According to 21Shares’ SEC filing, the asset manager seeks to expand institutional exposure to DeFi through its proposed HYPE ETF despite market pressure on the token.
21Shares has filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for its HYPE ETF, aiming to offer institutional investors exposure to the decentralized finance (DeFi) sector. The new product seeks to broaden participation in DeFi assets at a time when the HYPE token is testing major support levels. This filing follows previous reports by Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas regarding 21Shares’ planned 2x leveraged HYPE ETF, designed to deliver double the daily return of its underlying benchmark.
