Bitwise Expands European Presence with Five Crypto ETP Listings on SIX Swiss Exchange

Bitwise has added five crypto ETPs to the SIX Swiss Exchange, including XRP, Solana staking, and Ethereum staking products. Assets under management at Bitwise reached $15 billion in August 2025, tripling from October 2024 levels. UK regulators are set to open crypto ETPs to retail investors by October, signaling broader market access. Each Bitwise ETP is physically backed with cold storage custody and features a redemption mechanism for investors.

Bitwise Asset Management has expanded its European presence by listing five new crypto ETPs (Exchange-Traded Products) on the SIX Swiss Exchange. The move includes the Bitwise Core Bitcoin ETP, Ethereum Staking ETP, Solana Staking ETP, and Physical XRP ETP, each fully backed by digital assets and integrated into traditional brokerage portfolios. Additionally, the MSCI Digital Assets Index, which tracks a select Top 20 Capped Index, is now available [1].

The listings are part of Bitwise’s long-term European expansion strategy. As of August 2025, the company’s client assets have reached $15 billion, a 200% increase from October 2024 levels [1]. This expansion is driven by growing corporate demand for cryptocurrencies, as investors seek diversification amid geopolitical crises and economic frailties [1].

The Bitwise ETPs feature institutional-grade custody, physical redemption mechanisms, and transparent index methodologies that comply with current regulatory standards in the US. The addition of these products highlights Switzerland’s regulatory openness as a crucial hub for digital assets [1].

In parallel, Monex Group, the parent company of Japanese crypto exchange Coincheck, has expanded its ownership in Canadian digital asset manager 3iQ Digital Holdings to almost complete control. Monex increased its stake to 97.8 percent through a CAD 45.84 million purchase, reflecting growing institutional demand for crypto assets [2].

The UK is set to open crypto ETPs to retail investors by October 2025, signaling broader market access. This move aligns with France’s recent finalization of new crypto-asset reporting rules, emphasizing the growing momentum around regulated crypto investment vehicles on the continent [1].

With these developments, investors have more options to benefit from the full potential of crypto markets using regulated products. Bitwise and Monex’s strategic moves underscore the increasing integration of cryptocurrencies into traditional financial infrastructure, driven by growing institutional interest.
