Will Chainlink ETFs Launch Soon? Exploring the Prospects of Institutional Adoption

The world of cryptocurrency is gearing up for a significant shift with the potential launch of Chainlink exchange-traded funds (ETFs). These products, set to offer regulated exposure to the crypto powerhouse known as Chainlink (LINK), are gaining momentum in institutional investment. As asset managers file for approvals, analysts predict a wave of launches across various sectors. The SEC has already approved applications for a number of ETFs. Notably, Bitwise Asset Management filed an S-1 registration statement on August 26, 2025, to create a spot Chainlink ETF, aiming to track LINK’s performance directly. This product is to be held in custody by Coinbase Custody Trust Company. Grayscale Investments followed suit with its filing for a spot ETF, ticker GLNK, which could debut on the NYSE Arca as early as December 2, 2025. These filings reflect a strategic push to make Chainlink more accessible to broader investor audiences who might prefer regulated vehicles over direct token ownership.
