Virtuals Protocol is moving over $700 million in VIRTUAL token liquidity from the LayerZero bridge to Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP), joining other DeFi projects such as Solv Protocol in a broader shift away from LayerZero after the KelpDAO exploit. The migration contributes to a larger trend where more than $3 billion in total value locked across multiple protocols is being reallocated to CCIP, which has recently recorded its highest daily active address count of about 80,428. Market commentary notes that LINK, the token underpinning CCIP, is trading around $7.60 with support near $7–$7.20 and resistance around $8.80 to $10, while the overall sentiment reflects growing institutional interest in oracle‑driven cross‑chain infrastructure.
