Grayscale recently launched a new Chainlink Trust ETF, ticker symbol GLNK, which is now trading on the market. The setup of this fund is quite interesting — within the first three months, if the size exceeds $1 billion, management fees are waived; after that, a 0.35% annual fee will be charged.
However, investors need to pay attention to a few key issues. First, GLNK is not protected under the regulatory framework of the Investment Company Act of 1940, which means higher risks and greater volatility. Second, this product does not hold LINK tokens directly, which introduces additional structural risks. Grayscale explicitly states in the product description that investors may face the risk of losing their entire principal, and this must be taken seriously. If you plan to participate, be sure to fully understand these risk factors.

The first three months free are indeed tempting, but structural risk is the real trap.

The free trial period is tempting, but structural risk is the real flaw.

Zero-fee for three months is indeed attractive, but the structural risk needs to be closely monitored.

Three months free sounds very attractive, but that setup which isn't protected under the 1940 Act does have some issues, which is why Grayscale makes sure to clearly state the risks in the risk warning. I'm a bit concerned about GLNK's structure not holding LINK directly; adding an extra intermediary layer seems to introduce additional risk. If the 1 billion threshold isn't reached, the fees will come into play, so whether it's worth it or not needs to be carefully calculated.
