UBS, Jane Street Join Firms Holding $75 Million in Hyperliquid ETF
Hyperliquid is a decentralized trading platform best known for perpetual futures, with HYPE serving as its native token. A 21Shares exchange-traded fund linked to HYPE offers investors exposure through conventional brokerage accounts. The appearance of major financial firms among disclosed holders is notable because it provides a clearer gauge of institutional demand for a crypto asset outside Bitcoin and Ether.
UBS Group, Jane Street and other institutions held a combined roughly $75 million in the Hyperliquid-related ETF, Bloomberg reported. Brazilian asset manager Wealth High Governance held about $24 million as of the end of June, making it the largest holder of the 21Shares fund. The disclosures place established banks, trading firms and investment managers among investors gaining listed-product exposure to HYPE.

The history behind this eventHyperliquid's HYPE Hits Record Above $60 as Institutional ETF Demand and Grayscale Buying Fuel Rally
Hyperliquid is a platform centered on decentralized perpetual-contract trading, with HYPE serving both governance and ecosystem functions. Expectations for a U.S. spot ETF and institutional adoption have risen in 2026. Bitwise also plans to allocate 10% of its ETF product's management fees to purchases of HYPE, creating expectations of sustained demand. Grayscale-linked wallets have increased their holdings at the same time, making capital flows an important indicator to watch in the token's rally.
As of July 19, 2026, HYPE had broken above $60, $66 and $67 in succession, repeatedly setting record highs. It had gained more than 70% since the start of the year, while its market capitalization surpassed Dogecoin's. In addition to ETF inflows and Grayscale's accumulation, HypeStrat's HYPE position generated $1 billion in unrealized profit, placing it among the leading digital-asset treasury companies. By contrast, Bitmine had an unrealized loss of about $8 billion, highlighting the performance gap between different token allocations.
