Bitwise Launches Innovative BTC and ETH ETPs on London, Eyes ETF Expansion for DOGE and APT

Asset manager Bitwise has listed four new crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs) on the London Stock Exchange, featuring both Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) in various forms including physical and staking products. These offerings, which are available exclusively to institutional or otherwise-qualified investors, underscore a strategic push towards greater crypto legitimacy in the global financial landscape. In related developments, Bitwise is advancing additional investment vehicles. Its combined BTC and ETH ETF received preliminary SEC approval earlier this year, though final approval is pending. Moreover, a recent NYSE application proposes a Bitwise Dogecoin ETF, potentially marking the first ETF for a memecoin if approved, while a separate filing for an Aptos (APT) ETF aims to broaden investor exposure to high-throughput blockchain assets. Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan has predicted that Bitcoin ETFs could attract up to $50 billion in inflows during 2025, suggesting that institutional demand may significantly stabilize market volatility and drive mainstream adoption.
