Grayscale is preparing to launch a BNB ETF. Planning to list on the US stock market as “GBNB”
American asset management firm Grayscale has taken the first step toward launching an exchange-traded fund tracking BNB. With the submission of relevant registration documents to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the possibility of BNB ETF listing has increased.
On the 23rd, Grayscale submitted an S-1 registration statement to the U.S. SEC seeking approval for the BNB ETF launch. The ETF will directly hold the native cryptocurrency BNB of the BNB Chain to fully reflect its market price. If approved, its trading symbol will be “GBNB,” and it is planned to be listed on Nasdaq.
The custodian will be Coinbase Custody, the custody division of the largest U.S. exchange Coinbase, and the transfer agent will be The Bank of New York Mellon. This is considered an important factor in gaining the trust of institutional investors.
Currently, BNB has a market capitalization of approximately $174 billion, making it the fourth-largest cryptocurrency after Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Tether. Grayscale’s move is the second case following VanEck’s BNB ETF application submitted in May last year.
Recently, in the US ETF market, ETFs based on various cryptocurrencies such as Solana, Ripple, Dogecoin, Chainlink, and Hedera have been emerging. As the SEC’s attitude softens, channels for institutional capital inflows into cryptocurrencies are rapidly increasing.
After the approval of Bitcoin ETF earlier this month, Grayscale has continuously expanded its ETF product lines for Ethereum, Dogecoin, Ripple, Chainlink, and others. At the same time, work is underway to convert NEAR protocol trust products into ETFs.
If the BNB ETF is approved, Grayscale will have a balanced portfolio of ETFs tracking major L1 chains, likely meeting the diversification needs of institutional investors. The expansion of the cryptocurrency ETF market is expected to have a positive impact on BNB prices.
