- Bitwise has updated its Hyperliquid ETF filing to include the ticker BHYP and a 0.67% management fee.
- The amended filing adds to signs that the firm may be preparing to launch soon as competition for the first Hyperliquid ETF intensifies.
Bitwise appears to be moving a little closer to launching a Hyperliquid ETF, and the latest filing changes are the sort of details the market tends to notice.
The asset manager has submitted a second amended filing for its proposed product, adding the ticker BHYP and setting the management fee at 0.67%, or 67 basis points. On its own, neither detail is dramatic. Together, though, they usually suggest a filing is entering a more final stage.
Ticker and fee details point to a product nearing market
Bloomberg senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas said on X that the addition of a ticker and fee often means a launch could be coming soon. That is not a guarantee, of course. ETF filings can still face delays, revisions or shifting timelines. But in practice, these are usually not the first things issuers bother to finalize unless the product is getting closer to being market-ready.
The timing also makes sense. Hyperliquid has been one of the more closely watched names in crypto over the past year, and Balchunas noted that HYPE is up roughly 200% over that stretch. For an issuer, that creates a fairly obvious incentive to move while investor interest is still elevated.
The race for a Hyperliquid fund is starting to crowd
Bitwise is not alone here. Other asset managers, including Grayscale and 21Shares, are also pushing to launch products tied to Hyperliquid, the crypto perpetual futures protocol and blockchain that has drawn increasing attention from both traders and ETF issuers.
That competition matters because being first still carries weight in crypto ETFs. Early products tend to capture more attention, more flows and, often enough, more long-term relevance.
For Bitwise, the amended filing suggests the firm wants to be in that first wave rather than arriving after the category is already defined. The next question is whether the SEC process moves quickly enough for that advantage to still be available when BHYP is ready.
