Hyperliquid’s HYPE token is joining the ranks of Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, and Solana inside a regulated ETF wrapper. Hashdex’s Nasdaq CME Crypto Index ETF, which trades under the ticker NCIQ, will add HYPE as its ninth holding effective September 1, 2026, giving the token a 3.36% portfolio weight.
That makes HYPE the fifth-largest position in the fund.
Inside the numbers
Bitcoin dominates at 74.36%, Ethereum sits at 11.88%, XRP holds 5.21%, Solana commands 3.79%, and HYPE slides in at 3.36%. The gap between Solana and HYPE is less than half a percentage point.
NCIQ launched in February 2025 with only Bitcoin and Ethereum, so the expansion to nine assets over roughly 18 months reflects how quickly the eligible universe of crypto assets has grown under the index’s methodology. To qualify for inclusion, tokens must meet market capitalization thresholds, liquidity standards, and compliance requirements aligned with SEC regulations.
