Grayscale Files for Spot BNB ETF in Delaware Court

The filing, dated Jan. 8, 2026, is a preliminary move that precedes a formal application to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Analysts Predict BNB Price Upside Past $1000 Soon
Following this development around a BNB ETF, the Binance Coin price has shown modest gains. However, it still faces rejection and is trading under $900 resistance as of press time.
Based on the BNB technical setup, some market analysts believe that the altcoin is ready for a rally to $1,000. Speaking on the development, popular market analyst Crypto Rand noted Binance Coin (BNB) is showing renewed bullish momentum after forming a technical double-bottom pattern above the $850 level.
According to the analyst, BNB is now pressing against key horizontal resistance, with price action suggesting a potential breakout. If the resistance is cleared, BNB price could make its next move to $1,000, noted the analyst.

On the other hand, crypto analyst Crypto Patel has set an aggressive long-term target for BNB. He noted that the altcoin is showing major strength after breaking out from its previous all-time high and has turned it into a key support level.
BNB continues to trade above a multi-year ascending trendline, reinforcing the broader bullish structure. However, he said that any dip under $800 could push it into the long-term accumulation zone of $500–$800 range.
