【Crypto World】Another Chainlink (LINK) spot ETF is here. Bitwise’s CLNK was officially listed on NYSE Arca, with a net inflow of $2.59 million on the first day, pushing the total assets of LINK series ETFs past $95 million.

What’s even more interesting is the on-chain activity. Data shows that large investors are building positions aggressively—one wallet increased its holdings by 342,557 LINK in just two days, investing $4.81 million. It’s worth noting that at this time, LINK’s price is only $13.8, and the market sentiment is not very optimistic, with prices still down 1.2%.

These numbers reflect an interesting contrast: retail investors may be on the sidelines, but institutions and big funds are already taking action. The combination of ETF inflows and whale accumulation indicates that major players are still optimistic about Chainlink’s long-term value.

Whales are accumulating at low levels, while retail investors are still hesitating. The gap is truly remarkable.

Whales are buying, and we're still just talking about it on paper --- In just two days, 4.81 million was invested. This guy is really optimistic --- If institutions dare to add more, I’ll be reassured. Whether retail investors follow or not is another matter --- Another ETF and whales, this rhythm is a bit something --- Still dropping to $13.8? It’s really time to buy the dip, everyone --- Wait, can big players really see something? But following along to eat some meat isn’t bad either --- I just want to know if these whales have been lurking for a long time --- Only a 1.2% drop, what’s there to say? Is this the bottom? --- When institutions step in, it means things are about to change, right? --- Can LINK break 20 this time? I bet it will
