Bitwise announced the company has completed the rebranding of all ETPs in its European product suite following last year’s acquisition of ETC Group.
The move comes as Bitwise looks to expand its position as a key market participant in crypto markets in 2025, a year in which a number of structural upward trends “are likely to bolster crypto markets.”
Bitwise will continue to broaden crypto access for investors, provide products, insights on the market developments, and maintain transparency and accountability in a “landmark year” for the crypto industry.
Hunter Horsley, CEO and Co-Founder of Bitwise:
“We expect 2025 will be a pivotal year for crypto, with Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana each hitting record highs, and a more crypto-friendly environment in Washington bringing welcome clarity to the space. Bitwise is looking forward to using this moment to reinforce our position as a market leader both in the U.S. and Europe.”
Bitwise saw growth in 2024, a year in which Bitcoin soared to “an all-time high of $103,992 after the record-setting launch of spot bitcoin ETFs in the U.S.”
The company crossed over “$12 billion in client assets, using its momentum to launch new institutional-grade crypto staking ETPs, namely the recently launched Bitwise Solana Staking ETP, and the Bitwise Aptos Staking ETP, in addition to filing a Form S-1 for an XRP spot ETF in the U.S.”
Another highlight of 2024 for Bitwise was the “launch of Bitwise Onchain Solutions after the company’s acquisition of Attestant Limited, an institutional-grade Ethereum staking provider with $3.7 billion in staked assets at the time of the acquisition.”
In 2025, adoption of bitcoin and other crypto assets by corporate treasurers are set to be another “major driver supporting the asset class,” Bitwise Head of Research Europe Dr Andre Dragosch said in a study this month.
At the moment, companies hold only “4% of the total available Bitcoin supply, a number that already doubled last year.”
With total free cash flow between S&P 500 companies “standing at $1.5 trillion – more than twice the capital ever invested in Bitcoin – this offers an unprecedented growth opportunity.”
Bitwise claims that it will continue to position itself as “a thought leader with studies like the above and several others, providing a rich stream of research and market analysis for investors.”
As covered, Bitwise is one of the world’s crypto specialist asset managers.
Financial advisors, family offices, and institutional investors have partnered with us to “understand and access the opportunities in crypto.”
Since 2017, Bitwise has established a record of “managing a suite of index and active solutions across ETPs, separately managed accounts, private funds, and hedge fund strategies—spanning both the U.S. and Europe.”
In Europe, for the past four years Bitwise (previously ETC Group) has developed a “suite of crypto ETPs, including Europe’s largest and most liquid bitcoin ETP.”
This family of crypto ETPs is domiciled in Germany and approved by BaFin. We exclusively partner with reputable entities from the traditional financial industry, ensuring that “100% of the assets are securely stored offline (cold storage) through regulated custodians.”
Their European products comprise a collection of carefully designed financial instruments that “integrate into any professional portfolio, providing comprehensive exposure to crypto as an asset class.”
Access is straightforward via European stock exchanges, with “primary listings on Xetra, the most liquid exchange for ETF trading in Europe.”
Retail investors benefit from access through DIY/online brokers, coupled with their secure physical ETP structure, which includes “a redemption feature.”
