In a move reflecting growing institutional interest in alternative digital assets, Canary Funds has filed a formal application with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to launch the first spot HBAR ETF. According to reports, the firm submitted an SEC 424B3 form to provide a regulated investment vehicle for exposure to the native token of the Hedera network. This filing aims to increase liquidity and drive broader market adoption for the Hedera ecosystem.
This filing comes as the crypto fund market expands following the historic approvals of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs earlier in 2024. In comparison to peers, firms like Bitwise and Canary are also seeking approvals for ETFs linked to assets such as XRP and Solana, signaling a competitive race to diversify crypto investment products per market data. Hedera currently stands out as a major enterprise-grade network, governed by a council that includes giants like Google and IBM.
