Quant and Chainlink target banks with different blockchain solutions
Chainlink (LINK)

Cryptocurrency.com.tr reports that Quant and Chainlink are competing for the same banking clients seeking multi-chain connectivity. Both projects address the challenge of banks connecting to dozens of blockchains without committing to a single network. Quant operates a layer above existing networks, removing the need for banks to decide which specific blockchain to address.
In contrast, Chainlink establishes a standard for transfers between networks, requiring confirmation from multiple independent groups. This structural difference influences whom a bank must ultimately trust for its operations. It also determines whether the project's native token is required for these processes.
Banks face the practical issue of maintaining separate integrations for each network they join. Connecting individually means building and sustaining a unique integration for every network indefinitely.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for LINK, measured when this story was written up on 8 October 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
Whalio data shows LINK trading at $13.33 with a 24-hour buy ratio of 47.0%. The 1-hour and 4-hour buy ratios are 46.6% and 46.9%, respectively, indicating that buying pressure is currently fading compared to the daily average. Volume Delta is negative across all timeframes, with -$49,352 in the last hour and -$130,895 over four hours. This negative delta means sellers are executing larger trades than buyers, pushing the net flow downward. Over 24 hours, the Volume Delta totals -$1,481,189, confirming sustained selling pressure. Only 7 out of 24 hours saw net buying, suggesting a predominantly bearish spot market.
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.
