Bitwise 10 Crypto Index ETF Lists on NYSE Arca, Marking Major….

The Bitwise 10 Crypto Index ETF (BITW) begins trading today on NYSE Arca, opening a new chapter for crypto index products in the United States.

Bitwise confirmed the milestone in an announcement shared on X, calling it a major step forward for investors seeking broad exposure to the digital asset market.

BITW enters the market as the largest crypto index fund in the world, holding $1.25 billion in assets under management as of today. The fund’s eight-year track record now extends to a fully tradable exchange-listed product, giving investors a way to own a diversified basket of major crypto assets in a single ticker.

A New Option for Investors Who Don’t Want to Pick Winners

Crypto continues to grow, but for many investors the challenge remains the same: choosing which assets to back and keeping up with daily market changes. Bitwise argues that BITW solves this problem directly.

The fund gives investors exposure to the largest crypto assets by market capitalization, whatever they happen to be at any point in time. Instead of predicting which blockchain ecosystem will dominate, BITW provides a broad index that automatically adjusts to market trends. This makes the product attractive to investors who believe in crypto’s long-term potential but prefer not to make individual asset bets.

The listing offers a simple message: rather than guess the next big winner, an investor can choose BITW and let the index determine the allocation.

How BITW Works: A Monthly-Rebalanced Basket of Top 10 Crypto Assets

BITW holds a single basket of ten leading crypto assets, ranked by market cap, screened for risk, and rebalanced every month. The structure is flexible, and there is no cap on the largest position. This means allocation follows market reality without artificial limits.

If the market consolidates and Bitcoin becomes the only asset with lasting value, BITW would automatically tilt toward almost entirely Bitcoin. If instead the market expands and eight different assets emerge as strong long-term players, the fund adjusts to include them too, even if some of those assets have not yet been created.

The core idea is straightforward: BITW adapts as the crypto landscape shifts. Investors don’t need to forecast which tokens will succeed or collapse; the index handles that filtering.

Screened for Liquidity, Security, and Compliance

The underlying Bitwise 10 Large Cap Crypto Index is built to navigate the unique risks of digital assets. It uses strict screening rules that incorporate liquidity thresholds, security considerations, and compliance checks.

These filters matter. In 2022, during the market turmoil, LUNA reached top-10 status by market cap. But despite its size, it was never admitted into the index because the screening process flagged concerns about the asset’s fundamentals and stability. BITW investors were therefore shielded from one of the most dramatic asset collapses in crypto history.

To keep the process transparent, Bitwise publishes monthly updates showing which assets are entering or exiting the index. This information is released publicly, at the same time, to the entire market, no private access, no preferential treatment.

A Product With High Potential and High Risk

Bitwise emphasizes that BITW is not an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. As a result, it does not offer the same investor protections that govern mutual funds or traditional ETFs. The company outlines this clearly.

BITW is not suitable for all investors. It carries significant risk and heightened volatility, and there is always the possibility of losing the entire invested amount. An investment in BITW is not a direct investment in crypto assets themselves. Instead, it tracks the performance of the index it is designed to replicate.

Foreside Fund Services, LLC serves as the Marketing Agent for BITW.

Bitwise states these disclosures openly to make sure investors understand the structure and risk profile before engaging with the product.

Bitwise’s Long Road to Bringing Crypto Indexing to the U.S. Market

Bitwise has been building toward this moment since 2017. Over the years, the firm has positioned itself as a key player in expanding investor access to digital assets. With the launch of BITW on NYSE Arca, the company says it is delivering a product investors have asked for repeatedly: a regulated exchange-traded product that captures the broad crypto market through a single index.

The company’s announcement on X reflects that sentiment directly. Bitwise calls 2025 a breakout year for the space and says it has never been more optimistic about the opportunities ahead.

The listing reinforces Bitwise’s bet that indexed exposure, not single-asset speculation, will become a core part of the crypto investment landscape. As more investors look for structured ways to participate in digital assets, BITW offers a familiar ETF-style wrapper built around the sector’s largest names.

With the product now trading live on NYSE Arca, Bitwise says it is excited to continue working alongside the investors who helped make the fund the largest crypto index product in the world.
