Asset management company Bitwise has listed four Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) exchange-traded products on the London Stock Exchange, expanding its business presence in Europe.
According to an announcement on April 16, the listed products include the Bitwise Core Bitcoin ETP, Bitwise Physical Bitcoin ETP, Bitwise Physical Ethereum ETP, and Bitwise Ethereum Staking ETP.
These products are only open to certified institutional investors or qualified investors, and retail investors cannot participate.
As digital assets occupy a more significant position in global financial markets, attracting more institutional interest in cryptocurrencies and enhancing the legitimacy of this emerging asset class, Bitwise is applying to launch cryptocurrency investment tools.
The resignation of former U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Gary Gensler has triggered a wave of cryptocurrency ETF applications in the U.S.
Since Gensler's departure in January, asset management firms and cryptocurrency companies have been submitting application documents, hoping for a more relaxed regulatory environment.
Bitwise's Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF (which allows investors to gain exposure to both digital assets through a single investment tool) received preliminary approval from the SEC in January, but still requires final approval before officially listing.
In March 2025, the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) submitted a rule change application to list the Bitwise Dogecoin (DOGE) ETF on U.S. exchanges.
If approved, DOGE would become the first meme coin with a U.S. listed investment tool, potentially attracting more institutional funds into this dog-themed social token.
Bitwise also applied for an Aptos ETF in March. The proposed Bitwise Aptos ETF will hold the native cryptocurrency APT of a high-throughput layer one blockchain and will not provide staking rewards.
Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan predicts that Bitcoin ETFs will attract $50 billion in inflows by 2025.
Institutional funds flowing into cryptocurrencies through ETFs help stabilize prices for digital assets with investment tools, reducing volatility by channeling funds from traditional stock market investors into the cryptocurrency market.
