Grayscale Bets Big on LINK Amid Market Slump

Chainlink (LINK) continued to feel the impact of negative market sentiment in November. The selling pressure pushed its price down 50% from last quarter’s peak. However, Grayscale and several analysts still maintain a bullish outlook.

The three-month decline has also driven LINK back to the most important support level of the past two years. This zone is where traders may find new opportunities.

How Much LINK Is Grayscale Holding?

Grayscale – one of the largest investment firms in the digital asset sector – recently released an extremely optimistic research report on the LINK token. The report highlights Chainlink’s role as a foundational infrastructure layer for decentralized finance (DeFi) and asset tokenization.

The report, titled ‘The LINK Between Worlds,’ describes Chainlink as a middleware module. It enables on-chain applications to use off-chain data securely. It also allows them to interact across blockchains and meet enterprise-level compliance needs.

Zach Pandl, Head of Research at Grayscale, noted that tokenized assets remain very small today. They represent only about one basis point (0.01%) of the global equity and bond market capitalization. As a result, the growth potential is enormous.

“Tokenized assets are tiny today: just ~1 basis point (0.01%) of global equity and bond market cap. They will grow enormously over the next decade. In our view there is no project more central to making tokenization a reality than Chainlink,” Zach Pandl said.

The report was released shortly after Grayscale filed an application with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for a spot LINK ETF, which would be listed under the ticker GLNK. According to Chainlink’s community liaison Zach Rynes, the application was recently amended and is expected to launch on December 2, 2025.

At the same time, Bitwise’s Chainlink ETF has been listed on the Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation (DTCC) platform under the ticker CLNK.

Furthermore, Grayscale Investments’ LINK holdings surpassed 1.3 million tokens in November 2025, according to CoinGlass data. Their holdings have increased more than fourfold over the past two years.

This trend reflects Grayscale’s growing confidence in Chainlink’s long-term potential, particularly as the firm continues to accumulate during periods of lower prices.

Chainlink (LINK) Faces a Recovery Opportunity While Entering Its Best Buying Zone in 2 Years

Another key indicator is LINK’s Exchange Supply Ratio, which hit a new low in November. This ratio measures exchange reserves as a percentage of the total supply.

CryptoQuant data shows the supply of LINK on exchanges dropped from 170 million tokens in October to 131 million in November. As a result, the Exchange Supply Ratio fell to its lowest level ever at 0.13.

This signals that fewer LINK tokens are available for trading. It reduces selling pressure, suggesting that investors are withdrawing tokens from exchanges for long-term holding. Such scarcity often precedes a major price rally when demand eventually exceeds supply.

On the technical side, LINK remains inside a large bullish structure and has reached its strongest support level in two years.

“LINK has been grinding inside a big ascending channel, and price is now right at the bottom of that structure — a spot where it has bounced multiple times before,” analyst CryptoPulse stated.

In summary, with support from Grayscale, upcoming ETFs, record-low exchange supply, and a solid technical position, Chainlink now stands on the edge of a strong recovery.
