BNB ETP: Expanding Virtuneās Product Lineup
The BNB ETP joins Virtuneās roster of 20 other offerings, including Bitcoin, Staked Ethereum, XRP, Staked Solana, and the Stablecoin Index ETP. Each product is physically backed, ensuring transparency and investor confidence. Virtuneās lineup has shown mixed performance in early 2026. Bitcoin ETPs gained approximately 0.50% year-to-date, while XRP ETPs rose 1.67%. Conversely, Staked Ethereum ETPs declined by 1.78%. Defensive products fared better, with the Stablecoin Index ETP posting a notable 7.25% gain since January.
Share Split to Boost Liquidity
The launch coincides with Virtuneās announcement of a 10:1 share split for its Bitcoin Prime ETP, effective February 2, 2026. The split aims to improve trading liquidity and accessibility by reducing the NAV per share by a factor of ten. Investors will see no change in the total value of their holdings. For example, 100 shares will automatically convert into 1,000 shares, while the product name and ticker remain unchanged.

Institutional Momentum for BNB
BNBās institutional adoption has accelerated. Grayscale recently filed with the US SEC to list a BNB ETF under the ticker GBNB, following VanEckās earlier filing. In Europe, FLOKI became the first BNB chain coin to secure an exchange-traded product, debuting on Swedenās Spotlight Stock Market in October. Hedge fund executives are reportedly raising $100 million to build a BNB treasury, while BNC Network Company has purchased 38,888 BNB tokens, nearing 1% of the total supply.
Despite institutional enthusiasm, BNBās price has struggled. The token fell by over 6% in the past week and is down 10% over six months. Currently trading at $872 with a market cap of $119B, analysts project moderate growth for 2026-2027. Forecasts suggest BNB could reach $1,050 to $1,200, representing a potential 20% to 35% increase from current levels.
