Bitwise has listed the Bitwise Avalanche Staking ETP (ticker: AVNB) on Deutsche Börse Xetra, offering regulated exposure to the performance of AVAX alongside staking rewards.
The fully collateralized ETP, issued in Germany, is designed to meet institutional standards and aims to provide a competitive alternative to existing AVAX staking solutions. It references the CF AVAX Staked Return Index, carries a 0.85% annual TER, and targets efficient daily accrual of staking returns with an expected net staking reward of 4.83%.
Product details and structure
The Bitwise Avalanche Staking ETP seeks to combine AVAX price exposure with staking yield in a single, exchange-traded wrapper. By tracking the CF AVAX Staked Return Index, the product enables investors to monitor performance against a market standard, net of costs and fees.
Built for institutional use, the ETP emphasizes transparent, regulated access to staking without the operational complexities typically associated with running validators or delegations.

Avalanche backdrop and executive commentary
Avalanche is a high-performance layer-1 blockchain based on the Avalanche Consensus Mechanism, enabling enterprises and institutions to launch purpose-built blockchains tailored for governance, compliance, and performance, while remaining connected to the broader crypto ecosystem.
Documented adoption has grown through pilots in areas such as tokenization, payments, and consumer-facing applications.
The launch marks the fifth product in Bitwise’s European Total Return ETP suite, which also includes the Bitwise Ethereum Staking ETP, recently surpassing $300 million in assets under management.
Staking allows token holders to validate transactions, contributing to network security and earning additional tokens as rewards—akin to dividends in equity markets—without investors needing to manage the technical aspects or token custody themselves.
Bradley Duke, Managing Director and Head of Europe at Bitwise, said:
We are excited to launch the Bitwise Avalanche Staking ETP, a total return product listed on one of the major European exchanges. Avalanche is today recognized as one of the leading layer-1 blockchains, known for scalability, energy efficiency and fast transaction finalization, and is driving adoption in sectors such as payments, tokenized treasuries, event ticketing and gaming. This new addition to our range of crypto solutions for institutional investors reflects the mission of Bitwise: to make digital assets increasingly accessible through high-quality, exchange-listed products. With the AVAX staking ETP, investors will have the opportunity to participate in the growth potential of this technology, benefiting from the solid experience of Bitwise and the assurances offered by a regulated and transparent structure.
John Wu, President of Ava Labs, added:
Bitwise is helping open the door to traditional investors, allowing them to interact with Avalanche in a way that feels familiar to them. Accessing it through established market structures provides an additional entry point into an ecosystem where developers are building high-performance applications for finance, payments, real-world assets and much more. We are pleased to support initiatives that help new participants engage with this technology and thus contribute to the growth of Avalanche.
