Grayscale Files Third S-1 Amendment with SEC for HYPE ETF

Highlights: 

• Grayscale has updated its S-1 filing for its proposed HYPE ETF. 
• This will be the third time Grayscale has amended its filing within the past few months.
• James Seyfart said the frequent updates suggest that the ETF could soon be approved. 

Crypto asset management firm Grayscale has submitted another amended S-1 filing with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for its proposed Hyperliquid (HYPE) exchange-traded fund (ETF). The latest application will be the company’s third updated filing for the HYPE ETF. If approved for listing by the US regulators, the fund will trade under the market ticker GHYP.

Grayscale’s Hyperliquid trust was initially formed in Delaware, specifically on January 8, 2026. Between April and May 22, the application has already undergone three amendments.

Bloomberg and ETF analyst James Seyfart confirmed the move in an X post on Friday, adding that the frequent updates suggest that the ETF could soon launch. If such happens, GHYP will become the third approved HYPE ETF to trade on the US exchanges. Moreover, other Hyperliquid funds that are already listed on American exchanges include 21Shares HYPE ETF (THYP) and Bitwise HYPE ETF (BHYP).

Overview of Grayscale’s HYPE ETF

Like several other ETFs, Grayscale’s Hyperliquid ETF is designed to hold HYPE in custody, offering traditional investors regulated exposure to the token, which eliminates the need for wallets or blockchain interactions.

Other unique features of the proposed ETF include custodial protection of private keys by institutional providers. Traders will also benefit from traditional brokerage access via a ticker-based trading system. There are also provisions for a potential rebranding into a staking-focused structure once the SEC approves the ETF.

Grayscale Investments Sponsors, LLC will be the Trust’s Sponsor, while CSC Delaware Trust Company will serve as the Trust’s trustee. The Bank of New York Mellon will serve as the Trust’s transfer agent and also the administrator. In addition, Coinbase Inc. will be the Trust’s prime broker, while the Coinbase Custody Trust Company LLC will serve as the custodian.
