21Shares Files for Hype ETF Amid Robust Crypto Allure

21Shares seeks SEC approval for an ETF tracking HYPE token, which rose 34.6% in seven days, aiming to offer traditional investors crypto exposure.

  • On Wednesday, 21Shares filed an S‑1 with the SEC to launch a passive ETF tracking HYPE, which increased 34.6% in the last seven days, following its acquisition agreement with FalconX.
  • HYPE's rapid gains reflect more than a year of price appreciation tied to buybacks, with the Assistance Fund allocating 99% of fees to open-market purchases and holding around 34.1 million tokens worth $1.6 billion.
  • 21Shares, which manages over $11 billion, is the sponsor behind the filing naming Coinbase and BitGo as custodians for a passive ETF tracking HYPE token, the eleventh largest cryptocurrency.
  • Pending agency approval, the ETF's launch timeline is uncertain due to regulatory backlog as SEC approval remains pending during a U.S. government shutdown, despite Hyperliquid's $278.9 billion October volume and nearly $105.2 million fees.
  • Andrew Van Aken of Artemis said the filing forces Wall Street to consider Hyperliquid's fundamentals, noting growth in tokenized stocks, prediction markets, and stablecoin revenue while FalconX aims to expand digital asset adoption.
