Bitwise Chainlink ETF is registering an indeterminate number of common shares of beneficial interest for continuous offering under ticker CLNK. The Trust seeks to provide exposure to Chainlink it holds, less operating expenses and liabilities, and calculates daily NAV using the CME CF Chainlink–Dollar Reference Rate – New York Variant. Shares trade on NYSE Arca and may trade at a premium or discount to NAV.
Creations and redemptions occur in 10,000-share Baskets with authorized participants. The Trust pays Bitwise Investment Advisers, LLC a Sponsor Fee of 0.34% per annum of its Chainlink holdings, accrued daily and payable in Chainlink monthly in arrears. Cash deposits from Cash Creation Orders are used to acquire Chainlink. As of September 28, 2026, the Trust does not engage in staking; adding staking would require an amendment to its registration statement. The Shares are speculative and investors could lose their entire investment; Trust assets are not FDIC-insured.
Bitwise Chainlink ETF (CLNK) files Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to its Form S-1, maintaining a continuous primary offering of an indeterminate number of common shares of beneficial interest and stating that no additional securities are being registered. The amendment shifts the registration to use incorporation by reference and folds in Bitwise Chainlink ETF’s Form 10‑K for March 20, 2026 and Form 10‑Qs for May 8, 2026 and August 12, 2026, while updating other disclosures.
The trust is an exchange‑traded product listed on NYSE Arca under ticker CLNK, holding only Chainlink and valuing its NAV off the CME CF Chainlink–Dollar Reference Rate – New York Variant. Coinbase Custody safeguards Chainlink in segregated cold storage, and Bitwise Investment Advisers acts as sponsor, charging a 0.34% annual unitary fee on Chainlink holdings that covers most operating costs. Creations and redemptions occur in baskets of 10,000 shares, either in‑kind for Chainlink or for cash that is used to buy or sell Chainlink.
The trust is an emerging growth company and not registered under the Investment Company Act or regulated as a commodity pool. The prospectus highlights potential future staking (subject to a further amendment), extensive digital‑asset and custody risks, possible tax events on each Chainlink sale, and emphasizes that the Shares are speculative and may result in a total loss of invested capital.
Bitwise Chainlink ETF reported its first operating period since launch in January 2026. As of June 30, 2026, net assets were $19.9 million, invested almost entirely in 2,766,406 Chainlink tokens valued at $7.20 each, with Principal Market NAV per share of $13.10 on 1,520,000 shares outstanding.
From inception on January 13, 2026 through June 30, 2026, the Trust recorded a net decrease in net assets from operations of $7.4 million, driven mainly by unrealized depreciation of $7.39 million as Chainlink’s price fell from $13.73 to $7.20. Total return at NAV over this period was -47.60%, including a small net investment loss of $15,250 after Sponsor fee waivers.
The Trust charges a 0.34% annual Sponsor Fee, which was fully waived on the first $500 million of assets through April 13, 2026. The Sponsor pays substantially all ordinary operating expenses, so future erosion in NAV should primarily reflect Chainlink price movements and ongoing Sponsor Fees. The Trust is an emerging growth company and is treated as a grantor trust for U.S. tax purposes, so income and expenses flow through to shareholders.
Bitwise Chainlink ETF reported its first quarter of operations, reflecting the launch of the fund and early performance tied to Chainlink’s price. Net assets reached $15.48 million as of March 31, 2026, backed by 1,766,259.4192 Chainlink held in custody.
The Principal Market NAV per share fell from $25.00 at commencement on January 13, 2026 to $15.96, producing a total return of -36.16%, driven by Chainlink’s decline from $13.73 to $8.77 over the period. The Trust recorded an unrealized loss of $(2.84) million and no realized gains or losses.
The ETF created 970,000 shares (creations of $18.32 million) with minimal redemptions, and ended the quarter with 1,240,000 shares outstanding. Operating expenses are structured as a 0.34% annual Sponsor Fee, which the Sponsor fully waived on the first $500 million of assets from January 14 through April 13, 2026, resulting in no net expenses or net investment income for the quarter.
Bitwise Chainlink ETF files its annual report describing how it gives stock‑market access to Chainlink, a digital asset that runs on the Ethereum blockchain. The fund is listed on NYSE Arca under ticker CLNK and held 830,000 Shares outstanding as of March 16, 2026.
The ETF holds only Chainlink, values its portfolio each day using the CME CF Chainlink–Dollar Reference Rate – New York Variant, and keeps tokens primarily in Coinbase Custody cold storage. It does not yet stake Chainlink but intends to add staking later as a secondary objective, sharing any staking rewards after fees.
The Sponsor charges a unitary fee of 0.34% per year on Chainlink holdings, temporarily waived on the first $500 million of assets for three months after listing. Shares are created and redeemed only in 10,000‑share baskets, either in‑kind for Chainlink or for cash via approved trading counterparties or Coinbase’s agency execution model.
