Grayscale Investments registered a statutory trust for a proposed BNB exchange-traded fund in Delaware on January 8, 2026, according to state records. The filing establishes the legal vehicle typically used before submitting formal ETF applications to federal regulators.

The move comes as BNB is up about 4% since the start of the year, trading around $890 at press time, and underperforming major tokens such as Ethereum, Solana, and XRP, which have each rallied more than 12% over the same period.

Grayscale is stirring up trouble again. Is BNB about to turn things around? Or are they just teasing us again?

According to on-chain data, although BNB's market cap share hovers around 7-8%, Grayscale's move indeed sends a signal — traditional financial institutions are gradually filling in the gaps in this sector. It is worth noting that the lag in BNB's ETF progress compared to ETH precisely reflects differences in market acceptance.
