Bitwise, Grayscale, and Tuttle Capital have submitted applications for Chainlink (LINK)-linked ETFs, highlighting increased institutional interest in the cryptocurrency. Bitwise's proposal is notable as it represents the first U.S. spot Chainlink ETF, utilizing in-kind creation and Coinbase Custody. Grayscale intends to convert its existing Chainlink Trust into a spot ETF, potentially incorporating a staking mechanism. Meanwhile, Tuttle Capital's 2x leveraged ETF seeks to enhance daily Chainlink performance through swaps and options. These filings, made in 2025, are poised to launch once the U.S. government reopens, potentially providing new liquidity and investment avenues for Chainlink.
