Chainlink just got a major breakthrough in the U.S. market. The SEC has officially green-lit Bitwise's spot Chainlink ETF for trading on the NYSE, marking the first time LINK has direct access to traditional equity markets. This is huge for bringing institutional capital into the ecosystem.

What makes this even sweeter? The ETF launches this week with a 0% management fee for the first three months—basically free access for early adopters. That's a pretty aggressive move to attract investors. Whether this sparks a wave of Web3 spot ETF approvals remains to be seen, but it's definitely a signal that regulators are warming up to the space. Keep an eye on how trading volumes develop once it goes live.
