Spot exchange-traded funds tracking Chainlink ($LINK) and Polkadot ($DOT) ended the latest trading week with net outflows, as a broader market sell-off weighed on demand for altcoin products. Spot $LINK ETFs recorded outflows of $705.59K, while spot $DOT ETFs lost $99.35K.
The amounts are small in absolute terms. They add to signs of waning investor interest in major altcoins. Among altcoin ETFs, only the product tracking Avalanche (@Avax, $AVAX) finished the week in positive territory. Chainlink and Polkadot are also followed by @Chainlink and @Polkadot respectively.
Two spot Chainlink ETFs trade in the US: the Grayscale Chainlink Trust ETF (GLNK) and the Bitwise Chainlink ETF (CLNK), according to CryptoTicker. Data from SoSoValue, published by TokenPost, shows the $705,591 outflow on November 13 came entirely from Grayscale's GLNK, following four consecutive trading days of zero net flows.
The pattern marks a shift. Earlier in 2026, US spot Chainlink ETFs had recorded net inflows every week since December 2025, according to a report citing CryptoQuant data. Net assets across the Chainlink funds stood at about $189.55 million, or 2.29% of LINK's market capitalisation as of November 6, per SoSoValue figures.
Polkadot's ETF market has been largely inactive. TokenPost data showed the DOT market recorded no net flows for 19 consecutive trading days up to November 11, with the 21Shares Polkadot ETF (TDOT) holding net assets of $8.61 million. The week's $99.35K outflow therefore ends a long flat stretch.
Weekly recap data from cryptoetf.today puts the market backdrop in context. Across all tracked crypto ETFs, net flows for November 9 to 13 totalled around negative $1.40 billion. The same recap shows AVAX as the only asset with positive net flow, at $0.23M.
The Chainlink price has also been under pressure. CryptoTicker reported that LINK lost 8.6 percent in the week to November 8. Altcoin ETF flows remain far smaller than those of Bitcoin products, but they offer a read on institutional appetite for individual tokens.
