Bitwise’s BITW Wins SEC Approval, Expanding U.S. Crypto Index ETP Market
Summary
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved the Bitwise 10 Crypto Index Fund (BITW) to trade on NYSE Arca as an exchange-traded product (ETP). This makes BITW the second U.S.-listed multi-asset crypto index fund to achieve this status, following Grayscale's approval, moving it beyond over-the-counter trading into a regulated exchange listing structure similar to gold and oil funds. The $1.25 billion BITW tracks the 10 largest digital assets, offering diversified exposure to Bitcoin, Ether, Solana, and others, rebalanced monthly. Bitwise executives stated this uplisting is a "watershed moment" that could attract more institutional capital by allowing investment in the crypto thesis without direct token exposure.
