Bitwise Registers Avalanche ETF in Delaware to Attract Institutional Capital

Bitwise Asset Management has registered a new ETF focused on Avalanche's AVAX token, aimed at attracting institutional capital. The registration was filed on September 5, 2025, but has not had a significant market impact on AVAX's price or overall market activity. The ETF's introduction may increase asset recognition and investment traction for Avalanche.

Bitwise Asset Management has filed for the registration of a new ETF focused on Avalanche's native token, AVAX. The trust entity, named "Bitwise Avalanche ETF," was registered on September 5, 2025, in Delaware. This move signals Bitwise's intention to expand its lineup of single-crypto investment products beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum, targeting institutional investors interested in AVAX [1].

The registration of the Bitwise Avalanche ETF comes at a time when interest in regulated digital asset funds is growing. Earlier this year, Grayscale and VanEck also filed with the SEC to launch products tracking AVAX's price, indicating a broader trend in the market. The ETF, if approved, would provide investors with a regulated way to gain exposure to AVAX, potentially increasing its asset recognition and investment traction [1].

Avalanche, launched in 2020, is a blockchain platform designed to overcome the blockchain trilemma by offering fast settlement in under two seconds, high transaction capacity, and efficient energy usage. These features make it an attractive option for institutional investors seeking a scalable and energy-efficient blockchain solution [1].

The filing of the Bitwise Avalanche ETF coincides with a period of increased interest in Chainlink, another significant player in the blockchain ecosystem. Chainlink has secured partnerships with ICE, the U.S. Department of Commerce (BEA), and xStocks, which have accelerated its role as the leading oracle for real-world asset tokenization and market data feeds. These partnerships have boosted institutional interest in Chainlink and its associated tokens [2].

The recent developments in the ETF and oracle markets suggest a growing trend towards regulated and institutional-grade investment products in the cryptocurrency space. As Bitwise continues to expand its ETF offerings, it is likely to attract more institutional capital, further driving the growth and adoption of digital assets like AVAX.
