Grayscale has filed an S-1 registration statement for a HYPE ETF, a proposed product that would hold Hyperliquid’s native token and list on Nasdaq under the symbol GHYP. The filing shows the trust is designed to track the value of HYPE held by the vehicle, less expenses, and notes that the product may eventually include staking rewards if certain conditions are met, though staking is not currently active for the trust.

Bitcoin eyes eight straight green days as ETF inflows fuel the rally
Bitcoin just posted its best price since early February, touching $74.5K as a sustained wave of institutional buying through spot ETFs continues to power the rally. The asset is now eyeing eight consecutive green daily candles — a streak that hasn’t happened in months. Here’s the thing: while the price action screams confidence, the broader sentiment landscape is whispering something else entirely. The Fear and Greed Index sits at 23, deep in “Extreme Fear” territory. That’s up from a brutal 8 last week, but still the kind of reading you’d…
BlackRock says over 90% of Bitcoin ETF investors are long-term accumulators
BlackRock’s digital assets chief Robert Mitchnick said that more than 90% of Bitcoin ETF investors, including retail, financial advisors, and institutions, have followed a steady accumulation strategy. Speaking to CNBC today, Mitchnick said retail investors “are some of the most long-term focused” and have tended to “buy the dip” when markets decline, while hedge funds account for a smaller share of more tactical trading activity. “The only part of the demand base where we do see some tendency towards short-termism is the roughly 10 or so percent that is actually…

Grayscale debuts Avalanche staking ETF on Nasdaq
Grayscale Investments announced Thursday that its Grayscale Avalanche Staking ETF (GAVA) has begun trading on Nasdaq, offering investors a new exchange-traded product tied to the Avalanche ecosystem.

Goldman Sachs becomes biggest XRP ETF holder as funds record only nine red days
XRP exchange-traded funds have attracted more than $1.4 billion in cumulative net inflows despite a broader downturn across crypto markets since late 2025. Bitcoin has fallen sharply from its October 2025 peak of around $126K to roughly $70K at press time, wiping out about 45% of its value, while many other digital assets have declined even further. Even as digital assets decline, XRP ETFs have continued gaining traction among investors. According to a post on X from Bloomberg Intelligence analyst James Seyffart, spot XRP ETFs have accumulated more than $1.4…

Are ETF flows beginning to rotate? According to the Kobeissi Letter,…
