Cryptocurrency asset manager Grayscale has taken a significant step towards launching a new exchange-traded fund (ETF). The company announced its plans to launch the Grayscale HYPE ETF by filing a Form S-1 registration application with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
According to the application, the ETF is structured to track the price performance of HYPE, a digital asset on the Hyperliquid network. The fund’s primary goal is to offer investors exposure to HYPE without directly purchasing it, while also providing additional returns through staking under certain conditions.
The ETF aims to be listed on the Nasdaq exchange under the ticker symbol “GHYP”. While a definitive launch date for the product has not yet been announced, sales are expected to begin “as soon as possible” following SEC approval.
The trust structure established by Grayscale will directly hold HYPE tokens, and the value of ETF shares will be determined by the amount of HYPE the fund holds. Through this structure, investors will be able to gain indirect access to HYPE through traditional financial markets.
