Bitwise has listed today five of its main digital asset investment products on Borsa Italiana – ETFplus, professional segment, marking its debut on the Italian market after the 2025 listings on Euronext Paris and Amsterdam.
The initiative aims to facilitate institutional investors' access to a rapidly evolving crypto market and consolidates the manager's presence in one of the main European financial hubs, in a context of growing national attention towards regulated, transparent and EU-compliant instruments.
All the announced ETPs are fully guaranteed, provide offline custody (cold storage) at a digital asset specialized depository and include the possibility of reimbursement. The initiative aims to offer greater operational efficiency and institutional security, with differentiated commission structures depending on the underlying strategy.
The five ETPs listed on ETFplus
- Bitwise Core Bitcoin ETP (BTC1): TER 0.05% p.a. Designed for long-term investors seeking cost efficiency and benchmark reliability.
- Bitwise Physical Bitcoin ETP (BTCE): flagship product on Bitcoin, with over five years of track record. It offers exposure to Bitcoin traded on the stock exchange with cold institutional custody; TER 2.00% p.a.
- Bitwise Physical Ethereum ETP (ZETH): aims to offer exposure to Ethereum traded on the stock exchange with cold institutional custody; TER 1.49% p.a.
- Bitwise Diaman Bitcoin & Gold ETP (BTCG): replicates, net of commissions and expenses, the Diaman Bitcoin & Gold Index, which reflects an allocation between Bitcoin and gold defined by the index methodology.
- Bitwise MSCI Digital Assets Select 20 ETP (DA20): replicates, net of commissions and expenses, the MSCI Global Digital Assets Select Top 20 Capped Index, offering diversified exposure to the top 20 cryptocurrencies (about 90% of the total crypto market capitalization); TER 0.85% p.a.
We believe that Italy is an increasingly relevant market for investments in digital assets and the availability of our products on the ETFplus segment reflects the growing institutional interest in transparent, exchange-traded instruments operating within consolidated European regulatory frameworks. We believe that this listing will further strengthen our presence in the European market, while at the same time supporting professional investors who are looking for compliant ways to gain exposure to digital assets.
