21Shares Hyperliquid ETF ($THYP) Debuts With $1.8M in First-Day Volume!

The 21Shares Hyperliquid ETF, trading under the ticker $THYP, closed its first day on the market with $1.8 million in trading volume — a solid debut by the standards of newly launched crypto ETFs, according to Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart.

The launch marks another step in the broadening of the US ETF wrapper to cover assets beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum. Hyperliquid, the decentralized perpetuals exchange that has attracted significant on-chain volume, now has a publicly traded equity vehicle tracking it — lowering the friction for traditional investors seeking exposure to the DeFi derivatives space.

First-day volume alone doesn't define a product's trajectory, but $1.8M out of the gate for a niche crypto ETF signals genuine early interest. Analysts will be watching week-two flows closely to gauge whether the debut demand is structural or simply launch-day curiosity.
