Regulatory Momentum in Europe Fuels Bitwise’s Listing of Flagship Crypto ETPs
Asset management firm Bitwise announced on Sept. 4 that it had listed five flagship crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs) on the SIX Swiss Exchange, strengthening its presence in Switzerland’s established digital asset market. The move followed Bitwise’s August disclosure that client assets had climbed beyond $15 billion across 40 investment products, reflecting a 200% increase since October 2024.
The five new listings include the Bitwise Core Bitcoin ETP, Bitwise Ethereum Staking ETP, Bitwise Solana Staking ETP, Bitwise MSCI Digital Assets Select 20 ETP, and the Bitwise Physical XRP ETP. Each provides exposure to different segments of the cryptocurrency market, including staking strategies, index tracking, and individual tokens.
Ronald Richter, regional director of investment strategy in Europe, highlighted the significance of the launch:
The five flagship products we have listed in Switzerland will broaden options for investors looking to benefit from the full potential of crypto markets.
“Europe is rapidly opening up for digital assets, and Switzerland is a leading and crucial market at the heart of the continent. I’m extremely pleased that we’re developing our product suite on the widely respected SIX exchange, with new options such as staking and index products,” he added.
Bradley Duke, head of Europe, described the expansion as aligned with Bitwise’s strategy to offer “best-in-class crypto ETPs,” underpinned by institutional-grade custody and regulated financial infrastructure. All five ETPs are fully backed by their respective assets, securely held offline, and include physical redemption mechanisms to mitigate counterparty risk.
The timing of the listings coincides with favorable regulatory momentum in Europe. U.K. regulators are expected to allow retail access to crypto ETPs starting Oct. 8, 2025, while French authorities are reviewing possible extensions to distribution rules. Despite risks associated with volatility, liquidity, and regulatory shifts, advocates argue that regulated crypto ETPs provide investors with a more secure and transparent avenue than unregulated markets. By broadening its Swiss footprint with five distinct products, Bitwise underscores how traditional finance is increasingly converging with digital assets.
