US spot Chainlink (<a href="https://x.com/search?q=%24LINK&amp;src=cashtag_click" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">$LINK</a>) ETFs have recorded their first week of net outflows since the products launched, snapping a streak that lasted more than 200 consecutive trading days. The figure, roughly $220,000 in negative weekly flows, is modest in absolute terms, but the symbolic significance is hard to dismiss.

<cite>Grayscale launched the first US spot Chainlink ETF, GLNK, on NYSE Arca on December 2, 2025.</cite><cite>The ETF attracted $37 million in first-day inflows, and LINK rebounded more than 7% as investors responded to renewed institutional attention.</cite> From that point forward, the LINK spot ETF complex went on an almost unbroken run of positive flows.
<cite>Analyst data shows the outflow ended 203 days without a negative daily reading.</cite> The turning point came on June 22, when <cite>data shared by Arca showed the LINK spot ETF complex posting a daily net outflow of approximately $490,920.</cite><cite>That reduced cumulative net inflows from about $123.82 million to $123.33 million, while total net assets fell to roughly $100.88 million, compared with more than $107 million one week earlier.</cite>
<cite>Institutional interest appears to be wavering, as evidenced by the first net capital outflow from LINK spot ETFs after a record-breaking streak of entries that lasted over half a year.</cite><cite>LINK ETFs had been among the best-performing altcoin ETFs, though only Avalanche (AVAX) spot ETFs are yet to see outflows since their own debut.</cite>

There are early signs the outflow may be temporary. <cite>According to SoSoValue data, Chainlink spot ETFs recorded net inflows of approximately $137,710 on the Tuesday following the outflow session.</cite><cite>Although the inflow remains relatively small, it could signal improving investor sentiment if the trend continues over the coming days.</cite>
The broader price picture for $LINK remains under pressure. <cite>The asset has logged a year-to-date loss of nearly 45%, with price testing levels not seen with this much downside pressure in quite some time.</cite><cite>LINK is currently trading below all its major moving averages, including the critical 200-day SMA near the $10.15 mark.</cite>
On the fundamental side, <a href="https://x.com/Chainlink" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">@Chainlink</a> continues to expand its real-world footprint. <cite>The protocol announced the formation of a new working group involving multinational organizations across Europe and South Korea, collectively representing more than $10 trillion in assets under management, focused on modernizing foreign exchange infrastructure and evaluating a shift from traditional T+2 settlement to real-time T+0 settlement.</cite> Whether that kind of adoption news is enough to restore positive ETF flow momentum remains the key question heading into July.
