- Chainlink’s price rose to above $23.00 after Grayscale filed an S-1 for a Chainlink spot exchange-traded fund.
- Grayscale seeks approval to convert its Chainlink Trust to a spot ETF.
Chainlink (LINK) price rose sharply to break to highs of $23.29 and see buyers edge towards the key resistance area of $24.00.
The oracle network’s native token moved higher alongside other top altcoins, but the current momentum also followed news that Grayscale had filed for a LINK spot ETF with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.
While LINK remains below the key resistance level, gains on the day and the overall outlook may allow buyers to target fresh highs.
Grayscale files for a Chainlink spot ETF
Grayscale is one of the top crypto asset managers and its moves in the space have contributed to significant traction for altcoins.
The company is taking its growth to another level with an S-1 filing for approval to launch a Chainlink spot exchange-traded fund.
According to an SEC filing, Grayscale has applied for permission to convert its Chainlink Trust into a spot ETF, with the asset expected to trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker GLNK. Grayscale, which also has applications for ETFs tracking Dogecoin, Litecoin, Avalanche, and XRP, among others, is eyeing a cash-based model for the LINK spot ETF.
The SEC approved spot ETFs for Bitcoin and Ethereum in the U.S. in 2024, with the prices of BTC and ETH surging as the funds went live. Inflows have skyrocketed since, and analysts predict potentially notable traction for other crypto spot ETFs awaiting the securities watchdog’s nod.
Chainlink’s adoption as a decentralized oracle network has recently received a boost following the U.S. Department of Commerce’s move to bring macroeconomic data onchain.
