The exchange has officially filed a 19b-4 form with the SEC to list and trade the Grayscale Hedera (HBAR) ETF.
If approved, this would mark another milestone for crypto adoption in traditional finance.
Grayscale Seeks Hedera ETF Approval
Grayscale is one of the biggest names in crypto asset management. The firm already runs several digital asset investment products, including its popular Bitcoin ETF. Now, it wants to offer an ETF tied to Hedera (HBAR). It is a blockchain network known for its speed, security, and low-cost transactions.
By filing the 19b-4 form, NASDAQ is asking the SEC for permission to list and trade this ETF on the exchange. It’s an important step, but it doesn’t mean approval is guaranteed. The SEC still needs to review the filing and decide if the ETF meets its standards.

Buying and selling HBAR through an ETF would make things as easy as pie, without the hassle of setting up a crypto wallet or dealing with exchanges. It would also give traditional investors a regulated way to gain exposure to Hedera’s technology and potential growth.
