A renewed regulatory window in the United States may set the stage for one of the busiest periods for digital-asset exchange-traded products, according to new commentary from Bitwise CIO.
The latest assessments suggest that the government’s reopening and upcoming legislative measures could trigger a surge in filings across the crypto sector, even as the broader market navigates one of its toughest periods of the year.
Bitwise glags a surge in single-asset and Index Crypto ETPs
Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan reported that the environment may accelerate the launch of new crypto ETFs. He estimated that the market has the potential to have over 100 releases with legislative backing, which he predicted in an interview on CNBC’s “ETF Edge. His remarks give expectations of extensive growth in both individual items and index-based items.
According to Bitwise CIO, the most probable trend might be the expansion of index crypto ETPs, which combine a collection of digital assets into diversified products. He called such products as those to have significant investor attention next year, as regulatory clarity opens up increased issuers to expand their products.
The statements come at a time when there is a high rate of expansion in online resources. Bitcoin dropped to below the $90,000 mark, the first time since April, having peaked at around $126,000 at the beginning of the month. Even though the market is declining, Hougan claimed that the company believes that index-linked structures will be one of the most noticeable features of the crypto investment market.
Solana staking ETF posts early decline after launch
The remarks by Hougan also noted the performance of the Solana Staking ETF by Bitwise, which was launched on October 28. The product follows the cost of Solana and bets almost all of its SOL on-chain to approve transactions, thereby acquiring constant returns that are reinvested back into the portfolio. Since launch, the ETF has declined by 27%, although it recorded a 9% rebound on Tuesday.
The fund, as the firm reports, only holds Solana and features a staking design similar to that of proof-of-stake networks, allowing it to earn interest. The strategy is an operational model that aims to direct staking rewards into the performance of the fund, rather than distributing them elsewhere.
Additionally, Hougan noted that the target audience for these products includes investors who intend to allocate a small portion of their portfolios to digital assets. He said these investors are not seeking to differentiate between assets such as Ethereum, Solana, or Bitcoin, but instead want access to broader market exposure through simplified packaged instruments.
Fundstrat’s Tom Lee identifies policy openness in Washington
During the same broadcast, Tom Lee, the research head of Fundstrat Global Advisors, stated that the existing tendencies in policy direction could be seen as a sign of openness to experimentation in crypto-related financial development. Lee credited this change to the indications of the Trump administration, which showed a more open attitude towards developing products in relation to digital assets.
His remark aligns with the broader picture of regulatory adaptations taking center stage in shaping the next chapter of the crypto market.
