SEC Approves Bitwise's Combined Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF, Expanding Crypto Investment Options

  • The SEC has granted accelerated approval for Bitwise’s combined Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF, marking another milestone in crypto investment products.
  • The new ETF will be market cap-weighted and trade on the NYSE Arca, offering exposure to both spot BTC and ETH.
  • This approval follows similar products from Hashdex and Franklin Templeton, indicating growing institutional acceptance.
  • Asset management firms are rushing to file crypto-related ETF applications under the new administration.
  • The trend extends beyond major cryptocurrencies, with firms seeking approval for memecoin and alternative blockchain ETFs.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has expanded the cryptocurrency investment landscape by approving Bitwise’s combined Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF, allowing traditional investors to gain exposure to both leading digital assets through a single regulated investment vehicle.

Bitwise Asset Management, in partnership with the New York Stock Exchange, will launch this pioneering product that weights its holdings according to market capitalization. This structure reflects the current dominance of Bitcoin and Ethereum in the cryptocurrency market, while providing investors with diversification benefits.

The approval follows the successful launch of similar products by Hashdex and Franklin Templeton. Notably, Hashdex’s offering provides exposure to a diverse cryptocurrency basket, representing a broader approach to digital asset investing.

Market observers note this regulatory green light signals growing institutional acceptance of cryptocurrency investments. The timing coincides with the new administration’s more accommodative stance toward financial innovation, prompting asset managers to file additional cryptocurrency product applications.

The trend has expanded beyond major cryptocurrencies, with firms pursuing ETF approval for alternative digital assets. Coinbase, the leading U.S. cryptocurrency exchange, has already moved to capitalize on this momentum by filing to list futures products tracking Solana and Hedera, suggesting a broadening of the institutional crypto investment landscape.

For retail investors, these regulated products offer a familiar and potentially safer way to gain cryptocurrency exposure through traditional brokerage accounts, eliminating the complexity of direct digital asset custody and management.
