ChainLink wavers: The plunge of LINK derails Grayscale's ETF

The ETF market is experiencing a mixed quarter, as some products struggle to maintain their growth. ChainLink illustrates this situation with a fund whose value depends directly on a single asset. Launched on NYSE Arca in December 2025, Grayscale’s product started with solid inflows. Since then, the drop in LINK has reduced its net asset value and slowed its net assets. The latest quarterly report thus confirms a marked slowdown, without signaling any massive investor withdrawals.

In Brief

A Difficult Second Quarter for ChainLink

On August 7, Grayscale filed a 10-Q form with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The document concerns the Chainlink Trust, which became an ETF under the symbol GLNK in December 2025.

As of June 30, the fund’s net asset value was $72.2 million. This level remains close to the $73 million recorded in April, despite previously observed capital inflows. The report mainly shows the effect of the price drop on the product’s overall value. At the end of the second quarter, the token was worth $7.25, compared to $8.77 during the previous quarterly filing in May. The decline thus reached 18% over three months, according to figures provided by Grayscale.
