Grayscale Research Director Zach Pandl stated that Strategy disclosed the sale of 32 BTC on June 1. Although the amount is small, it has triggered a new round of volatility in the Bitcoin market.He pointed out that the variable rate preferred stock STRC is trading below the $100 target level, which may prompt the company to increase dividends and add pressure on future cash flows, potentially leading to more selling pressure on BTC. At the current price levels of STRC and MSTR, Strategy's ability to further increase its BTC holdings is limited.

According to The Block, blockchain analytics company Chainalysis has released a latest report indicating that as the gray market peptide industry scales surpasses an annualized $100 million, leading suppliers are accelerating the adoption of Bitcoin and stablecoins as primary settlement tools.In Q1 2026, cryptocurrency inflows into the industry reached $32 million, a month-on-month surge of 159%. Due to traditional banks and credit card payment channels generally imposing bans on prescription-grade compounds and unregulated substances, a large number of Chinese chemical manufacturers are turning to cryptocurrency to complete transactions, with high-value orders particularly favoring stablecoins to avoid price volatility risks.

Grayscale's research director Zach Pandl stated that after Strategy disclosed the sale of 32 BTC on June 1, it triggered a new round of volatility in the BTC market. He pointed out that the scale of the sale itself is not important, as Strategy still holds approximately 840,000 BTC on its balance sheet, valued at about $5.5 billion. However, as one of the largest digital asset treasury managers in the world, its strategic shift puts pressure on market sentiment.Pandl believes that more importantly, the recent volatility affects the price of Strategy's variable rate preferred stock tool STRC. STRC is designed to maintain a price of about $100 per share, with a current dividend yield of 11.5%. If the stock price falls below $100, it means investors are demanding a higher return. Strategy can increase dividends, but this will increase future cash flow obligations and may lead to more BTC sales, further suppressing BTC prices. Strategy's leveraged business model is under pressure, increasing volatility across the entire BTC market.At the current levels of STRC and MSTR stock prices, Grayscale believes that Strategy's ability to continue accumulating more BTC is limited. However, Grayscale believes that in the long term, reducing the BTC on the leveraged digital asset treasury balance sheet and allowing more BTC to be distributed across diversified corporate balance sheets will benefit the health of the Bitcoin ecosystem. But before a sustainable bottom for BTC prices is formed, other buyers need to enter the market. Grayscale expects BTC prices to recover in the coming months, but in the short term, BTC's performance may lag behind other segments of the crypto market that directly benefit from regulatory clarity.

Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart posted on platform X that Grayscale has submitted its third version of the BNB ETF S-1 amendment to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), with the code GBNB, and the fees have not yet been announced.

Grayscale submitted its S-1 amendment for the Hyperliquid Staking ETF, proposing to set the fund management fee at 0.29%, with the code HYPG. This rate is lower than similar products already launched by Bitwise and 21Shares. Among them, Bitwise's BHYP has a first-month fee rate of 0%, followed by 0.34%; 21Shares' THYP fee is 0.3%.

According to CoinDesk, digital asset management company Grayscale pointed out in its latest report that the decentralized trading platform Hyperliquid is rapidly evolving from a cryptocurrency perpetual contract exchange into a blockchain financial infrastructure platform, and may even challenge traditional derivatives trading and exchange systems in the future, growing into a "financial services giant."The report shows that Hyperliquid is expected to achieve approximately $800 million in revenue by 2025, with an annual perpetual contract trading volume of about $2.9 trillion and an open interest size of around $7 billion, occupying a significant share of the cryptocurrency derivatives market. Grayscale believes that the platform is no longer limited to cryptocurrency trading but is expanding into tokenized stocks, commodities, and prediction markets through the HIP-3 and HIP-4 systems, gradually building an all-weather on-chain trading infrastructure.FalconX also pointed out in another report that Hyperliquid is competing with traditional derivatives exchanges such as CME Group and prediction market platforms like Kalshi and Polymarket, making progress in new markets such as Pre-IPO. The report also emphasizes that regulation remains a key variable. Although Hyperliquid currently restricts access for U.S. users, as the regulatory framework becomes clearer and institutions like Coinbase, Robinhood, and Kraken explore perpetual contract products, this sector may welcome broader growth opportunities in the future.

Bloomberg senior ETF analyst James Seyffart disclosed that Grayscale Investments has submitted the fifth amendment document (Amendment No. 5) for the Hyperliquid Staking ETF to the U.S. SEC, with the fund code still being HYPG.

James Seyffart stated that this amendment appears to be a minor adjustment, format optimization, and technical modification in response to potential SEC comments, with no substantial changes found compared to the version submitted the previous day. The core content disclosed in the previous document, including the HYPE staking mechanism and seed asset arrangements, remains unchanged.

According to FinanceFeeds, Grayscale is in talks with Hyper Holdings Global LP to sell its proposed Hyperliquid ETF shares in exchange for approximately 2 million HYPE tokens, valued at about $115 million at current prices, to serve as seed capital before the fund's listing.Meanwhile, Grayscale has renamed the product to "Grayscale Hyperliquid Staking ETF," intending to list it on NASDAQ under the ticker HYPG, with the added staking feature distinguishing it from a spot ETF that simply tracks token prices.

According to CoinDesk, digital asset management company Grayscale has suspended its preparations for a public listing in the United States due to the current unfavorable market environment, with the earliest expected restart of the related process being in the fourth quarter of this year. Grayscale is a subsidiary of DCG and is the issuer of several crypto investment products, including the Bitcoin spot ETF GBTC.2026 was originally seen as a peak year for crypto company IPOs, but as trading volumes weaken and the performance of new listings like BitGo falls short of expectations, companies such as Kraken's parent company Payward, ConsenSys, and Ledger have also chosen to delay their listing plans. Meanwhile, Blockchain.com is still advancing its IPO application in the United States.

According to Crypto.news, Grayscale has submitted its Form 8-A12B for the spot Hyperliquid ETF to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which is the final registration step before listing on Nasdaq, and trading is expected to begin within 1 to 4 days.In addition, the ETF code is GHYP, and it has been renamed from "Grayscale HYPE ETF" to "Grayscale Hyperliquid Staking ETF," which is suspected to include new features allowing for staking.

According to Forbes, the decentralized derivatives platform Hyperliquid has launched the pre-IPO perpetual contract for SpaceX (SPCX-USDC) on Trade.xyz, sparking a global regulatory gray area controversy. This contract allows leveraged trading without holding any shares of SpaceX and has not been authorized by the company, with an initial reference price of $150, corresponding to an implied valuation of approximately $1.78 trillion, which quickly surged to $216.It is reported that this contract is settled in USDC, with prices derived from market oracles, and is not linked to SpaceX's actual financials or equity structure. SpaceX itself has neither authorized nor participated in this market, yet its valuation is being priced and traded in real-time on-chain, leading to the controversy of "private company price discovery being taken over by decentralized derivatives." This market originates from Hyperliquid's HIP-3 mechanism, which supports the notion that the valuations of private companies may be being repriced by on-chain derivatives, while the regulatory framework has yet to be established.

Grayscale CEO Barry Silbert (@BarrySilbert) posted on social media that the short liquidation price of "BTC OG insider whale" ZEC is a reasonable near-term price target.

According to on-chain analysis firm Lookonchain's tracking data, two wallets associated with Grayscale purchased and immediately staked 510,387 HYPE tokens, with a total value of approximately $24.95 million.This move comes as Grayscale advances its HYPE spot investment product, having submitted an initial S-1 registration statement in January 2026 and amended the documents on May 11 to include direct network staking provisions, intending to list on Nasdaq under the ticker HYPG.Coinbase Custody is responsible for the security of the underlying tokens, while BNY Mellon provides administrative and operational support. The large-scale institutional purchases and locked staking have reduced the circulating supply in the market, pushing the HYPE spot price toward a historical high around May 20. The eventual listing of the product still depends on the approval results from federal securities regulators.
