Grayscale Seeks BNB and Hyperliquid ETFs Approval, Prices Show Contradictory Reactions

• The asset manager has filed for BNB ETF under Grayscale BNB Trust file number 10465871.
• It has also filed for Hyperliquid ETF under Grayscale HYPE Trust file number 10465863.
• BNB price surged while HYPE price dropped over the last 24 hours.

Grayscale is seeking approval for its BNB and Hyperliquid ETF application after filing for registration with the Delaware Division of Corporations. If granted, then it could pave the way for the SEC filing. Meanwhile, the respective prices of BNB and HYPE have reacted differently to this development.

Grayscale Files for BNB and Hyperliquid ETFs

The competition is officially gearing up for BNB ETF and Hyperliquid ETF with the entry of Grayscale. It recently submitted an application in Delaware under file numbers 10465871 for Grayscale BNB Trust and 10465863 for Grayscale HYPE Trust. An approval in Delaware could see Grayscale file an S-1 registration statement with the US Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC).

VanEck and Bitwise have already filed for BNB ETF and HYPE ETF in April 2025 and December 2025, respectively. Binance and Hyperliquid are now waiting for their first ETFs to proceed to the next stage. One community member, kirbycrypto, has said that this could be the youngest asset ETF by Grayscale.

Impact on BNB Price and HYPE Price

Both tokens have reacted differently to this development. BNB, for one, has surged by 0.41% over the last 24 hours to $889.61 at the time of writing this article. HYPE, on the other hand, has plunged by 3.54% to $25.33 during the same timeline and at the same moment.

However, the trend for BNB and HYPE on a weekly basis is almost the same. BNB has surged by 2.32% and HYPE has jumped by 2.89% in a week. Other factors that are possibly affecting their prices are expected employment data and the court’s verdict on the legality of tariffs.

What’s Next?

Grayscale is now waiting for approval before it proceeds to the SEC with the S-1 form. BNB is forecasted to surge by at least 1.37% or a maximum of 37.63% in the next 3 months. The price could go as high as $1,232.45 and as low as $907.74, amid the medium volatility of 2.46%.

HYPE price is projected to undergo a correction for the next 3 months. It could note a maximum drop of 25.02% to the value of $18.94. The minimum drop is anticipated to be of 23.29% to around $19.37, amid the high volatility of 6.24%.
