NYSE Arca has submitted a submitting to record the $1.3 billion Bitwise 10 Crypto Index Fund, aiming to transform it into an exchange-traded product.
NYSE Group’s NYSE Arca has filed to record the $1.3 billion Bitwise 10 Crypto Index Fund, marking a serious step in Bitwise Asset Administration’s effort to transition the fund to an exchange-traded product.
In a Nov. 15 weblog announcement, the asset administration agency stated the conversion to an ETP would introduce ongoing subscriptions and redemptions at Web Asset Worth, a mechanism designed to align secondary market costs extra carefully with the fund’s underlying worth.
“Bitwise believes that ETPs are among the most efficient, convenient, and useful vehicles for providing crypto exposure. We remain committed to converting BITW to an ETP.”

Bitwise to focus on broader Bitcoin entry
Launched in 2017, BITW offers publicity to the ten largest cryptocurrencies, together with Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), weighted by market capitalization. As of Oct. 31, the fund’s holdings had been led by Bitcoin at 75.1% and Ethereum at 16.5%.
Bitwise says the submitting with NYSE Arca represents the subsequent part in its technique to broaden institutional and retail participation in crypto markets. Matt Hougan, Bitwise’s chief funding officer says BITW “opened up new possibilities as the first fund to provide a broad, index-based approach to crypto markets.”
The submitting comes only a few weeks after Hougan emphasised Bitcoin’s bullish trajectory, noting in a social media publish that the asset is on monitor to surpass $100,000 per BTC.
