Debunked: False Reports of SEC Approval for Chainlink LINK ETF
Social media posts falsely claiming SEC approval of a ProShares Chainlink ($LINK) ETF with a launch date of April 29, 2025, have been debunked. The viral misinformation referenced a December 2023 document unrelated to ProShares, which actually pertained to an iShares LINK ETF filing. Neither the SEC nor ProShares have provided official confirmation supporting the alleged launch date.
Market participants should remain cautious, as misinformation about ETF approvals can cause unnecessary volatility in $LINK and related derivatives. While the Chainlink ecosystem continues to attract institutional interest, regulatory milestones should always be verified through primary sources.
