Bitwise to launch Bitcoin and Treasury bond rotation strategy ETF (BITC)
According to Coindesk, Bitwise announced on Friday the launch of the Bitwise Trendwise Bitcoin and Treasury Rotation Strategy ETF (BITC), which combines the Bitwise Bitcoin Strategy Optm Roll ETF (BITC), the Bitwise Ethereum Strategy ETF (AETH) and the Bitwise Bitcoin and Eth Eq Wgh Str ETF (BTOP). Bitwise said in a statement that the launch of spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs earlier this year made futures-based crypto funds less attractive to investors seeking long-term capital appreciation. With the new fund, asset managers can rotate between 100% exposure to crypto futures contracts and 100% exposure to U.S. Treasury bonds based on market trends, thereby better managing volatility in the crypto market. Bitwise is converting its three futures-based ETFs into a single ETF, and the conversion is expected to take place on December 3.
