Chainlink partners with Coinbase on Base–Solana bridge as LINK targets new breakout levels
- Chainlink price hovered near $14, down 2% in the past 24 hours.
- LINK remained under pressure despite two key integrations on Solana.
- Coinbase and Chainlink have launched a Base-Solana bridge.
Chainlink continues to play a key role in the blockchain interoperability and asset tokenisation space, and that shows in the two latest integrations.
As a pivotal oracle network bridging decentralised finance (DeFi) with traditional systems, Chainlink’s traction is forecast to be a major factor for the native token LINK.
On December 5, 2025, LINK traded around $14.
Bulls were under pressure but remained upbeat amid recent advancements. Among these is the collaboration with Coinbase on the Base-Solana bridge and the integration into a Solana-based RWA consortium.
Chainlink and Coinbase to power Base-Solana bridge
Three major industry players here: Coinbase, Chainlink and Solana. Industry reaction to their latest collaboration highlights the potential impact.
Simply, the launch of the Base-Solana bridge marks a significant milestone in multi-chain connectivity. Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) serves as the security backbone alongside Coinbase’s node operators.
As announced, this mainnet deployment enables seamless asset transfers between Base and Solana.
CCIP will help verify all messages, ensuring tamper-proof and reliable token movements on Solana. In this case, users can now deposit SOL into Base applications, import any Solana Program Library (SPL) token, and export Base assets back to Solana.
Chainlink joins RWA initiative on Solana
Another major development is news that Chainlink has joined the newly formed RWA Consortium on Solana. The initiative, led by Figure Technology Solutions in partnership with Kamino Finance, CASH, Raydium, Privy, and Gauntlet, was announced on December 4, 2025.
Experts say real-world assets onchain value will grow exponentially in the next five years.
Early adoption has virtually every RWA now onchain and Solana plays a key role in this space. Chainlink too.
The new alliance aims to democratize access to over $1 billion in monthly onchain loan originations. First to deploy is PRIME, a liquid staking token on the Hastra liquidity protocol.
LINK price forecast
Chainlink’s oracle infrastructure is central to this goal. Its technology will connect Solana’s developer-friendly environment with Figure’s $19 billion in tokenized loan originations.
These initiatives could further catalyse price appreciation for both LINK and SOL.
At the time of writing, LINK changed hands at $14 while Solana price hovered at $136. If prices rise further, the main short-term target will be highs above $26, last seen in August. SOL bulls will eye $200.
Other bullish catalysts will include crypto ETFs, regulatory clarity and a flip in global macroeconomic outlook.
