Grayscale’s HYPE ETF: A Bureaucratic Ballet in Three Acts
Grayscale Investments, that solemn titan of crypto asset management, has submitted an S-1 registration statement to the SEC for a spot ETF tracking Hyperliquid’s HYPE token. The filing, dated March 20, 2026, is less a revolution and more a bureaucratic pirouette. Should the SEC nod in approval, the fund will trade as GHYP on Nasdaq, where it will presumably compete with other acronyms for the title of “Most Confusing to Grandmother.” Coinbase Custody, ever the obliging butler, will safeguard the fund’s assets, while CoinDesk’s Benchmark pricing data will calculate its net asset value-because nothing says “trust” like relying on the same entity that once confused a Bitcoin price spike for a joke.
