Grayscale Investments announces the launch of the “Grayscale Chainlink Trust,” designed to give institutional investors the possibility to take part in Chainlink (LINK) through a regulated security. This trust passively invests in LINK thus taking out the burden that come along with holding or managing the cryptocy directly. The Grayscale Chainlink Trust follows the CoinDesk Chainlink Price Index (LNX), which gives a price in USD for LINK’s current price. This index brings together real-time prices from different trading platforms.
Moreover, the Trust is listed as “GLNK” on OTC Markets Group and allows investors to purchase shares through normal brokerage accounts. According to Grayscale, this investment product is meant to track the market price of LINK while netting fees and costs. But shares have typically been sold for more or less the value of the assets held by the Trust.
The Trust was initially established on February 26, 2021, and began trading on OTC Markets on May 19, 2022. Grayscale charges a 2.5% management fee for the product, with no distribution or performance fees. Also, the shares do not pay regular dividends, which matches the rising interest in LINK-based financial products.
The announcement comes a day after a Donald Trump backed project, World Liberty Financial Initiative (WLFI) purchased more than 41,000 LINK tokens for $1 million. Shortly following WLFI’s buy, LINK’s value boomed 20% in value to trade at $28.40. The WLFI investment attracted the attention of big cryptocy investors, with one of them purchasing nearly $5 million worth of LINK at an average price of $28.18.
