- Chainlink was displayed at 10.288 USD on November 12, 2026, 0.34 percent below the verified November 11 UTC close.
- Charles Schwab added LINK to its US crypto platform on November 9, expanding its supported assets to five.
- Moody's and Chainlink completed a CCIP testnet pilot, but no live credit ratings were published on-chain.
Chainlink price was displayed at 10.288 USD on November 12, 2026, on the Chainlink market page of Investing.com. The page showed a market capitalization of 7.70 billion USD, 24-hour volume of 253.15 million USD, a market rank of 14 and 748.10 million LINK in circulation.
For the required daily comparison, the verified November 11 UTC close was 10.323 USD, according to Kinzan. The current display therefore represents a calculated decline of 0.34 percent from that close. This is a UTC daily comparison, not a rolling 24-hour change.
Institutional access expands
On November 9, Charles Schwab announced that eligible clients could buy and sell Chainlink alongside bitcoin, ether, solana and avalanche. The Charles Schwab announcement said the platform charges 75 basis points on each trade and is available only to qualifying customers in the United States, excluding New York and Louisiana. The addition increases distribution through a mainstream brokerage, although it does not directly extend access to investors in Germany.
CCIP pilot remains a proof of concept
Moody's Ratings and Chainlink also completed a pilot using the Token Integration Engine and Chainlink's Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol, or CCIP. As reported by CoinMarketCap, the test distributed representative credit-rating data across permissioned and permissionless networks. It ran on testnet, and no actual rating actions were published on-chain. The companies did not announce a commercial launch date.
What investors should watch
The developments strengthen Chainlink's positioning as infrastructure for tokenized assets and cross-chain data delivery. However, the Schwab listing is a distribution event and the Moody's work is a technical demonstration; neither by itself proves that additional token demand or fee capture will follow. The token remains sensitive to broader crypto-market conditions, while the November 11 close of 10.323 USD provides the latest verified daily reference for evaluating subsequent moves.
