In Brief:
- UBS, Bank of Montreal, and Jane Street joined major asset managers holding shares across three regulated U.S. Hyperliquid exchange-traded funds.
- Wealth High Governance led ownership with nearly $24 million, while five largest holders represented 70.8% of disclosed institutional exposure.
- The three funds attracted $356.58 million in inflows, while Payward pursued regulated U.S. access to Hyperliquid-linked perpetual futures through Bitnomial.
UBS, Bank of Montreal, and Jane Street have disclosed investments in U.S. exchange-traded funds tracking Hyperliquid’s HYPE token. According to Bloomberg Intelligence analyst James Seyffart, quarterly filings revealed several major institutions holding shares across three available funds.
Wealth High Governance Asset Management reported the largest known position through the 21Shares Hyperliquid ETF. Its filing listed 632,614 shares valued at nearly $24 million on June 30. OLP Capital Management ranked second with exposure worth approximately $10.5 million. Meanwhile, UBS placed third after reporting a $7.5 million position.
Bank of Montreal followed with holdings worth $6.7 million, while Jane Street disclosed an investment valued at $4.4 million. The five largest holders reported approximately $53 million combined.

Institutional Demand Builds Around Three Hyperliquid Funds
However, these filings do not provide a complete record of Hyperliquid ETF ownership. Managers generally submit Form 13F disclosures once qualifying securities exceed the required $100 million threshold. Moreover, second-quarter reports exclude transactions completed beyond the June 30 reporting date.
Bank positions may contain client assets rather than direct investments from corporate balance sheets. Trading firms could also hedge their shares through derivatives, reducing their directional exposure to HYPE. 21Shares launched THYP on May 12 as the first U.S. fund linked to Hyperliquid. Bitwise introduced BHYP three days later, while Grayscale launched HYPG on June 3.
These products give brokerage investors HYPE exposure without requiring direct token purchases or specialized cryptocurrency wallets. Furthermore, regulated funds provide an accessible route for institutions restricted from decentralized platforms. SoSoValue data showed cumulative net inflows of $356.58 million through September 4. Bitwise’s BHYP received the entire $10.52 million inflow recorded Friday.
Regulated U.S. Access Remains Under Development
Combined assets reached $480.86 million, while Hyperliquid operates a blockchain-based decentralized exchange best known for perpetual futures contracts.
Its platform restricts U.S. users, although Payward is working with the CFTC on regulated Hyperliquid-linked products through Bitnomial.
The proposal could provide American customers separate access without opening Hyperliquid’s main platform. Overall, the disclosures show banks, asset managers, and trading firms entering the emerging regulated Hyperliquid fund market.
