Crypto ETF issuer Bitwise has filed a series of documents with the U.S. SEC to roll out new funds. The latest funds are pegged to leading altcoins, which include ZEC, HYPE, and SUI.
Bitwise Submits Eleven Crypto ETF Applications
The company filed a new application on the 30th of December to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the approval of 11 new crypto exchange-traded funds. The 11 new ETFs are structured such that 60% of the assets are invested directly in the underlying crypto.
The remaining 40% of the funds will be invested in ETPs that follow these assets. The funds will also use derivatives to adjust their exposure.
The lineup of Strategy ETFs will track AAVE, Uniswap, ZEC, Canton, Ethena, HYPE, NEAR, Starknet, Sui, Bittensor (TAO), and TRON. The tickers and expense ratios are not available yet, but filings indicate these ETFs will start on March 16, 2026.
It reflects strategies known to regulators, indicating Bitwise’s efforts to strike a balance between exposure to crypto directly and other products that fit right into existing frameworks of an ETF.
Worth mentioning is the new TAO Strategy ETF that has been proposed. This comes right after Grayscale filed paperwork yesterday intended to convert its Bittensor Trust into a spot ETF. This could provide institutions with full exposure to the AI token in question.
Zcash is also finding itself at the forefront. Grayscale had filed a notice to convert its Zcash Trust into a spot ZEC ETF. This is largely because of investor interest in introducing a privacy-focused asset to regulated markets.
Bitwise’s Overall Crypto Fund Portfolio
The aggressive growth comes hot on the heels of the crypto ETF issuer’s success. The company in October rolled out the first U.S. spot Solana ETF, followed by its first XRP and Dogecoin funds in November.
Interest in Hyperliquid also heightened following the update in the Bitwise filings regarding what may be the first U.S.-listed Hyperliquid ETF. According to experts at the time, the amendment means it could launch very soon.
In addition, it is worth noting that SUI remains newsworthy given past filings by the issuer for a spot fund for the SUI token. The proposed plan is to provide 100% exposure.
Meanwhile, the firm has maintained a positive outlook the market for 2026. Matt Hougan, the company’s Chief Investment Officer, recently said that Bitcoin might break its usual four-year pattern and reach new highs next year.
