Reports showed that the filings were made through an N-1A registration form on December 30, 2025. According to the documents, Bitwise plans to launch a group of “strategy” ETFs.

Investors to Benefit from the New ETFs’ Unique Setup

Each of the proposed ETFs will be allowed to invest up to 60% of its assets directly into the cryptocurrency it tracks. The remaining 40% will be spread across other exchange-traded products that also provide exposure to the same token. This arrangement allows the ETFs to integrate direct token holdings with indirect exposure.

The filing also noted that the funds may use derivatives. This includes tools like futures contracts and swap agreements. These instruments are typically used to manage exposure or adjust how funds track assets. Bitwise’s latest move comes amid strong investor demand for crypto ETFs in the US. Following the launch of spot Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) ETFs last year, interest in related products has soared considerably, reaching its peak in 2025. 

Bitwise is one of the fastest asset managers to respond to the soaring interest by rolling out new ETFs linked to top cryptocurrencies. In October 2025, the asset manager became the first to launch a spot Solana (SOL) ETF in the US. A month later, it rolled out two other ETFs linked to XRP and Dogecoin (DOGE).

Bitwise Seeks SEC Approval to Launch AVAX and HYPE ETFs

Beyond its latest filings, Bitwise has been pushing to launch several other ETFs. On November 27, Crypto2Community reported that the asset manager submitted a revised filing for a spot Avalanche (AVAX) ETF to the US regulators. The amended filing aimed to finalize the major structural aspects of the offering, clearing the path for the ETF’s listing on public markets. Bitwise’s AVAX ETF will list and trade on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) with the market ticker, “BAVA.” 

In addition, the asset management firm recently submitted an S-1 application for a spot Sui ETF. It also filed an updated registration statement related to a Hyperliquid (HYPE) ETF. Together, all these applications highlight Bitwise’s plan to offer investors wider access to major cryptocurrencies through regulated investment products.
