TLDR
- Chainlink launched its Data Standard on AWS Marketplace, giving enterprises direct access to blockchain connectivity tools.
- Three services are now available: Data Feeds, Data Streams, and Proof of Reserve.
- AWS’s Simon Goldberg said the integration lets developers use familiar AWS tools to build smart contract applications.
- Analyst Crypto Patel flagged the AWS x Chainlink deal as a potential catalyst, asking if LINK could run from $9 to $100.
- LINK is holding above the 20- and 50-day EMAs near $9.20, with key resistance at $9.70 and then $10.07.
Chainlink has officially listed its Data Standard on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Marketplace. The move gives developers and financial institutions a direct way to connect AWS infrastructure with blockchain networks.

Three Chainlink services are now live on the platform: Data Feeds, Data Streams, and Proof of Reserve.
Data Feeds delivers decentralized price and market data pulled from multiple sources. It is used for valuations, settlements, and risk management functions.
Data Streams provides high-speed, low-latency data for real-time applications. It supports on-chain products like perpetual futures, options, and high-performance trading markets.
Proof of Reserve allows on-chain verification of the assets backing stablecoins and tokenized real-world assets. It helps issuers improve transparency and automate minting processes.
Simon Goldberg, an AWS web3 specialist solutions architect, explained the reasoning behind the deal. “Chainlink’s oracle infrastructure extends these capabilities by providing secure, bidirectional connectivity between AWS resources and smart contracts deployed on blockchain networks,” he wrote.
Goldberg added that the integration allows developers to use familiar AWS tools when building applications that interact with tokenized assets and smart contracts.
Solving the Oracle Problem
Chainlink described a core challenge in blockchain development known as the “oracle problem.” Blockchain networks cannot natively access external data, which limits their usefulness for tokenization. Chainlink’s decentralized oracle network is designed to bridge that gap.
The integration connects AWS compute, storage, database, and API services directly to smart contracts. This allows institutions to build hybrid applications that work across both traditional cloud systems and decentralized networks.
Chainlink also pointed to growing competition in the oracle space. Pyth recently signed a deal with prediction market platform Kalshi. Meanwhile, FTSE Russell, Deutsche Börse, S&P Global, and Coinbase have all agreed to feed data into Chainlink’s DataLink service.
LINK Price Holds Key Support Levels
On the price side, LINK is trading above the 20- and 50-day EMAs, both clustered near $9.20. The RSI sits around 54, and the Stochastic reading is near 59, pointing to modest bullish momentum.
Resistance sits at $9.70, followed by the 100-day EMA at $10.07. A daily close above $10.07 could open the path toward $11.16.
Support holds at the $9.12 trendline. A break below that level would expose $8.55 and then $8.18.

The @AWS x @Chainlink Deal Might Be the Catalyst Nobody Was Watching.

Crypto analyst Crypto Patel posted on X asking whether LINK could move from $9 to $100, calling the AWS deal “the catalyst nobody was watching.”
At the time of writing, LINK is consolidating just above $9.20 with resistance at $9.70.
