Grayscale Investments, a leading digital asset management firm, is poised to launch the first spot Chainlink (LINK) exchange-traded fund (ETF) in the United States this week. According to Nate Geraci, co-founder of the ETF Institute, this move marks a significant milestone in the integration of digital assets into traditional financial instruments.
Geraci noted via X that Grayscale will be able to uplist/convert its Chainlink private trust to an ETF, providing investors with a more accessible and regulated way to gain exposure to the price of Chainlink. This announcement comes as another LINK ETF from competing crypto asset manager Bitwise is waiting in the wings.
Geraci’s prediction aligns with estimates from Bloomberg Intelligence, which has tipped Grayscale’s product to launch on Dec. 2, according to Bloomberg senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas. Last week, Balchunas predicted a “steady supply” of potentially over 100 new crypto ETFs to launch in the next six months.
Balchunas clarified that while five spot crypto ETFs are launching over the next six days, he anticipates a “steady supply” of them hitting the market in the coming months.
The Grayscale Chainlink Trust will follow the same model as several other of the firm’s ETFs, converting its LINK private trust into an ETF, five years after its initial formation in late 2020. The product will generate returns by tracking the spot price of LINK, as well as returns received from staking LINK.
Grayscale has expressed bullish sentiment regarding the Chainlink ecosystem, describing it in a recent research report as a “critical connective tissue” linking crypto to traditional finance.
The change in SEC leadership this year has unlocked the path for crypto ETFs in the US, with ETFs tied to assets like Solana (SOL), XRP (XRP) and Dogecoin (DOGE) all receiving the green light this year.
Last month, Grayscale also launched a spot XRP and DOGE ETF. This signals increasing confidence in digital assets from both institutional and retail investors, paving the way for further innovation and growth in the sector.
