Our take
Bitwise is the biggest cryptocurrency index fund manager in the world. The company buys up currencies that look promising and could store them for its investors. This allows people who are interested in investing but wary of cryptocurrency to gain a little exposure without in-depth knowledge or major time investment. Bitwise is therefore making cryptocurrency more accessible, and the number of investors is growing fast.
Bitwise offers Bitwise Asset Management, which provides index and beta crypto funds to investors. The firm specializes in supporting and educating professional investors, and it has relationships with RIAs, financial advisors, hedge funds, etc. The cryptocurrency market is often viewed as high-risk and volatile, so these relationships are a demonstration of the company’s established trust. This vote of confidence and connection with traditional financial companies is invaluable for Bitwise's future as a trusted partner.
