Crypto index fund manager Bitwise announced the launch of its Bitwise Ethereum Strategy ETF (AETH) and Bitwise Bitcoin and Ether Equal Weight Strategy ETF (BTOP) on Monday, October 2. The two products will provide investors with exposure to CME Ether futures through the popular and regulated ETF format for the first time. AETH invests in regulated CME Ether futures focused on front-month contracts, while BTOP provides equal exposure to regulated CME Bitcoin Futures and CME Ether Futures. The custodian of both funds is Bank of New York Mellon, and each carries an expense ratio of 0.85%. This development comes after Bitwise announced that it will file amended registration statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for both ETFs. 🚀📈
