‘Real product market fit’ – Can Chainlink’s ETF moment finally unlock $20?

2025/12/05 10:26

Chainlink has officially joined the U.S. Spot ETF club, following Grayscale’s successful debut on the 3rd of December. 

The product achieved $13 million in day-one trading volume, significantly lower than the Solana [SOL] and Ripple [XRP], which saw $56 million and $33 million during their respective launches. 

However, the Grayscale spot Chainlink [LINK] ETF saw $42 million in inflows during the launch. Reacting to the performance, Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas called it “another insta-hit.”

For his part, James Seyffart, another Bloomberg ETF analyst, said the debut volume was “strong” and “impressive.” He added, 

The performance also meant broader market demand for LINK exposure, noted Peter Mintzberg, Grayscale CEO. 

Impact on LINK markets

Bitwise has also applied for a Spot LINK ETF and could receive the green light to trade soon. That said, LINK’s Open Interest (OI) surged from $194 million to nearly $240 million after the launch. 

The surge indicated a surge in speculative interest for the token on the Futures market.

By extension, it also showed bullish sentiment following the debut.

On the price charts, LINK rallied 8.6%, extending its weekly recovery to over 20% from around $12 to $15 before easing to $14.4 as of press time. It was still 47% down from the recent peak of $27. 

The immediate overheads for bulls were $15 and $16, and clearing them could raise the odds for tagging $20. Especially if the ETF inflows extend.

Assessing Chainlink’s growth

Chainlink has grown over the years and has become the top decentralized oracle provider, offering numerous blockchain projects with real-world price data feeds. It debuted in 2019, but the LINK token was introduced earlier during the 2017 ICO boom. 

In 2023, it expanded to cross-blockchain support via the Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP). The partnerships have been scaled beyond crypto to include SWIFT and other institutions as the tokenization market gains traction. 

In fact, one user said LINK had the “real product market fit” given its viability in the tokenized market.

In the short term, however, the $16 level could be an overhead obstacle, as over 53 million LINK tokens were bought at this level (red).  If the holders opt for break-even and call it a day, more selling pressure could follow at that level.

Final Thoughts

  • U.S spot LINK ETF’s impressive debut has been hailed by analysts as an indication of institutional demand for altcoins. 
  • An extended LINK recovery on the price charts may depend on a decisive reclaim of the $16 level.
