Bitwise Advances Hyperliquid ETF Launch with Key Amendment Filing
Bitwise Asset Management has taken a significant step toward launching its Hyperliquid ETF by submitting an amended registration statement to the SEC. The December 15 filing introduces Section 8(a) language, establishes the BHYP ticker symbol, and sets a 0.67% management fee—all typically final-stage indicators before fund approval.
Market analysts interpret the procedural move as signaling potential approval before year-end or in early January. Bloomberg's Eric Balchunas noted the inclusion of launch-critical elements often precedes regulatory green lights. The SEC's decision timeline remains the final hurdle for this staking-focused product, which faces heightened scrutiny under current crypto regulations.
