| Organization | 1. Organization Grayscale Hyperliquid Staking ETF (the “Trust”) is a Delaware Statutory Trust that was formed on January 8, 2026 and commenced operations on June 3, 2026. The Trust’s investment objective is for the value of the Shares (based on HYPE per Share) to reflect the value of the Hyperliquid tokens (“HYPE”) held by the Trust and to reflect rewards from Staking a portion of the Trust’s HYPE, less the Trust’s expenses and other liabilities. The Trust issues Shares only in one or more blocks of 10,000 Shares (a block of 10,000 Shares is called a “Basket”) only to certain authorized participants (“Authorized Participants”) in exchange for HYPE. The Trust’s registration statement on Form S-1 relating to its continuous public offering of Shares was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on June 2, 2026 and the Shares were listed and began trading on Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) under the symbol “HYPG” on June 3, 2026. On June 2, 2026, the Grayscale Investments Sponsors, LLC (in such capacity, the “Seed Capital Investor”), purchased 20,000 Shares at a per-Share price of $25.00 (the “Seed Baskets”), for total proceeds to the Trust of $500,000. Grayscale Investments Sponsors, LLC did not receive from the Trust, or any of its affiliates, any fee or other compensation in connection with the initial seed sale. Grayscale Investments Sponsors, LLC, the sponsor of the Trust (“GSIS” or the “Sponsor”), is responsible for the day-to-day administration of the Trust pursuant to the provisions of the Trust Agreement. The Sponsor is responsible for preparing and providing annual and quarterly reports on behalf of the Trust to investors and is also responsible for selecting and monitoring the Trust’s service providers. As partial consideration for the Sponsor’s services, the Trust pays the Sponsor a Sponsor’s Fee as discussed in Note 6. The Sponsor also acts as the sponsor and manager of other single-asset and diversified investment products, each of which is an affiliate of the Trust. Information related to the affiliated investment products can be found on the Sponsor’s website at www.grayscale.com/resources/regulatory-filings. Any information contained on or linked from such website is not part of nor incorporated by reference into these unaudited financial statements. The Trust may receive staking rewards as a result of the Trust’s Staking pursuant to the Staking Arrangements. Staking on the Hyperliquid Network refers to the use of HYPE, or the permission for HYPE to be used through an agent or otherwise, in the Hyperliquid Network’s proof-of-stake validation protocol in exchange for the receipt of staking rewards paid in-kind (“Staking”). The Trust Agreement permits the Trust to engage in Staking, and on June 3, 2026, the Trust commenced Staking pursuant to the Staking Arrangements. The Sponsor has caused, and from time to time may cause, the Trust to enter into written arrangements (the “Staking Arrangements”) with the Custodian and one or more third party staking providers (each, a “Staking Provider”), pursuant to which a portion of the Trust’s HYPE is made available for staking through validator operations conducted by such Staking Providers (“Provider-Facilitated Staking”). The Custodian and the applicable Staking Provider are entitled to receive a portion of the gross staking rewards generated thereunder, representing the Custodian’s fee and the Staking Provider’s share of such staking rewards (collectively, the “Validator Fees”), with the remaining staking rewards received by the Trust, as discussed in Note 6. Liquidity Providers facilitate the purchase and sale of HYPE in connection with cash orders for creations or redemptions of Baskets. The Liquidity Providers with which GSIS, acting in its capacity as the “Liquidity Engager,” will engage in HYPE transactions are third parties that are not affiliated with the Sponsor or the Trust and are not acting as agents of the Trust, the Sponsor, or any Authorized Participant. Except for the contractual relationships between each Liquidity Provider and GSIS in its capacity as the Liquidity Engager, there is no contractual relationship between each Liquidity Provider and the Trust, the Sponsor, or any Authorized Participant. The Liquidity Engager may engage additional Liquidity Providers who are unaffiliated with the Trust in the future. The custodian of the Trust is Anchorage Digital Bank N.A. (the “Custodian”). The Custodian is responsible for the safekeeping of the Trust’s HYPE and maintains such assets in custody accounts established for the benefit of the Trust. The Custodian controls the private keys associated with the Trust’s HYPE and facilitates the deposit of HYPE from external blockchain addresses into the Trust’s custody accounts, as well as the withdrawal of HYPE from such accounts to blockchain addresses designated in accordance with the Custodian Agreement. Fees payable to the Custodian in connection with the custodial services provided under the Custodian Agreement are Sponsor-paid expenses. The transfer agent for the Trust (the “Transfer Agent”) is The Bank of New York Mellon. The responsibilities of the Transfer Agent are to (1) facilitate the issuance and redemption of shares of the Trust; (2) respond to correspondence by Trust shareholders and others relating to its duties; (3) maintain shareholder accounts; and (4) make periodic reports to the Trust. The co-transfer agent for the Trust (the “Co-Transfer Agent”) is Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company. The administrator for the Trust (the “Administrator”) is BNY Mellon Asset Servicing, a division of The Bank of New York Mellon. BNY Mellon Asset Servicing provides administration and accounting services to the Trust. The Administrator’s fees are paid on behalf of the Trust by the Sponsor. The marketing agent for the Trust (the “Marketing Agent”) is Foreside Fund Services, LLC. The Marketing Agent provides the following services to the Sponsor: (i) assist the Sponsor in facilitating Participant Agreements between and among Authorized Participants, the Sponsor, on behalf of the Trust, and the Transfer Agent; (ii) provide prospectuses to Authorized Participants; (iii) work with the Transfer Agent to review and approve orders placed by the Authorized Participants and transmitted to the Transfer Agent; (iv) review and file applicable marketing materials with FINRA and (v) maintain, reproduce and store applicable books and records. The Trust may also receive Incidental Rights and/or IR Virtual Currency as a result of the Trust’s investment in HYPE, in accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement. Incidental Rights are rights to claim, or otherwise establish dominion and control over, any virtual currency or other asset or right, which rights are incident to the Trust’s ownership of HYPE and arise without any action of the Trust, or of the Sponsor or Trustee on behalf of the Trust; IR Virtual Currency is any virtual currency tokens, or other asset or right, received by the Trust through the exercise (subject to the applicable provisions of the Trust Agreement) of any Incidental Right. The Sponsor has committed to cause the Trust to abandon irrevocably for no direct or indirect consideration, effective immediately prior to each time at which the Trust creates or redeems Shares, all Incidental Rights and IR Virtual Currency to which it would otherwise be entitled as of such time. In furtherance of that commitment, the Custodian Agreement provides that the Trust will abandon irrevocably for no direct or indirect consideration, effective immediately prior to each Creation Time and each Redemption Time, all Incidental Rights or IR Virtual Currency, except any such asset as to which the Trust previously took an Affirmative Action or that was previously subject to a Prospective Abandonment. The Sponsor has committed to cause the Trust not to take any Affirmative Action to acquire any Incidental Rights or IR Virtual Currency, thereby irrevocably abandoning any Incidental Rights and IR Virtual Currency to which the Trust may become entitled in the future. Because the Sponsor has now committed to causing the Trust to irrevocably abandon all Incidental Rights and IR Virtual Currency to which the Trust otherwise would become entitled in the future, and causing the Trust not to take any Affirmative Actions to acquire any Incidental Rights or IR Virtual Currency, the Trust will not receive any direct or indirect consideration for the Incidental Rights or IR Virtual Currency and thus the value of the Shares will not reflect the value of the Incidental Rights or IR Virtual Currency. In addition, in the event the Sponsor seeks to change the Trust’s policy with respect to Incidental Rights or IR Virtual Currency, an application would need to be filed with the SEC by NASDAQ seeking approval to amend its listing rules to permit the Trust to distribute the Incidental Rights or IR Virtual Currency in-kind to an agent of the shareholders for resale by such agent. On June 3, 2026, Shares of the Trust began trading on NASDAQ following the effectiveness of the Trust’s registration statement on Form S-1, as amended (File No. 333-294493). The Trust’s trading symbol on NASDAQ is “HYPG” and the CUSIP number for its Shares is 389936105. |
