Major asset management firm Grayscale has just filed applications to launch spot ETFs for both BNB and HYPE tokens. This marks a significant step in bringing these digital assets into traditional regulated investment vehicles, potentially opening doors for institutional and retail investors seeking regulated exposure without managing private keys. The move reflects growing institutional appetite for diversified crypto holdings beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum. BNB's established position within its ecosystem and HYPE's emerging narrative both signal the firm's strategic positioning in the evolving digital asset landscape. Such ETF approvals could reshape market liquidity and price discovery mechanisms for these tokens.

BNB0,35%

HYPE-0,24%

BTC-0,39%

ETH-0,66%

Grayscale is up to its tricks again... BNB and HYPE ETFs? To be honest, this move isn't as impressive as I imagined; institutional entry always sounds good. --- Once the ETF is approved, retail investors still have a mentality of being just leeks. What should we do? --- Oh my goodness, it's that same "standardized investment" rhetoric again. I always feel something's off... --- The rise and fall of mainland China, from NFT digital collectibles to ETFs, the cycle is really so short. --- Not to hype or bash, but this emerging narrative of HYPE sounds very虚 (vague/empty). I bet five bucks it's just another storytelling project. --- Wait... are institutions really about to enter? I need to recalculate my cost basis. --- Following the trend is the most harmful phrase. Every time it's said, the market gets hammered down. --- On-chain data looks good, but I just have a feeling this wave will cut another round of leeks.

Grayscale is playing its cards well, with BNB and Hype ETFs coming simultaneously. Institutions are really starting to pile in. Now, we finally don't have to keep our private keys ourselves, which is a huge boon for beginners. The fact that Grayscale is interested in this new coin Hype shows there’s definitely something worth paying attention to. With the BNB ecosystem so mature, ETFs will still be more effective in attracting traditional capital. Old Wang, I just want to know how high BNB can go once this ETF gets approved... Has anyone tested it? Institutional entry works like this: first regulate with ETFs, and liquidity immediately increases. Hype feels like another concept coin, but since Grayscale dares to touch it, others will follow suit. I'm just waiting to see how these two coins react in price; I feel there will be a good wave of market movement. Honestly, after Bitcoin and Ethereum, institutional interest in these new assets is indeed growing more and more.

Grayscale's move this time is really ruthless, directly opening a backdoor for institutional investors... But I really didn't expect the hype around the ETF.

Here comes the pump again, I've seen this Grayscale routine many times --- BNB and HYPE ETFs? Just wait and see, whether they approve or not is still up in the air --- Institutions really know how to pick the right timing, are they trying to scoop up the last of it this time? --- Trying new tricks again, but in the end retail investors will be the ones holding the bag --- Grayscale is here playing chess, institutions are really planning their moves --- Wait, I haven't heard of HYPE coin before, something feels a bit fishy --- If it really gets approved, this will be a positive signal, but how much it can rise is another story

Grayscale is causing trouble again, this time targeting BNB and HYPE? I just want to know why HYPE can stand on equal footing with BNB...

Grayscale is causing trouble again, this time targeting BNB and HYPE. The institutional army is really about to enter the market. Institutional entry into BNB is understandable, but HYPE? Feels like they're betting on a story. But honestly, buying without a private key right now is also attractive... too lazy to manage the wallet myself. A batch of ETFs coming out, will these two tokens take off? Or is it just another routine of cutting leeks? Grayscale's hand is indeed well played, diversifying beyond BTC and ETH... some substance there. HYPE just emerging and able to get into ETFs? What's the background of this project? Anyway, Grayscale's ETFs have also had their crashes, let's wait and see. BNB's liquidity is already deep enough, but the key is whether HYPE can sustain. Another set of FOMO creation... but I admit this will definitely attract many conservative investors.

Grayscale is causing trouble again, with BNB and HYPE ETFs? Now institutions have another reason to buy the dip. --- BNB should have entered the traditional market long ago, and it’s already good if HYPE, this newcomer, can join in the feast. --- It’s Grayscale again... They’re so consistent every time, it’s really annoying. Can’t they be the first to get out of the way? --- Liquidity is about to take off. Let’s wait and see the retail investors get chopped up. --- Honestly, why can HYPE, this thing, stand on equal footing with BNB? Is it overhyped marketing?

Grayscale is doing well this time, the BNB and HYPE ETFs are coming, and the institutional accumulation momentum seems to be picking up. --- It's Grayscale again. Whether these two coins can be listed still depends on the SEC's stance. --- This is the first time I've heard of HYPE. Why does Grayscale like it... It's a bit curious. --- Not gonna lie, if BNB's ETF gets approved, the liquidity when institutions enter will be terrifying. --- The private key issue this time is indeed a point of criticism. People who are lazy might really buy the ETF. --- Wait, is HYPE a new coin? It seems like that's what Grayscale is really betting on. --- Institutional entry means retail investors will be the ones getting cut, same old story. --- Beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum... Are you sure it doesn't mean Beyond Mainstream Coins? Haha
