Bitwise Launches Actively Managed Bitcoin–Gold ETF
Bitwise this week debuted an actively managed ETF that mixes Bitcoin with gold and select mining equities, marking a deliberate effort to fuse crypto exposure with traditional safe-haven instruments. By blending BTC, precious metals and miners within a single fund structure, the product is pitched at investors seeking diversified, capital-preservation allocations rather than a pure-play crypto bet. The launch reflects how asset managers are increasingly packaging digital assets inside broader macro strategies.
Active management gives Bitwise discretion to shift allocations as market and macro conditions evolve, which could appeal to institutions wary of standalone crypto volatility. The structure may also influence flows into Bitcoin and related mining stocks, but investors should note it is not identical to holding BTC directly and will carry fund fees and manager risk. Overall, the ETF is another sign of crypto’s steady integration into mainstream portfolio construction.
