Bitwise files for 11 new crypto ETFs tracking Bittensor, Tron and others
Crypto asset manager Bitwise has filed applications for 11 new cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
In an N-1A form filed Tuesday, Bitwise sought to launch a set of "strategy" ETFs, which make both direct and indirect investments in a cryptocurrency. Each fund will invest up to 60% of its assets directly in a token, while the remainder will be invested into one or more exchange-traded products that provide exposure to the token.
The funds may also invest in derivatives contracts, such as futures contracts and swap agreements, the filing noted.
Tuesday's set of applications includes strategy ETFs seeking to track Aave, Canton (CC), Ethena (ENA), Hyperliquid (HYPE), NEAR, Starknet (STRK), Sui, Bittensor (TAO), Tron (TRX), Uniswap (UNI), and Zcash (ZEC).
With the record-breaking success of spot bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, Bitwise quickly moved to launch products tracking other major cryptocurrencies. In October, it became the first issuer to launch a spot Solana ETF in the U.S., and subsequently launched XRP and Dogecoin ETFs in the following month.
Bitwise also recently filed an S-1 registration statement with the SEC for a spot Sui ETF, and an amended statement for a Hyperliquid ETF.
Bullish on 2026
While bitcoin and the broader cryptocurrency market slumped over the fourth quarter, Bitwise stood firm on its bullish outlook for the coming year.
Earlier this month, Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan said bitcoin is likely to defy its historical four-year market cycle and reach new all-time highs in 2026.
Hougan pointed to the diminishing impact of successive bitcoin halvings, expectations for falling interest rates, and a reduction in leverage-driven blowups. He also predicted that institutional adoption will accelerate in the new year.
Bitcoin's correlation with the equity market could also fall in 2026, Hougan added, pointing to crypto-specific drivers, including regulatory progress and institutional inflows, to support digital assets even if equities face pressure from valuation concerns and slower economic growth.

Slowing AI models may not necessarily be bearish: three structural tailwinds for traditional data centers outweigh rising interest rates
HSBC believes that the traditional growth logic of data centers is shifting from frontier model iteration to AI commercialization and diffusion. With the rise in inference demand and increased capital expenditure from cloud service providers, combined with tightening power and regulatory constraints, the supply-demand imbalance is expected to persist until 2028. Even with rising interest rates, the compound annual growth rate of AFFO per share is still expected to reach 11%–12% from 2025 to 2028, demonstrating strong earning resilience.
This time, will U.S. Treasury bonds crash U.S. stocks?
Bloomberg strategist Simon White warns that the recent rise in US Treasury yields is shifting from a "benign" increase driven by interest rate expectations to a disorderly surge fueled by expanding term premium. Market analysts note that higher long-term interest rates will simultaneously push up US stock valuation discount rates and corporate financing costs, intensifying liquidation pressure on highly leveraged assets. If interest rates above 5% become the new norm, US stock valuations will face ongoing compression pressure.
