Chainlink just had its two busiest days of the year for new wallet creation, with each day crossing the 3,000 threshold. The data, tracked by Santiment, points to a network that’s quietly building momentum even as the broader crypto market remains indecisive.
The numbers behind the surge
The two record days each saw more than 3,000 new Chainlink wallets created, making them the highest on-chain growth days LINK has posted in all of 2026.
Non-micro wallets, defined as addresses holding at least 1 LINK, have climbed to approximately 535,000. That figure hasn’t been reached since December 2022, roughly three and a half years ago.
The mid-tier holder cohort is growing too. Wallets containing 1,000 or more LINK hit 25,420 in 2026, a new yearly high.
