Bitwise targets AAVE, UNI, SUI, and 8 other tokens in what could be the largest altcoin ETF filing wave yet.
Bitwise Asset Management has filed with the SEC for 11 new altcoin strategy ETFs, marking one of the most expansive attempts to bring regulated crypto exposure to U.S. investors.
On December 30, 2025, Bitwise submitted registration statements to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for 11 cryptocurrency strategy ETFs. The targeted tokens include Aave (AAVE), Zcash (ZEC), Uniswap (UNI), Hyperliquid (HYPE), Sui (SUI), Starknet (STRK), NEAR Protocol (NEAR), Bittensor (TAO), Ethena (ENA), Canton (CC), and TRON (TRX).
Each ETF would hold up to 60% of assets directly in the underlying cryptocurrency, with at least 40% allocated to exchange-traded products, futures, or swaps tracking the same asset. The products are designed to trade on NYSE Arca if approved, with a tentative effective date of March 16, 2026.
This filing signals a new phase in institutional crypto adoption. Rather than filing for standalone altcoin ETFs one at a time, Bitwise is proposing an entire family of products built around a shared strategy template.
The move follows a wave of altcoin ETF approvals in 2025, including products for Solana, XRP, Hedera, and Litecoin. Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan has previously predicted that more than 100 crypto ETFs and exchange-traded products could launch in the U.S. in 2026 as regulatory clarity improves.
March 16, 2026 is the tentative launch date, though fees and tickers remain undecided. The SEC review process typically takes 45 to 75 days for initial feedback. Approval would give U.S. investors regulated access to a broad cross-section of the altcoin market, potentially unlocking billions in institutional capital for these tokens.
This is a developing story as the SEC begins its review process. The outcome could reshape how traditional investors access the altcoin market.
The DeFi lending protocol faces internal conflict over brand control and fee allocation, triggering a whale sell-off while founder Stani Kulechov buys the dip.
Bitwise submits SEC applications for ETFs covering AAVE, UNI, SUI, NEAR, and seven other altcoins, targeting March 2026 launch.
