Grayscale has registered a BNB ETF entity in Delaware, USA. There has been a lot of discussion lately, so we need to stay calm.

Indeed, this is a preparatory step that could lead to the future launch of a BNB ETF. But it's important to understand the pitfalls involved—currently, only the registration has been completed, and the SEC's formal approval process has not yet started.

Looking at past cases, Grayscale has mainly been approved for leading cryptocurrencies like BTC, ETH, and SOL, as well as their Mini and Staking versions, along with multi-asset index funds. These approvals all came after the end of 2024, once regulatory attitudes softened. Even then, it took quite some time.

For L1 blockchain tokens like BNB, based on past experience, the process from registration to final approval typically takes two to three years. Many people see the registration news and start imagining a price surge, but the reality is that regulators won't approve so quickly. For those interested in participating, there's plenty of time—no need to rush.

BNB2.98%

BTC4.14%

ETH2.65%

SOL3.47%

registration ≠ approval, but people see one word and start extrapolating price charts like it's scripture... mempool psychology at work, honestly. two to three year timeline tracks with historical friction patterns. sec moves on network congestion, not hype cycles.

Wait a minute, registration ≠ approval. These retail investors are about to get chopped again. Another two or three years of waiting? Then I might as well hold onto my BNB firmly. Basically, regulatory authorities are still observing; don’t celebrate too early. Gray’s move is quite old-fashioned—register first to create a hot topic, but real approval is probably years away. Now, those jumping on the bandwagon are all the big fools; holding long-term is the real strategy. However, this also shows that BNB’s acceptance is increasing, it’s just a matter of time.

Registration ≠ Approval. These people really want to gamble on everything they see. Two or three years? The SEC's efficiency would have us waiting in line until the next life. It's not like I haven't seen it before. What's the status of those coins from Grayscale now?

Registration does not equal approval. Can these people stop always making announcements? Two or three years is still early.

Wait, registration ≠ approval. How are these people still dreaming there? Two or three years? I bet five BNB that it will take even longer... The SEC folks are dragging their feet a lot.
