The Graph (GRT) emerged as one of the top-performing altcoins in the past 24 hours, climbing nearly 10% to reach $0.12.

GRT gained as Bitcoin’s surge to a new all-time high above $111k looks to have injected fresh optimism across the crypto market.

Also contributing to the token’s recent momentum is a new integration with Chainlink, as indexing protocol The Graph prepares to leverage the oracle provider’s cross-chain interoperability protocol.

The development arrives amid a broader market upswing for major altcoins and represents a potentially pivotal milestone that could support bullish efforts to push prices to fresh multi-month highs.

Chainlink and The Graph integration

The Graph announced on May 21, 2025, that it planned to integrate Chainlink CCIP, an interoperability standard that’s increasingly powering token transfers in the ecosystem.

For The Graph, the CCIP is what it looks to leverage to enable secure cross-chain transfers of GRT.

GRT is going cross-chain

Notably, Chainlink will help The Graph bridge GRT across top crypto networks such as Arbitrum, Base, and Solana.

A multi-chain expansion is in the pipeline as the protocol enhances its web3 traction.

“As web3 embraces a multi-chain future, The Graph is advancing efforts to meet developers and users where they build,” The Graph wrote in a blog post. “With the upcoming integration of Chainlink CCIP, The Graph seeks to enable secure, reliable GRT transfers across major networks while laying the foundation for broader cross-chain functionality.”

The Graph price: is $1 next?

Simply, GRT is ready for a run in the market, with features such as cross-chain staking, delegation, and query fee payments with the token now possible.

Big news for GRT holders, who cheered the integration with a flurry of buys.

According to CoinMarketCap, The Graph’s price rose from lows of $0.10 to above $0.12, while volume increased by 20% to over $71 million.

This price gain may see further movement if Bitcoin continues higher. The interoperability that also brings Solana developers into the fold means The Graph’s collaboration with Chainlink could be massive for GRT adoption in Solana’s increasingly wider developer community.

Currently, GRT trades near $0.128, with bulls in control as the price has gone up more than 40% in the past month.

Breaking to highs of $0.15, which bulls failed to keep in February, will be crucial. Beyond this, $0.48 and then the psychological $1 will be the main hurdles.

On the downside, bears might want to refocus on $0.10 and $0.09, key levels in the past month.
