Bitwise Asset Management announced on December 30, 2025, its filing for 11 new strategy ETFs with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), targeting altcoins such as ZEC, HYPE, and SUI.

This strategic move by Bitwise to expand its ETF offering in the crypto space shows investor interest in diversified altcoin portfolios and may increase market activity.

Bitwise Asset Management, led by Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan, is pursuing extensive ETF applications. The filings allocate 60% of assets in the cryptocurrencies AAVE, UNI, ZEC, CC, ENA, HYPE, NEAR, STRK, TAO, TRX, and 40% in ETPs.

Matt Hougan, Chief Investment Officer, Bitwise Asset Management, “Bitwise is excited to continue to pioneer ETF strategies that include a diverse range of cryptocurrencies as we believe these assets will play a significant role in the future of finance.”

The filings intend to offer products that directly manage allocations among volatile assets. Key players involved in this filing include Bitwise leaders; however, public statements from the company’s executives or the founders of ZEC, HYPE, or SUI have not been noted.

The market impact of such filings can affect altcoin visibility and potentially influence trading and investment strategies. Bitwise’s attempt is part of a growing interest in regulated exposure models seen with prior launches such as Solana ETFs.

Despite the comprehensive nature of Bitwise’s applications, regulatory approvals remain pending. The expanding ETF space may encounter oversaturation as noted by analyst warnings, potentially leading to market adjustments.

Paul Atkins, Chair, U.S. SEC, “Our reviews are intensifying as we consider the implications of these new financial products within our regulatory framework.”

Experts suggest the inclusion of derivatives to adjust exposure optimizes risk management. Continued industry adaptation to regulatory requirements is expected, which may streamline future ETF approvals.
