Chainlink eyes DeFi dominance? Assessing $70B TVS, ETF inflows & more…
Despite the 2025 market cycle's hype, institutional investors appear hesitant towards "fundamentals-led" narratives, as seen with Ethereum's price decline despite strong on-chain activity. A clear divergence emerged in ETF flows, with Chainlink's Grayscale ETF (GLNK) attracting $4.05 million in inflows while Ethereum's saw significant outflows. Chainlink's ETF inflows even outpaced Dogecoin's, despite its smaller market cap, suggesting institutional interest may be driven by fundamentals rather than short-term speculation. This is supported by Chainlink's growing role in DeFi, including its integration into Korea's stablecoin expansion via the Global Alliance for KRW Stablecoins (GAKS) and a record $70 billion in Total Value Secured (TVS). These factors position Chainlink as a key infrastructure player, attracting institutional capital based on adoption, trust, and real-world utility.
