The post Bloomberg ETF Analyst James Seyffart Says Grayscale Advances BNB ETF Filing appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart says major asset managers are continuing to push deeper into the altcoin ETF race as Grayscale Investments and VanEck advance new filings tied to a potential spot BNB ETF. The latest SEC-related updates are now fueling speculation that institutional demand for alternative crypto ETFs is rapidly expanding beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Grayscale Updates Spot BNB ETF Filing
According to James Seyffart, Grayscale recently submitted a second amended S-1 filing for its proposed spot BNB ETF. The updated filing suggests the company may already be actively responding to feedback from the U.S. SEC as the review process continues.
Seyffart noted that multiple amendment rounds are common during crypto ETF reviews, meaning the approval timeline could still take months.
“The SEC has been deliberate in its approach to crypto ETFs, and BNB faces unique regulatory hurdles.”
If eventually approved, the ETF would allow traditional investors to gain regulated exposure to BNB through standard brokerage platforms without directly holding the cryptocurrency themselves.
VanEck Also Moves Into BNB ETF Race
On the same day, investment giant VanEck filed its fifth amendment launching its own BNB-focused investment product. VanEck filed paperwork in Delaware to establish a trust entity tied to a proposed BNB ETF.
The filing marks one of the earliest attempts to launch a BNB ETF in the United States and expands VanEck’s growing crypto ETF lineup beyond Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana products.
What Does This BNB ETF Filings Mean?
While Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs already dominate institutional crypto flows, firms are now increasingly exploring products tied to Solana, XRP, and BNB.
Despite the bullish regulatory developments, BNB price showed limited reaction following the filings.
As of now, BNB trades near $664 after falling roughly 2.5% over the last 24 hours, suggesting traders remain cautious until clearer SEC decisions emerge around the future of alternative crypto ETFs.
