The LINK price is already trading at a 50% discount from its January 2025 highs of $30. However, throughout this year, Chainlink as a blockchain has become fundamentally stronger and has seen strong whale accumulation in recent times. Moreover, the demand could surge further with the first ETF going live in the US.

Grayscale Chainlink ETF Goes Live on NYSE

On Dec. 2, the Grayscale Chainlink ETF (GLNK) went live for trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), becoming the first US spot product offering direct access to LINK.

The firm’s decision to convert its existing Chainlink Trust into the publicly traded GLNK ETF marks a major shift in institutional access to the asset. Moreover, the GLNK ETF saw 1.17 million shares traded on its opening day, nearly 28 times its average daily volume as a private trust.

GLNK closed its first session with roughly $14 million in trading volume. While modest in absolute terms, the figure is significant given that Coinbase’s daily LINK volume typically ranges between $30 million and $40 million. This shows that the ETF captured nearly half of the trading activity on the first day of going live.
