Broad-based crypto exposure for investors

Launched in 2017, BITW was the first crypto index fund and aims to track the Bitwise 10 Large Cap Crypto Index. The fund includes major assets such as Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), Solana (SOL), XRP, and others. Monthly rebalancing and active screening ensure that the fund reflects market capitalization, liquidity, custody standards, regulatory status, and network distributions.

The uplisting allows BITW to allocate 90% of holdings to crypto assets already approved for single-coin exchange-traded products, including BTC, ETH, SOL, and XRP. In comparison, the remaining 10% is distributed across other eligible tokens. Bitwise expects the structure to provide investors a diversified, index-based approach to crypto exposure without having to pick individual winners.

Mainstream adoption and institutional oversight

Bitwise sees the uplisting as part of the broader adoption of crypto as a mainstream asset class. Hunter Horsley, CEO of Bitwise, highlighted that 2025 marks a pivotal year for crypto adoption and that BITW provides investors with regulated, diversified access to the sector. The fund benefits from oversight by the Bitwise Index Advisory Board, which includes industry veterans and blockchain experts.

BITW’s trading on NYSE Arca underscores growing regulatory clarity and institutional interest in crypto investments, offering both retail and institutional investors a streamlined pathway into digital assets while maintaining compliance with U.S. securities regulations.

Bitwise’s recent report follows its decision to list a spot XRP exchange-traded fund under the ticker “XRP,” which has drawn mixed reactions across the crypto community.
