINK transactions have been since the rally began. Data from Santiment showed the daily ratio of LINK transaction volume in profit to loss to be 2.1 (30-day MA) at press time.

Likewise, with a Market Value To Realized Value ratio (MVRV) of 76.29% at press time, LINK’s current market value was higher than the average price at which it was last purchased. Hence, most holders could expect a minimum return of 76.29% on their initial investments.
