Nasdaq Crypto Index ETF Adds Hyperliquid's Hype Token

Hashdex's Nasdaq CME Crypto Index ETF (NCIQ) has expanded its portfolio to nine assets after adding Hyperliquid's HYPE token, according to a press release. The move brings one of the largest decentralized trading platforms into a diversified crypto investment product.

The addition of HYPE was made after it qualified for inclusion in the Nasdaq CME Crypto Index, which requires constituent assets to meet criteria covering market capitalization, liquidity, custody availability and regulatory standards for crypto exchange-traded products.

With HYPE now included, the Nasdaq CME Crypto Index comprises Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, XRP, Hyperliquid, Stellar, Cardano, Chainlink, and Bitcoin Cash. The composition gives NCIQ exposure to a wide range of crypto networks and use cases.

'NCIQ's decision shows how the fund can adapt as the crypto market develops,' said Hashdex CIO Samir Kerbage. 'We launched NCIQ in February 2025 with two assets, and we're expanding as the market matures.'
