Crypto asset manager Bitwise Investment Advisers has filed an S-1 application with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for a Spot Hyperliquid ETF. Hyperliquid stands out as a Layer 1 blockchain developed for decentralized finance (DeFi) applications, with a particular focus on perpetual futures trading. This filing draws attention as the first ETF proposal exposing investors to the HYPE token.
About Hyperliquid and the HYPE Token
Hyperliquid functions as a Layer 1 blockchain specifically designed for the DeFi ecosystem, with perpetual futures trading as its primary focus.
- HYPE token price: $42.16, down 51% in the last 24 hours
- Circulating supply:8 million
- Market capitalization: $11 billion, making HYPE the 21st largest cryptocurrency
Howard Lindzon, co-founder of VC and StockTwits, commented on X regarding the filing:
“As it should be, corruption for everyone… priced in real-time. The Web 2.0 era was very unique, and it was the best time ever to be a seed and early-stage venture investor.”
SEC Delays Decisions on Altcoin ETFs
In addition to Bitwise’s filing, the SEC has postponed decisions on several altcoin ETF proposals, including:
- Canary’s spot SUI and PENGU funds
- Staked INJ and SEI funds
- Grayscale and VanEck’s spot Avalanche proposals
Dozens of other pending crypto ETF applications are still under SEC review.
Earlier today, Hashdex expanded its ETF to include XRP and Solana, anticipating that the SEC may soon approve broader listing standards. This development creates new opportunities for investors while increasing activity in the crypto ETF market.
Notable Trends in the Crypto ETF Market
Bitwise’s Spot Hyperliquid ETF S-1 filing and the SEC’s postponement of altcoin ETF decisions highlight the growing need for strategic investment opportunities and risk management in the crypto market.
The potential for the HYPE token to meet institutional investors via an ETF for the first time is seen as an important market signal. Additionally, Hashdex’s expansion to include XRP and Solana supports the growth trend of the crypto ETF ecosystem.
