Catenaa, Monday, January 05, 2026- Crypto asset manager Bitwise has filed applications with the US Securities and Exchange Commission to launch 11 new cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds designed to track tokens including Bittensor, Tron, Aave, and Uniswap.
The filings, submitted via N-1A forms on Tuesday, propose “strategy” ETFs that invest up to 60% of assets directly in a given cryptocurrency, with the remainder allocated to exchange-traded products providing additional exposure. The funds may also use derivatives such as futures and swaps to replicate token performance.
The proposed ETFs would track Aave, Canton (CC), Ethena (ENA), Hyperliquid (HYPE), NEAR, Starknet (STRK), Sui, Bittensor (TAO), Tron (TRX), Uniswap (UNI), and Zcash (ZEC). Bitwise has previously launched U.S. spot ETFs for Solana, XRP, and Dogecoin, and recently filed for a spot Sui ETF and an amended Hyperliquid ETF.
The move follows strong growth in the crypto ETF market, particularly for spot bitcoin and ether products, and reflects increasing demand for token-specific investment options. Bitwise said the strategy ETFs aim to offer diversified exposure while providing a regulated vehicle for institutional and retail investors.
Bitwise remains bullish on the coming year. Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan said bitcoin could defy its historical four-year cycle to reach new all-time highs in 2026, citing lower leverage-driven risks, falling interest rates, and growing institutional adoption. He also noted that bitcoin’s correlation with equities may decline, supporting digital assets even amid slower economic growth.
The filings signal continued expansion of the U.S. crypto ETF landscape, as investors seek both broad and token-specific exposure within regulated investment vehicles.
