At Bitwise, we continuously strive for best-in-class product quality, placing investors’ needs at the center of every decision. We believe our products should provide smart, convenient access to digital asset opportunities—through regulated platforms built on time-tested financial market infrastructure.
Bitwise launched its first European crypto ETP in 2020, at a time when interest in blockchain and digital assets was accelerating - as was demand for well-structured, accessible investment solutions. Drawing on our team’s deep roots in traditional financial markets, we aim to continuously design products with institutional-grade standards across custody, trading, regulation, and compliance. In a space as complex as crypto, every Bitwise ETP is built with structural safeguards and the transparency professional investors expect from products listed on regulated markets.
Learn moreCrypto exchange traded products (ETPs) can be the right fit for investors who prefer not to hold accounts on crypto exchanges, prefer not to manage their own blockchain wallets or who simply want to keep their crypto exposure alongside traditional assets in a standard securities account with their broker or bank.
Today, investors have more ways than ever to access crypto investment exposure - and just as many considerations to weigh. Bitwise serves private and professional investors alike, including financial advisors, institutions, broker-dealers, banks, family offices, and wealth managers - each with important responsibilities and high expectations. Our products are built specifically to meet those expectations.
Here, we outline Bitwise’s professional approach to crypto asset management.
Bitwise maintains transparency and transaction integrity throughout its operational model.
Liquidity on-exchange is supported by Authorised Participants (APs)—regulated financial institutions within the EU and EEA. These APs use the creation/redemption mechanism with the issuer, ensuring that all crypto entering the structure originates from regulated and verified sources.
To strengthen this process, Bitwise uses Crystal Blockchain, a leading blockchain analytics tool, to monitor the origin and risk profile of incoming crypto. Crystal performs on-chain tracing, assigns risk scores based on known wallet associations, and flags suspicious activity in real time. This 24/7 monitoring helps maintain a compliant, transparent, and auditable framework for all inflows into the ETPs.

This website is operated by Bitwise Europe GmbH (“Bitwise”, “we”, “us”). The information on this website is intended for UK retail clients and other visitors in the United Kingdom. If you are not in the UK, local laws and rules may differ and the materials here may not be appropriate for you.
All content is provided for general information only. It does not constitute investment advice, tax or legal advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any investment and must not be relied upon to make an investment decision. You should consider whether an investment is suitable for your circumstances and, where appropriate, seek independent professional advice.
Cryptoassets and crypto-linked products are high-risk. The FCA categorises retail crypto promotions as Restricted Mass Market Investments (RMMI). As such, additional prominence, risk-warning and risk-summary requirements apply to retail communications. You could lose all the money you invest.
Investments in cryptoassets or many crypto-linked products are generally not covered by the UK Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) or the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS). You should not expect to be protected if something goes wrong.
Access to certain pages, features, or transactions may be subject to client categorisation and appropriateness assessments required by FCA rules. We may ask you to complete checks or declarations before you can proceed.
Where this website contains a retail financial promotion for crypto or other RMMIs, you will see the FCA-prescribed risk warning and a link (“Take 2 mins to learn more”) to the FCA risk summary presented in a pop-up or dedicated page. For convenience, you can access that summary here at any time.
Where performance is shown, past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results. Any projections, targets, or forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain and may not be realised. Fees and expenses reduce returns.
Returns may be reduced by fees, charges, spreads, and taxes. Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and may change. Seek professional advice if unsure.
Where a prospectus (including any base or supplemental prospectus) or KID/PRIIPs KIID or equivalent is provided, it is regulatory disclosure, not marketing. Those documents are generally outside the UK financial-promotion restriction.
In line with FCA rules for high-risk investments, we do not offer incentives to invest (e.g., refer-a-friend bonuses, monetary/non-monetary perks) in relation to retail crypto promotions.
External links are provided for convenience only. We do not control and are not responsible for third-party websites or their content. We take reasonable care to ensure accuracy but do not guarantee completeness, timeliness, or availability of the website or its contents; information may change without notice.
