Since 1 July 2026 only platforms authorised under MiCA may operate in Spain. These ones are and have the pair open — two different things, and both worth checking. You can verify the authorisation yourself in the register we keep up to date:
Is this your first purchase? Before opening an account, read how to buy cryptocurrency in Spain step by step: the right order, what they will ask you for and what you pay extra if you press the wrong button.
Being authorised does not mean they are the best option for you: it means they may operate legally. Fees and service are something you have to look at separately. This is not investment advice.
Availability checked on 14/09/2026. We cannot say either way for Bitpanda: it does not publish its list of trading pairs.
And when you sell at a profit, it has to be declared: work out what you pay in Spanish income tax using the FIFO method the tax office requires. And if you hold more than €50,000 on platforms outside Spain, you also have to file form 721, which is informational and costs nothing.
Chainlink trades under the ticker LINK and ranks #17 by market capitalisation in the CoinGecko catalogue. It is a token issued on the Ethereum network, not a coin with a chain of its own. Its contract on that network is 0x514910771af9ca656af840dff83e8264ecf986ca. It is also deployed on BNB Chain, Solana and Base. Its genesis block is dated 16 September 2017. CoinGecko lists it under infrastructure, decentralised finance (DeFi) and oracles.
Chainlink is the industry-standard decentralized oracle network that solves the "oracle problem" by connecting smart contracts with real-world data. Blockchains cannot access external information on their own, so Chainlink acts as a secure bridge, enabling smart contracts to react to real-world events using verified, tamper-proof data. It is widely considered one of the first decentralized oracle networks and is the market leader in bringing off-chain data on-chain. The platform operates through a decentralized network of nodes that fetch, validate, and deliver data to smart contracts. When a contract requests information like a stock price, a committee of independent nodes retrieves and aggregates the data to reach consensus, then delivers a single trustworthy answer. Chainlink offers a suite of services including Data Feeds for asset prices, CCIP for cross-chain token transfers and messaging, Automation for triggering smart contract functions, and Proof of Reserve for verifying asset collateralization. Chainlink has established itself as critical infrastructure for both DeFi and institutional adoption, with partnerships including Swift, Euroclear, Mastercard, UBS, ANZ, Fidelity International, and J.P. Morgan. Its institutional products include the Chainlink Runtime Environment for tokenized asset workflows, Confidential Compute for privacy-preserving computation, and the Automated Compliance Engine for embedding regulatory rules into smart contracts. The LINK token is the native asset used to pay node operators for services, fund subscription accounts, and incentivize network security through staking. Node operators stake LINK as collateral, which can be slashed if they provide inaccurate data. Chainlink was co-founded in 2017 by Sergey Nazarov and Steve Ellis, who co-authored the white paper with Ari Juels, and raised $32 million in its September 2017 ICO.

Price scenarios
What distance Chainlink would have to cover to reach its historical reference points.
See scenarios ↓Chainlink trades today at $11.08. Its all-time high was $52.70, reached on May 9, 2021. Going back to that level would mean a rise of 375.6% from the current price, that is, multiplying it by 4.76.
At the other end, its all-time low was $0.148183 on November 28, 2017: from there the price has multiplied by 75. That path already happened and says nothing about the next one.

There is no method that reliably predicts the price of a cryptocurrency. It depends on regulation, on adoption, on interest rates, on the decisions of a handful of very large firms and on market sentiment — none of which follows from today's price. A figure twelve months out would not be analysis: it would be an invented number that looks like data.
What you can look at is right above, and it is verifiable: the all-time high and low with their dates, how far away each one is and the recent path. With that you decide for yourself, which is rather more than a figure with nothing behind it gives you.
