Grayscale Calls Chainlink ‘Essential Infrastructure’ for Tokenized Finance in New Research

Grayscale's new research report positions Chainlink as critical infrastructure for the expanding market of tokenized assets. The report highlights that Chainlink's services—including real-world data feeds, compliance tooling, and the Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP)—address key frictions hindering wider blockchain finance adoption. Grayscale views the LINK token as offering diversified exposure to the crypto infrastructure layer, calling Chainlink the "critical connective tissue between crypto and traditional finance." Although the current tokenization market is valued at $35 billion (only 0.01% of global fixed income and equity securities), Chainlink's integrations with major firms like S&P Global and FTSE Russell place it strongly for future growth as traditional markets explore on-chain solutions. This research follows Grayscale's filing to convert its Chainlink Trust into a potential NYSE Arca-listed ETF.
