On December 30, 2025, Bitwise Asset Management filed applications with the U.S SEC covering 11 new cryptocurrency funds, indicating an aggressive move towards the altcoin markets. 

The submissions include a wide range of tokens, including DeFi giants such as AAVE and UNI, as well as layer-1 blockchains such as SUI and NEAR, and niche submissions such as privacy-centered ZEC and AI-based TAO, as institutional interest in regulated exposure to some alternatives to Bitcoin and Ethereum grows.

Bitwise Proceeded 11 Crypto ETFs Filings With SEC: Details

The suggested are Bitwise TAO, TRX, STRK, CC, UNI Strategy ETF, along with Bitwise AAVE Strategy ETF, ZEC Strategy ETF, ENA Strategy ETF, Bitwise Hyperliquid Strategy ETF, NEAR Strategy ETF, and SUI Strategy ETF

Both funds will invest 60% of the assets in direct cryptocurrency holdings and the rest 40% in current exchange-traded products (ETPs) or derivatives to maximize liquidity and meet regulatory mandates. Should they get approval, the effective date of these ETFs will be March 16, 2026.

This will enable the investors to get exposure to high-potential altcoins at the same time with risk. Therefore, the products will be attractive to both the retail and institutional investors to diversify their portfolios.

From The Market Point of View

These reports come after Bitwise approved Solana (SOL) and XRP ETFs in 2025, as this company has decided to expand the availability of altcoins in a now over $3 trillion-value cryptocurrency market.

There is a growing desire by institutional investors to have non-BTC/ETH exposure, and regulated ETF offer a safe channel to portfolio diversification. 

Bitwise surveys show that the demand for crypto-linked Exchange Traded Funds will require the launch of more than 100 new products in 2026, as it is a very dynamic market environment.

Why Investors Should Care?

• The introduction of Exchange Traded Funds in history has frequently caused short-term profits of 20-40% in the underlying tokens. 

• The new Bitwise ETFs give investors controlled access to altcoins, which were once hard to invest in safely. 

• Potential benefits of early adoption are indicated by community interest in such niche tokens as TRX, TAO, and SUI. 

• These have the potential to influence the future of the crypto market in 2026 as institutional and retail investors are increasingly interested in the emerging  offerings.

Bitwise Vision and Outlook

It will use this group of submissions to solidify its standing as an altcoin exchange-traded fund provider based on its success with XRP and SOL exchange-traded funds. This growth highlights the fact that the company plans to innovate regulated crypto products and serve institutional and retail demand.

Conclusion

The platform is creating a new era for the crypto market industry by providing controlled access to a wide variety of altcoins. These would democratize exposure to potential high-value digital assets and strengthen the position as a first mover in the emerging altcoin market as an asset manager.
