Chainlink announced on Monday that it has successfully enabled CBDC and stablecoin swaps between Hong Kong and Australia, involving major players such as Visa, Fidelity, and China AMC. The cross-border exchange involved the Hong Kong CBDC (e-HKD) against an Australian dollar stablecoin (A$DC), utilizing Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP).

Another bullish sign is Coinglass’s LINK long-to-short ratio, which reads 1.25, the highest level in over a month. This ratio, above one, reflects bullish sentiment in the markets, as more traders are betting on the asset price to rise.
