đ Bitwise Makes a Splash in Spot Bitcoin ETF Race with $200 Million Seed Fund
As the race for approval of Spot Bitcoin ETFs intensifies, asset manager Bitwise is emerging as a strong contender, potentially surpassing even the giant BlackRock in seed funds for their respective ETFs.
Bitwise's Bitcoin ETF Gains Momentum:
In a recent amendment to its S-1 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Bitwise revealed a substantial development. An investor has expressed interest in seeding Bitwise's ETF with a whopping $200 million upon launch. This move, as highlighted by Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas, significantly outpaces BlackRock's initial seed fund of $10 million, describing it as a "huge help" for Bitwise in the early stages of the competition.
Early Advantage in the Race:
The simultaneous potential approval of multiple ETF applications by the SEC makes this sizable seed fund a strategic advantage for Bitwise. Creating $200 million worth of shares allows Bitwise to be well-positioned to meet client demands from the outset, potentially giving it a head start in the ETF race.
Strategic Move for Public Interest:
Bitwise has been assertive in its intention to lead the way from the start, evident in its Bitcoin ETF commercial. The $200 million seed fund not only positions Bitwise favorably among competitors but also generates early interest and establishes it as a preferred choice among investors before the official launch.
AP Mystery and Strategic Silence:
Interestingly, Bitwise did not disclose the authorized participant (AP) for its ETF in the filing. The AP acts as a crucial intermediary between the ETF investor and issuer, responsible for creating and redeeming ETF shares.
