Hyperliquid’s native token, HYPE, has been included in the portfolio of a US-based crypto index ETF for the first time. Added to Hashdex’s Nasdaq Crypto Index US ETF (NCIQ), HYPE now holds a 3.4% weighting, making it the fifth largest asset in the ETF.
According to the latest index composition released by Hashdex, Bitcoin (BTC) constitutes the largest portion of the portfolio with 74.6%. The fact that Bitcoin’s previous weighting was around 78% indicates that the share of BTC has been reduced with the recent adjustment.
Ethereum (ETH) ranks second with 11.8%, while XRP has a weighting of 5.1%. Solana’s (SOL) share increased from 3.2% to 3.7%. HYPE, with a weighting of 3.4%, is the fifth largest component of the ETF portfolio, right behind Solana.
HYPE’s inclusion in NCIQ is considered a significant development for the token, particularly in terms of access to regulated investment products, especially those based in the US.
