Our take
Bitwise is the biggest cryptocurrency index fund manager in the world. The company buys up currencies that look promising, allowing people who are interested but wary to gain a little exposure to crypto without in-depth knowledge or major time investment.
This approach seeks to make cryptocurrency more accessible, which has rapidly attracted investors. It specializes in supporting and educating professional investors, and boasts relationships with RIAs, financial advisors and hedge funds alike.
The cryptocurrency market is still viewed as high-risk and volatile (many would say fairly), 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.
