Typically, a decrease in asset supply alleviates selling pressure and supports bullish arguments, and the price increase of LINK is benefiting from a decline in the supply on centralized exchanges.

Santiment’s analysts explain that tokens like LINK leaving exchanges are flowing into offline wallets, known as cold wallets.
Therefore, LINK tokens sent to cold wallets are removed from circulating supply, thus reducing the selling pressure on the asset.
Furthermore, popular cryptocurrency analyst Sherpa, who has 196,400 followers, told his audience that LINK is one of the tokens they should consider holding for over six months.
The analyst believes that, in terms of price potential, Chainlink token is a strong one compared to other tokens. Hence, Sherpa considers holding LINK in the next cycle.
