Bitwise Lists Four Crypto ETPs on London Stock Exchange

Bitwise, a prominent asset manager, has expanded its presence in the European region by listing four Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH) exchange-traded products (ETPs) on the London Stock Exchange. The newly listed products include the Bitwise Core Bitcoin ETP, the Bitwise Physical Bitcoin ETP, Bitwise's Physical Ethereum ETP, and the Bitwise Ethereum Staking ETP. These ETPs are designed for institutional or otherwise-qualified investors with the necessary accreditation and are not available to retail investors.

This move by Bitwise comes as digital assets continue to gain traction in global financial markets, attracting increased institutional interest and enhancing the legitimacy of the nascent asset class. The listings reflect Bitwise's strategic efforts to capitalize on the growing acceptance of cryptocurrencies and to provide investors with diversified exposure to digital assets through regulated investment vehicles.

Bitwise's expansion into the European market follows a regulatory shift in the United States, where the resignation of the former Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman triggered a surge in crypto ETF applications. Asset managers and crypto firms have been quick to submit filings in anticipation of a more favorable regulatory environment. Bitwise's BTC and ETH ETF, which offers exposure to both digital assets in a single investment vehicle, received preliminary approval from the SEC in January but still awaits final approval before listing.

In addition to its European listings, Bitwise has also been active in the US market. In March 2025, the New York Stock Exchange submitted an application for a rule change to list the Bitwise Dogecoin ETF. If approved, Dogecoin would become the first memecoin with a US-listed investment vehicle, potentially attracting more institutional inflows into the dog-themed social token. Bitwise has also filed for an Aptos ETF, which will hold the native cryptocurrency of the high-throughput layer-1 blockchain, APT, without featuring staking rewards.

Bitwise's Chief Investment Officer, Matt Hougan, has predicted that Bitcoin ETFs could attract $50 billion in inflows during 2025. Institutional inflows into crypto ETFs are seen as a stabilizing factor for digital assets, as they provide a pipeline for capital to flow from traditional investors in the stock market to cryptocurrencies, thereby lowering volatility.
