Bitwise Files S-1 for Chainlink (LINK) ETF: Institutional Adoption Heats Up

Wall Street's crypto embrace accelerates as Bitwise drops regulatory paperwork for groundbreaking Chainlink ETF.

The Oracle Revolution Goes Mainstream

Bitwise just filed an S-1 application with the SEC for a spot Chainlink ETF—marking another institutional leap into real-world asset tokenization. This isn't just another crypto fund; it's betting big on the infrastructure that powers decentralized finance.

Why LINK Stands Out

While Bitcoin ETFs grabbed headlines, Chainlink's oracle network quietly became the backbone for trillions in smart contract value. The ETF filing signals that institutional players now see data reliability as critical infrastructure—not just speculative crypto plays.

The Fine Print Matters

SEC approval remains uncertain, but the filing itself demonstrates growing confidence in crypto's infrastructure plays. TradFi finally understands: oracles might be less sexy than moonbags, but they're what actually makes blockchain useful beyond speculation.

Wall Street's Latest Love Affair

Another day, another ETF filing—because nothing says 'disruptive technology' like wrapping it in decades-old financial packaging. At least this time they're betting on the pipes rather than just the plumbing.

Bitwise has appointed Coinbase Custody Trust Company, LLC as custodian, responsible for safeguarding LINK reserves. Assets will not be FDIC-insured, but Coinbase Custody maintains private insurance policies.
