Grayscale has launched the first-ever U.S. Chainlink ETF with the ticker GLNK on NYSE Arca, providing investors regulated access to LINK.
The ETF converts Grayscale’s private Chainlink trust into a fully regulated fund, allowing traditional investors to hold LINK without direct crypto custody.
Chainlink’s decentralized oracle network connects smart contracts with real-world data, supporting DeFi, NFTs, gaming, cross-chain communication, and tokenization.
On its debut, GLNK attracted $37 million in first-day inflows, and Chainlink’s price surged about 7–8 percent to reach approximately $13 per token.
The launch expands institutional and retail exposure to Chainlink, strengthening its role as critical infrastructure for Web3 applications and decentralized finance.
