Catenaa, Thursday, December 04, 2025-Grayscale introduced the first United States exchange traded fund tied to Chainlink, converting a private trust into a product listed on NYSE Arca.

The fund holds LINK tokens under the name Grayscale Chainlink Trust ETF, with the ticker GLNK.

The debut followed updated listing standards from the Securities and Exchange Commission that opened the door for more crypto based ETFs.

Grayscale said the move positions the new fund for regulated access to a major blockchain network used in data validation for smart contracts.

The product arrives as asset managers continue launching crypto themed ETFs. Institutional interest rose throughout 2025 with new offerings tied to Bitcoin, Solana and XRP.

Market analysts say Chainlink exposure adds a layer for investors tracking decentralized data services.

Chainlink’s system connects real world information to blockchains where automated contracts require reliable feeds. The launch of GLNK extends Grayscale’s footprint after earlier conversions of crypto trusts in the past two years.

Grayscale is among firms looking to broaden listings as investors shift toward regulated vehicles. Other companies this week also advanced plans for leveraged crypto exposure and tokenization related offerings.

The listing places Chainlink in front of investors on a major exchange at a time when crypto ETFs continue to mature.

Trading interest is expected to form around liquidity, fee structure and the spread between GLNK shares and LINK holdings.
