SEC Clears Bitwise’s 10-Asset Crypto Index to Trade as NYSE Arca ETP

The uplisting delivers rules-based, index-style crypto exposure in a regulated format suitable for advisors, retirement accounts, institutions.

Overview

  • BITW began trading Tuesday on NYSE Arca after SEC approval, becoming the second U.S.-listed multi-asset crypto index ETP after Grayscale’s fund.
  • The fund’s assets at launch were reported as $1.25 billion by several outlets, with CNBC citing $1.5 billion, highlighting a discrepancy in AUM figures.
  • BITW holds ten cryptocurrencies: Bitcoin, ether, XRP, Solana, Chainlink, Litecoin, Cardano, Avalanche, Sui and Polkadot.
  • The product limits concentration by allocating 90% to assets with existing single-coin ETPs (Bitcoin, ether, Solana, XRP) and capping all other tokens at a combined 10%.
  • The index rebalances monthly using market-cap and liquidity screens, and the shift from OTC to a regulated exchange expands access for advisors, retirement platforms and institutions.
