## Questions

### Does CHNL track Chainlink?

Over the time since launch to Oct 20, 2026 it returned +37.0% against Chainlink’s +35.3%, which leaves it 1.7 percentage points ahead. That difference carries the fee, the cost of rolling futures and the market’s pricing of the shares, and ETFIQ computes it from the fund’s own closes and the coin’s own closes over the same two dates.

### Does CHNL stake?

CHNL holds Chainlink futures rather than Chainlink itself, so there is nothing for it to stake.

### What is CHNL?
