Chainlink ETF Launch Signals Growing Institutional Confidence
-

Chainlink is drawing fresh institutional attention as the second U.S. spot ETF tied to the asset officially entered the market. The Bitwise Chainlink ETF (CLNK) debuted on NYSE Arca with $2.59 million in net inflows on its first trading day, adding to momentum that began with Grayscale’s earlier Chainlink Trust launch.
While Bitwise’s inflows were smaller than Grayscale’s initial debut, the combined effect has pushed total LINK ETF assets close to $100 million. This steady expansion of regulated investment vehicles reflects growing confidence in Chainlink’s role as critical infrastructure for decentralized finance, even as short-term price action remains pressured by broader market weakness.
