Chainlink rallies 12% after Grayscale drops first LINK ETF

Chainlink finally got the Wall Street makeover it’s been hinting at for years.

Once Grayscale rolled out the exchange-traded fund tied to LINK, the token rallied. At last check on Tuesday, it was up 12.7% to $13.40 — a welcome bounce for an asset that’s been slogging through a rough year.

Summary
  • LINK jumps 8% after Grayscale launches the first U.S. ETF dedicated to the Chainlink token.
  • GLNK offers regulated exposure to LINK but isn’t a traditional 1940 Act ETF.
  • The debut comes as LINK remains down nearly 40% on the year.
Chainlink

Trading under the ticker GLNK, the new Grayscale fund gives investors an easy, brokerage-friendly way to get exposure to Chainlink without having to explain private keys to their financial advisor.

It’s the first U.S. ETF dedicated to tracking LINK, the engine behind Chainlink’s decentralized oracle network — the tech that feeds smart contracts everything from weather alerts to price feeds to who won last night’s election.

Since Chainlink was founded in 2014 by Sergey Nazarov and Steve Elli, it has made it indispensable across DeFi, gaming, NFTs, and a slew of onchain markets, where it helps secure tens of billions of dollars in value, according to Grayscale.

One caveat for eager buyers: GLNK isn’t a traditional Investment Company Act ETF, CoinDesk reports. It simply holds LINK on behalf of shareholders and doesn’t come with all the consumer protections of more buttoned-up funds.

Still, the NYSE Arca listing marks a big leap from its days as a 2021 private placement and later as an OTC Markets product. For both institutions and retail traders, LINK just became a whole lot easier to access — which, given its 39% slide this year, might feel like the confidence boost it needed.

Fed rate decision September 2025

Fed rate decision September 2025

The post Fed rate decision September 2025 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. WASHINGTON – The Federal Reserve on Wednesday approved a widely anticipated rate cut and signaled that two more are on the way before the end of the year as concerns intensified over the U.S. labor market. In an 11-to-1 vote signaling less dissent than Wall Street had anticipated, the Federal Open Market Committee lowered its benchmark overnight lending rate by a quarter percentage point. The decision puts the overnight funds rate in a range between 4.00%-4.25%. Newly-installed Governor Stephen Miran was the only policymaker voting against the quarter-point move, instead advocating for a half-point cut. Governors Michelle Bowman and Christopher Waller, looked at for possible additional dissents, both voted for the 25-basis point reduction. All were appointed by President Donald Trump, who has badgered the Fed all summer to cut not merely in its traditional quarter-point moves but to lower the fed funds rate quickly and aggressively. In the post-meeting statement, the committee again characterized economic activity as having “moderated” but added language saying that “job gains have slowed” and noted that inflation “has moved up and remains somewhat elevated.” Lower job growth and higher inflation are in conflict with the Fed’s twin goals of stable prices and full employment.  “Uncertainty about the economic outlook remains elevated” the Fed statement said. “The Committee is attentive to the risks to both sides of its dual mandate and judges that downside risks to employment have risen.” Markets showed mixed reaction to the developments, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average up more than 300 points but the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite posting losses. Treasury yields were modestly lower. At his post-meeting news conference, Fed Chair Jerome Powell echoed the concerns about the labor market. “The marked slowing in both the supply of and demand for workers is unusual in this less dynamic…
