This rebound comes amid broader market volatility that has seen LINK fall roughly 51% over the past year.<\/p>\n<h2>SEC taps Chainlink veteran for crypto regulation<\/h2>\n<p>The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has appointed Taylor Lindman, formerly a senior legal officer at Chainlink Labs, as chief counsel for its Crypto Task Force.<\/p>\n<p>Lindman brings over five years of experience in blockchain and regulatory compliance.<\/p>\n<p>He played a key role in advising Chainlink on legal matters and navigating complex digital asset regulations before his departure in February 2023.<\/p>\n<p>Lindman\u2019s move to the SEC signals that regulators are increasingly interested in professionals with hands-on experience in decentralised finance (DeFi) and smart contract ecosystems.<\/p>\n<p>SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce, who leads the Crypto Task Force, welcomed Lindman\u2019s appointment.<\/p>\n<p>Analysts suggest that Lindman\u2019s expertise could influence future guidance and enforcement actions around digital assets.<\/p>\n<h2>LINK price performance<\/h2>\n<p>The market appeared to respond positively with institutional investors, including firms like Grayscale, steadily accumulating LINK tokens.<\/p>\n<p>The continued institutional interest, combined with Lindman\u2019s transition to the SEC, has reignited confidence in Chainlink\u2019s long-term positioning.<\/p>\n<p>Short-term technical indicators show that LINK recently found support at around $6.80, while the resistance at $8.19 has limited upward movement in the past.<\/p>\n<p>The rebound above $8 could open the door for higher price action, while a fall below $6.80 might signal further downside risk.<\/p>\n<h2>Short-term LINK price prediction<\/h2>\n<p>With regulatory developments and institutional interest converging, LINK is drawing attention from both traders and long-term investors.<\/p>\n<p>Its price movement over the next few weeks will likely reflect a mix of market sentiment, technical pressure, and evolving regulatory signals.<\/p>\n<p>For short-term traders, analysts have highligted $6.80 as the immediate key short-term support level to watch. Holding above this level would suggest that the market is stabilising after recent volatility.<\/p>\n<p>If LINK can break through the $8.19 resistance, the next target would be $9.51.<\/p>\n<p>A sustained move above $10.80 could indicate stronger bullish momentum, attracting further buying interest.<\/p>\n<p>On the downside, if the $6.80 support fails, traders should monitor the $5.38 zone as a potential safety net.<\/p>\n<p>Price action around these levels will be critical in defining LINK\u2019s short-term trend.<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-meta\">\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Share this article<\/h6>\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Categories<\/h6>\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Tags<\/h6>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Analysis,Markets,Chainlink News#LINK #price #rebounds #SEC #taps #LINK #lawyer #crypto #task #force1771930839<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SEC hires ex-Chainlink lawyer Taylor Lindman to head Crypto Task Force counsel.
