Cryptocurrency.com.tr reports that Lighter, a decentralized perpetual contract exchange, expanded its Chainlink integration to over 100 markets on Friday, August 28. This move extends off-chain price feed infrastructure to new asset classes within its order book. The platform, which has recorded $1.7 trillion in total volume, adopted this strategic expansion to strengthen data oracle security.
Previously, Lighter supported 25 markets backed by the decentralized network. The new deployment incorporates low-latency data streams for U.S. and Asia-Pacific equities. It also covers foreign exchange pairs, commodities, and large-cap crypto assets.
With this update, the platform’s operational reach multiplies significantly. The technical report highlights the scaling of support for these diverse financial instruments. This integration marks a substantial increase in the number of markets powered by Chainlink on the exchange.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for LINK, measured when this story was written up on 29 August 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
LINK is trading at $11.43 with a 1-hour buy ratio of 50.8% and a 4-hour buy ratio of 53.9%. These short-term figures indicate a slight majority of buy orders compared to the 24-hour buy ratio of 45.8%. Volume delta shows positive inflows of +$5,573 in the last hour and +$119,762 over four hours. However, the 24-hour volume delta is -$2,512,806, suggesting net selling pressure over the full day. This divergence implies that recent buying activity is outpacing the cumulative selling seen over the last 24 hours. Spot volume for the period reached $30,005,487 across 391,074 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.
Twenty-four hours later
What LINK did over the 24 hours after the story broke. The market moves for its own reasons; this is what happened, not what the story caused.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for LINK, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Over the preceding week, the 7-day average buy ratio was 49.8%, making the current 24-hour ratio of 45.8% 4.1 points lower than the average. Trading volume was 0.58x the weekly average, indicating lighter activity than usual. The price changed by -4.6% over the eight-day period, with a total volume delta of -$69,697. Only 2 of the past 7 days saw net buying, highlighting a predominantly bearish trend. This recent trading pattern reflects a continuation of lower volume and negative delta compared to the weekly baseline.
