Chainlink and Infosys Finacle Partner on Banking Infrastructure
Chainlink (LINK)

crypto-economy.com reports that Chainlink has formalized a partnership with Infosys Finacle to integrate its services into the digital banking platform. This collaboration aims to help financial institutions connect blockchain-based assets with traditional banking systems. Infosys Finacle manages the infrastructure for more than 1.7 billion financial accounts worldwide.
The agreement involves the Chainlink Runtime Environment but does not name specific banks or set a concrete implementation timeline. Consequently, the 1.7 billion figure represents potential distribution rather than immediate adoption. On-chain data from Santiment shows that 1,344 new LINK addresses were recorded on September 22.
This figure is down from the 1,556 addresses seen the previous day. Although this number exceeded the September average by approximately 19%, it remains below the peak of 1,929 recorded on August 21. The token fell around 1% on the day of the announcement, indicating traders did not reprice it in response to the news.
Chainlink’s Payment Abstraction system allows corporate users to pay fees in fiat or stablecoins without holding LINK. This structure means banks could operate on the network without generating direct demand for the token. The most decisive signals for impact will come when concrete banking deployments are made or announced.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for LINK, measured when this story was written up on 23 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
LINK is currently trading at $13.05 with a 24-hour buy ratio of 53.5%, indicating that buying pressure has strengthened over the full day. However, the 1-hour buy ratio sits at 44.4% and the 4-hour ratio is 46.5%, showing that short-term buying momentum is fading relative to the daily average. The volume delta reflects this shift, dropping to -$1,565,938 in the last hour and -$607,891 over four hours, while remaining positive at +$2,928,592 for the 24-hour period. A positive volume delta means buyers have spent more money than sellers have received, while the buy ratio measures the proportion of trades executed by buyers. The 24-hour cumulative volume delta (CVD) closed at +$513,509, confirming that net buying has occurred over the longer timeframe. Spot volume for the period reached $42,447,251 across 460,406 trades.
The latest daily buy ratio of 49.4% sits at the 56th percentile of the last 322 days, against a median of 48.8% - ordinary for this coin.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for LINK, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
The current 24-hour buy ratio of 53.5% is higher than the 7-day average of 50.5%, representing a difference of 2.9 percentage points. Trading volume for the day was 1.27 times the weekly average, indicating an unusual level of activity compared to the preceding week. Over the past eight days, the price has changed by +19.8%, with a total volume delta of +$6,764,507 recorded. Net buying occurred on 5 of the 7 days in the preceding week. This suggests that while short-term momentum is cooling, the broader weekly trend remains firmly in favor of buyers.
