Bitwise 10 Crypto Index ETF
Bitwise 10 Crypto Index ETF is a U.S.-listed exchange-traded fund that seeks to track the performance of the ten largest crypto assets by free-float-adjusted market capitalization. Rather than holding a single coin, it maintains a diversified basket that is rebalanced monthly and screened for custody, liquidity, trading venue access, and security criteria. The fund’s portfolio is designed to represent a broad share of the crypto market while excluding assets that are pegged, operationally risky, or otherwise deemed unsuitable by the index committee. Its business is therefore centered on providing regulated, exchange-traded exposure to major digital assets through a rules-based index structure.
