Rex Shares has officially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for a new exchange-traded fund (ETF) that will offer investors exposure to Binance Coin (BNB) through staking rewards. This move positions Rex as a pioneer in bringing the crypto staking model to US markets, offering an innovative product based on direct BNB exposure linked to annual returns of 3%-5%. The fund’s structure aims for quick approval by leveraging existing SEC-compliant frameworks and partnering with regulated custodians like Anchorage Digital, similar to their successful Solana Staking ETF launched earlier in the year. 800+ million dollars in institutional holdings underscore a growing interest in BNB across various sectors. Rex’s filing follows on Binance Coin’s rising popularity as a hedge against inflation and a viable investment instrument for passive income. The SEC is known for its slow approval process for crypto ETFs, but this filing could potentially reshape the landscape. This move comes alongside increasing institutional adoption of BNB, with over 30 publicly listed companies investing close to $800 million in the token during Q2 2025. Notable investors include Nano Labs and the BNB Network Company, who view BNB as both a diversification tool and a high-yield asset. The ETF’s success will depend on SEC approval after scrutiny of market manipulation and custody arrangements.
