Grayscale Prepares for First US Chainlink ETF Launch This Week

Industry analysts predict a major milestone in the crypto ETF landscape as Grayscale Investments is set to convert its existing Chainlink Trust into what could become the first U.S. spot Chainlink (LINK) exchange-traded fund. While an official launch date remains unconfirmed, experts suggest the earliest feasible time frame for this transition is December 2, 2025, assuming all regulatory hurdles are cleared. The proposed ETF, designated “GLNK” on NYSE Arca, would provide regulated spot exposure to LINK and potentially include provisions for staking rewards if allowed by regulators.
