LINK is currently trading at all-time highs, having broken out of its consolidation against <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/bitcoin\/\">BTC<\/a> and the U.S. dollar a few weeks ago.<\/p>\n<p>The strength in the Chainlink coin comes as Grayscale's chief executive has hinted at an upcoming announcement that many expect to involve the popular cryptocurrency.<\/p>\n<h2>Chainlink moves higher on Grayscale rumors<\/h2>\n<p>Just minutes ago as of this article's writing, Michael Sonnenshein, the CEO of Grayscale Investments, posted this somewhat cryptic tweet below:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;<span class=\"css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0\">stay tuned CT, <\/span><span class=\"r-18u37iz\"><a class=\"css-4rbku5 css-18t94o4 css-901oao css-16my406 r-1n1174f r-1loqt21 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0\" role=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Grayscale\" data-focusable=\"true\">@Grayscale<\/a> <\/span>and I have something good for you in the AM!

Though considering recent company filings spotted online, many think this relates to potential altcoin investment vehicles that will be launched by the asset manager.<\/p>\n<p>Grayscale Investments is a Wall Street digital asset manager focused on allowing institutional players to obtain exposure to Bitcoin and Ethereum. While most of its assets under management are in its BTC and ETH positions, the company offers investment vehicles for assets down the crypto risk curve.<\/p>\n<p>Rumors recently began to spread that LINK, along with a number of other altcoins that are from the 2017-2018 bull market, is going to be added to Grayscale's umbrella through a number of new Trusts. Trusts are Grayscale's preferred investment vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>As <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/did-chainlink-link-just-get-on-grayscale-investments-offering-list\/\">reported by CryptoSlate previously on the matter,<\/a> documents were recently spotted online of a Grayscale Chainlink Trust. The Trust was purportedly established on December 18th as a Delaware Domestic Statutory Trust.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Grayscale Chainlink Trust (LINK)<\/p>\n<p>Filed on December 18th, 2020 as a Delaware Domestic Statutory Trust<\/p>\n<p>Is it real or just an elaborate larp?
