Crypto Tokens LTO and Chainlink See Sharp Price Swings
LTO Network’s token fell dramatically, dropping 77.8% in about an hour to $0.00044 and shrinking its market cap to roughly $176,000 amid virtually zero trading volume. The plunge reflects heightened volatility in the broader cryptocurrency market, which has been pressuring altcoins.
Chainlink’s price slipped 3.5% to $8.53 as Bitcoin triggered a flash‑crash liquidation of about $776 million, pulling down overall market sentiment. Despite the downturn, Grok AI forecast a bullish outlook, projecting LINK to reach $15‑$18 by July, with $16 as the most likely mid‑month target. Derivatives activity on Chainlink rose 36% to $689.6 million, though open interest fell 4.5%.
Both tokens are reacting to the same market-wide stress, marked by a 2.84% decline in total crypto market value to $2.32 trillion and reduced investor risk appetite.
