Chainlink’s LINK token is currently trading around $14, experiencing a decline of 2% over the past 24 hours. Despite facing market pressure, the token remains buoyed by significant partnerships, including recent integrations with Solana. Additionally, Coinbase and Chainlink have launched a new Base-Solana bridge, enhancing cross-chain capabilities.
Chainlink and Coinbase Collaborate on Base-Solana Bridge
The recent partnership between Coinbase, Chainlink, and Solana highlights potential advancements in blockchain interoperability. This new Base-Solana bridge signifies a significant leap forward in multi-chain connectivity. Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) provides a secure foundation for this venture, working alongside Coinbase’s node operators.
The mainnet deployment facilitates seamless asset transfers between Base and Solana. Users can now deposit SOL into Base applications, import tokens from the Solana Program Library (SPL), and re-export Base assets seamlessly back to Solana.
“The bridge is now live on the mainnet, ready for use in applications such as Zora, Aerodrome, Virtuals, Flaunch, and Relay,” Base announced in a blog post. “Users will be able to trade SOL, CHILLHOUSE, TRENCHER, and more Solana assets through Base.”
The Base-Solana bridge is live. Secured by @Chainlink CCIP alongside Coinbase, the bridge unlocks new cross-chain experiences:
• Support Solana assets natively in Base apps
• Enable users to trade & use assets across chains
• Bridge assets and tap into both ecosystems🧵

Chainlink Joins RWA Initiative on Solana
In another pivotal development, Chainlink has joined the newly established RWA (Real World Assets) consortium on the Solana blockchain. This initiative, spearheaded by Figure Technology Solutions and in collaboration with Kamino Finance, CASH, Raydium, Privy, and Gauntlet, was announced on December 4, 2025.
Experts predict that the on-chain value of real-world assets will see exponential growth over the next five years. The initiative is expected to democratize access to over a billion dollars in monthly on-chain loan origins, with PRIME, a liquid staking token on the Hastra liquidity protocol, being the first deployment.
“We are democratizing access to institutional lending markets,” said Mike Cagney, founder and executive chairman of Figure. “For the first time, a DeFi user with $100 can participate in the same lending pools as large financial institutions, gaining yields from real lending activities with total transparency and immediate liquidity.”
LINK Price Forecast
Chainlink’s Oracle infrastructure is crucial for these developments, linking the user-friendly Solana environment with the $19 billion creators at Figure. These initiatives are expected to catalyze further price appreciation for LINK and SOL.
As of now, LINK is priced at $14, while Solana remains at $136. If the upward trend continues, a short-term target of surpassing $26, previously seen in August, becomes feasible. Conversely, SOL bulls are eyeing a potential rise to $200.
Additional bullish catalysts include cryptocurrency ETFs, regulatory clarity, and a turnaround in global macroeconomic conditions.
