Grayscale files quarterly report with SEC for Chainlink Trust ETF, marking routine milestone for LINK fund

Grayscale Investments has submitted a Form 10-Q quarterly report to the Securities and Exchange Commission for its Chainlink Trust ETF, ticker GLNK. The filing covers the period ending March 31, 2026, and was submitted on May 8, 2026.

From private trust to public ETF

Grayscale originally formed the Chainlink Trust on December 18, 2020, as a Delaware statutory trust. For years, it operated as a private placement vehicle, accessible primarily to accredited investors.

That changed on December 2, 2025, when shares of GLNK began trading on NYSE Arca. The conversion from a closed private trust to a full-blown exchange-traded fund opened the product up to anyone with a brokerage account.

The fund is designed to give investors exposure to Chainlink’s LINK token without requiring them to set up a crypto wallet, figure out gas fees, or remember a seed phrase.

What Chainlink actually does

Chainlink operates as a decentralized oracle network that feeds real-world data into smart contracts. If a DeFi protocol needs to know the current price of gold, or if an insurance contract needs to verify weather data, Chainlink’s network of oracles provides that information. The token is used to pay node operators who supply data to smart contracts, creating a utility-driven demand model.

The regulatory compliance picture

Grayscale also submitted an 8-K filing on July 2, 2026. A Form 144, anticipated around August 6, 2026, signals potential sales of restricted securities by affiliates or insiders.
