BNB News: Grayscale Files for Spot BNB ETF With SEC, Expanding Beyond Bitcoin and Ether
Grayscale has filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to launch a spot BNB exchange-traded fund, marking one of its most significant expansions beyond Bitcoin and Ether as asset managers race to broaden regulated crypto exposure in the United States.
According to a registration statement submitted Friday, the proposed Grayscale BNB ETF would hold BNB directly and issue shares designed to track the#BTC
oken’s market price, minus fees and expenses. The fund is intended to trade on Nasdaq under the ticker GBNB, pending regulatory approval.
If approved, the product would allow US investors to gain regulated exposure to BNB without directly holding or custodying the token, removing the need to use crypto wallets or exchanges.
BNB ETF filing highlights shift beyond BTC and ETH
The filing is notable given BNB’s size and role within the crypto market. BNB is currently the fourth-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, valued at approximately $120.5 billion at the time of filing.
BNB serves as the native token of the Binance ecosystem, with utility across the BNB Smart Chain and Binance platform. The token is used for transaction fees, onchain governance participation, and trading fee discounts, among other functions.

A US-listed spot ETF tied to BNB would mark one of the first attempts to bring exposure to a major exchange-linked token into traditional financial markets.
Competition emerges as VanEck also pursues BNB ETF
Grayscale is not alone in pursuing regulated BNB exposure.
Asset manager VanEck has also filed a registration statement for its own proposed BNB ETF, including an amended Form S-1 seeking a Nasdaq listing under the ticker VBNB. VanEck’s filing places it slightly further along in the regulatory review process.

The parallel filings signal growing confidence among institutional managers that US regulators may eventually expand ETF approvals beyond Bitcoin and Ether.

Romānam Stormam, Tornado Cash līdzdibinātājam, ASV draud apsūdzības par naudas atmazgāšanu. Tomēr viņš tikko ir saņēmis spēcīgu atbalstu no investīciju fonda Paradigm un pilsonisko brīvību organizācijas EFF, jo viņa juridiskajai cīņai var būt liela ietekme uz kriptogrāfijas drošības tehnoloģiju nākotni.
Paradigm iegulda USD 1,25 miljonus juridiskajās maksās
Riska kapitāla fonds #paradigm ir paziņojis par 1,25 miljonu dolāru finansējuma piešķiršanu, lai atbalstītu Storm tās juridiskajā cīņā. Paradigm līdzdibinātājs Mets Huangs apsūdzības Storm nodēvēja par "uzbrukumu programmatūras izstrādātājiem", kas varētu radīt bīstamu precedentu, kad programmētāji tiek saukti pie atbildības par to, kā citi izmanto viņu radītās tehnoloģijas.
