Bitwise, the world's largest cryptocurrency index fund manager, has once again made its mark on the Swiss stock market. It is accelerating its expansion into the European market by listing five new cryptocurrency exchange-traded products (ETPs) on the Zurich-based SIX Swiss Exchange. These products include major coins such as Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), and XRP, along with staking and index-tracking products.
This new listing aims to increase access to cryptocurrencies for European investors and integrate digital asset exposure into existing traditional portfolios. These ETPs, designed with a physical backing, are 100% collateralized by assets held in cold wallets and, like gold-backed ETPs, are structured to be physically redeemable.
Bitwise currently operates over 30 cryptocurrency products, and its assets under management exceeded $15 billion (approximately KRW 20.85 trillion) as of August 2025. This represents over 200% growth compared to just one year ago, in October 2024. Bitwise stated, "This achievement was possible thanks to the trust of our investors and partners," adding, "2025 is shaping up to be a defining year for the cryptocurrency market."
“These five flagship products will provide investors with new opportunities to tap into the full potential of the cryptocurrency market,” said Ronald Richter, Head of Strategy for Europe at Bitwise. “Switzerland is the epicenter of the European digital asset market, and we are delighted to be showcasing our portfolio of products on the prestigious SIX exchange.”
The listed product lineup includes a Bitcoin ETP (BTC1), Ethereum Staking (ET32), Solana Staking (BSOL), physical XRP (GXRP), and the MSCI Global Digital Asset Select 20 (DA20) Index, which tracks the 20 most promising coins worldwide. Investors can indirectly access cryptocurrency assets through these ETPs without a cryptocurrency wallet.
It's no coincidence that Bitwise has turned its attention to Europe. Switzerland launched the world's first cryptocurrency ETF in 2018 and introduced Bitcoin custody services in 2021. Furthermore, the country has been proactive in adopting digital assets from the beginning, opening a Bitcoin embassy with El Salvador in 2022.
This listing serves as an example of the growing acceptance of cryptocurrencies within the broader European financial market, and it remains to be seen whether similar product expansions will follow in the US and Asian markets.
