Who it affects, what changes and what is still unconfirmed

Each sentence links inside to the piece that supports it.

Holders watching Chainlink tomorrow morning will notice two separate signals in the market. The token was trading near $13.50 on Monday, and LINK-focused ETFs had just taken in $9.48 million on Friday, the biggest daily inflow this year. This matters to traders, funds, and other market participants because both price action and ETF demand are visible in the same stretch of trading.
