When the LINK ETF listed but faced a decline: Is it "good news fully priced in" or the beginning of "value revaluation"?

Bitwise's LINK spot ETF (CLNK) officially launched on the NYSE Arca yesterday, which should have been a milestone event for the industry. Yet the market reaction was intriguing—LINK's price dropped 3.5% immediately, with RSI approaching oversold levels. This classic "good news fully priced in" scenario actually reveals a deeper pricing logic currently at play in the market.

On the surface, it's profit-taking; beneath, it's a shift in pricing power:

1. The decline of event-driven trading: The ETF listing, as a clear milestone, triggered concentrated profit-taking by early-positioned "news traders." This short-term selling pressure actually indicates that the market had already fully priced in this positive news.

2. The real game is just beginning: The ETF listing is not the end, but the start of institutional capital's regular allocation. With CME launching futures in February, LINK will enter a new institutional liquidity ecosystem built on spot ETFs, futures contracts, and clearer commodity classification.

3. The valuation anchor is shifting: As LINK becomes an institutional allocation tool, its valuation logic will gradually shift from "ecosystem赋能 value" toward "AUM (Assets Under Management) competition." Initial incentives like fee waivers are designed precisely to win this pricing power.

Technically, $13.50 has become a key support level. But more importantly, the market needs time to digest the paradigm shift from "narrative trading" to "asset allocation."

This phenomenon offers us a冷静 (calm) perspective: When an asset is formally accepted by the traditional financial system, short-term price fluctuations often give way to a deeper revaluation process. After the noise settles, true value will be determined by sustained institutional capital flows and real-world ecosystem utility.

And as the market prices every development of financial products, another value-creation system continues to run in parallel—one that doesn't rely on exchange ticker symbols or ETF fee structures, but rather through the daily small actions of the community network, transforming the social potential of blockchain technology into reality.
