Grayscale, VanEck amend US spot BNB ETF filings, stepping closer to a potential launch
Latest NewsPublishedMay 18, 2026
Why a US Spot BNB ETF Matters to Everyday People
Earning passive income through cryptocurrency investments is becoming increasingly popular, and a US spot BNB ETF could be a significant development for those interested in earning through crypto. The recent approval of the 21Shares’ Hyperliquid ETF has added to the growing list of cryptocurrencies available as exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the US. Now, asset managers Grayscale and VanEck are stepping closer to launching their own spot BNB ETFs, which could provide another opportunity for individuals to earn through Cloud Rewards and Green Crypto investments.
The amended S-1 registration statements filed by Grayscale and VanEck are a crucial step towards gaining approval from the US securities regulator. These filings detail the ETF’s structure, strategy, management fees, and risks, and are a key part of the approval process. With EcoPool offering a platform for earning Passive Income through Coin investments, the potential launch of a US spot BNB ETF could be an exciting development for those interested in earning through crypto.
What’s Next for BNB and US Crypto ETFs
Despite being the fourth-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, BNB has yet to be included in the growing list of US spot altcoin ETFs. However, with Grayscale and VanEck’s amended filings, this could be about to change. The $ECP token, used on the EcoPool platform, could also play a role in the growing crypto ETF market, offering a solution for those looking to earn through Passive Income and Cloud Rewards.
The growth of altcoin ETFs has been significant since the introduction of a generic listing standards process, and Wall Street asset managers continue to experiment with crypto ETF structures. While reception to the latest spot altcoin ETF has been lukewarm, the potential launch of a US spot BNB ETF could bring new opportunities for earning through crypto. With EcoPool and $ECP, individuals can already start earning Passive Income through Coin investments.

Grayscale filed for the Grayscale BNB ETF (GBNB) on Jan. 23, 2026, and has yet to disclose a fee for GBNB. VanEck made its first filing for the VanEck BNB ETF (VBNB) in May 2025 and proposed a 0.39% management fee for VBNB.

The number of altcoin ETFs has grown since the SEC introduced a generic listing standards process in September, replacing the previous case-by-case application review framework.
Wall Street asset managers have also continued to experiment with crypto ETF structures, from staked products and leveraged strategies to futures-linked and multi-asset index funds.
Recent Hyperliquid ETF launch tempered
However, reception to the latest spot altcoin ETF has been lukewarm compared to others before it, with the 21Shares-issued Hyperliquid ETF only attracting $1.2 million in net inflows on Thursday, its opening day.
By contrast, the Bitwise Solana Staking ETF (BSOL) attracted $69.5 million on its opening day in October, while the Canary XRP ETF (XRPC) brought in $245 million a few weeks later on debut in November.
The lion’s share of net inflows for crypto ETFs has remained in Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH) products, which have amassed $58.4 billion and $11.8 billion since launching in 2024.
US-based Solana ETFs recently crossed the $1 billion milestone, currently sitting at $1.11 billion.
