LNKUSD definition

LNKUSD is the market symbol for Chainlink (LINK) priced in US dollars, showing how many dollars one LINK token will buy. Chainlink is a decentralised oracle network that feeds real-world data, such as prices and event outcomes, into blockchain smart contracts, and LINK is the token used to pay the operators who supply that data. On this broker's platform the pair is listed as LNKUSD, with LNK standing in for LINK.

Trading LNKUSD means taking a crypto CFD position on the price of LINK rather than buying and storing the token. You can go long if you expect it to appreciate or short if you expect it to fall. The pair is quoted in US dollars, trades 24 hours a day, and is highly volatile.

LINK's price is shaped by how widely its oracle services are adopted across smart contract platforms, new data partnerships and integrations, regulatory developments, and the general mood of the crypto market. It commonly tracks Bitcoin's larger moves. Do not confuse the LNK ticker with the LINK name used elsewhere; here it refers only to Chainlink.

LNKUSD Example

Say LNKUSD is trading at $15.00 and you go long with a position of 50 LINK. The price rises to $18.00, a gain of $3.00 per token, so your profit is:

50 √ó $3.00 = $150

Had the price slipped to $12.00 instead, the same $3.00 move against you would have cost $150.
