How we measure
A holder gets exposure to Chainlink without the fund holding the coin itself. Over the time since launch to Oct 20, 2026, Chainlink moved +35.3% and CHNL returned +37.0%. That leaves it 1.7 percentage points ahead. That difference is the fee, the cost of rolling the futures from one month to the next, what the futures traded at against Chainlink, and what the market paid for the shares, all of it together. It is the only figure on this page the sponsor does not publish itself. Chainlink is a proof of stake chain, so a fund holding it can stake. ETFIQ has not read a clear answer either way out of CHNL’s filings. What the prices show is that it finished 1.7% ahead of Chainlink’s own price over the same days, against +0.1% for the other 1 funds holding Chainlink. After a fee, an in-kind ETP ahead of the asset it holds got there by staking.

Tracking difference
The fund’s total return minus the coin’s over exactly the same days, in percentage points. The fee, the custody cost, the creation and redemption friction and whatever the market paid for the shares, all of it, in one number.
Spot
The fund holds the coin itself, through a custodian, rather than futures on it or shares in companies that own it. Only spot funds are in this category; the others are measured where they belong.
Sponsor
Who runs the fund. Most spot crypto ETFs are 1933 Act trusts rather than registered investment companies, so they have a sponsor rather than an adviser, and file a 10-K rather than an N-PORT.
Thinly quoted
A fund whose price sat unchanged on more than one trading day in twenty. Its quoted return is what somebody paid on the days anyone traded, which is not the same thing as what the fund did, so ETFIQ shows it and does not rank it against funds that trade.
Staking
Only proof of stake coins can be staked, so it exists for ether and Solana funds and cannot exist for a bitcoin one. Where a fund stakes, the yield and the sponsor’s share of it are terms in its own filings.
