GLNKBGrayscale Chainlink Trust Link

XRPZAFranklin XRP ETF

In short

GLNK Grayscale's LINK vehicle began life as a 2021 private trust and became the first US spot Chainlink product to trade on an exchange. One job: hold LINK, let the share price follow it, no leverage and no derivatives.

XRPZ No data

Stated mandate

GLNK The Trust passively seeks to have its shares reflect the value of LINK held by the Trust, less expenses and liabilities. It does not seek returns beyond tracking LINK and does not use leverage or derivatives.

XRPZ No data

Why people hold it

  • GLNK One job, plainly stated: passively reflect the value of the LINK it holds, less expenses. No leverage, no derivatives, no side bets.
  • The first US spot Chainlink product to reach an exchange, backed by a trust that has been reporting since its 2021 debut in private-placement form.decrypt.co
  • LINK exposure arrives through a NYSE Arca ticker in an ordinary brokerage account: no wallet, no seed phrase, no crypto exchange login.globenewswire.com
  • Sits in the upper half of its spot-crypto peer group, with liquidity that holds up for everyday retail-size trades.

XRPZ No data

Worth knowing

  • GLNK One token, no cushion. Everything here rides on Chainlink's price, and crypto drawdowns tend to be deep and fast.
  • It is a grantor trust, not a 1940 Act fund, so the regulations and protections that come with registered ETFs and mutual funds do not apply.globenewswire.com
  • At 0.35% it is not the price leader: Bitwise's CLNK lists at 0.34% for the same token, and several spot-crypto rivals such as TSUI and TDOT sit at 0.30%.
