Chainlink announced on Wednesday via X that Cryptex Finance has upgraded to Chainlink Data Streams. This development is significant as it highlights the increasing reliance on Chainlink's oracle solutions within the decentralized finance (DeFi) sector. However, despite such advancements, the broader market sentiment remains pessimistic. Regulatory scrutiny is intensifying globally, and the volatility of major cryptocurrencies continues to deter institutional investors. The long-term sustainability of DeFi projects remains uncertain in this challenging environment.
