🚨 Big update in crypto markets: Grayscale files for a BNB ETF
Grayscale has officially filed paperwork with the SEC for a spot BNB exchange-traded fund. This is a major step and one of their most notable moves outside of Bitcoin and Ethereum.
What this could mean
If approved, the ETF would hold actual BNB and trade on Nasdaq under the ticker GBNB. It would allow U.S. investors to gain exposure to BNB through traditional markets, without needing to manage crypto wallets or use exchanges.
Why BNB is important
BNB is currently the fourth-largest cryptocurrency, with a market cap around $120.5 billion. It plays a central role in the Binance ecosystem, powering transaction fees, governance, and trading discounts across the BNB Smart Chain.
Rising competition
VanEck has also submitted an application for a BNB ETF under the ticker VBNB and is reportedly a bit further along in the regulatory process. Both firms are clearly positioning themselves early in anticipation of potential approval.
The broader impact
With Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs already holding over $100 billion in assets, a BNB ETF would mark another expansion of regulated crypto access, moving beyond base-layer assets into major exchange-related tokens.
Approval is far from certain, but this filing shows that large asset managers are preparing for a wider range of digital assets in traditional financial markets. 📈
