The new listing offers institutional and retail investors regulated, exchange-traded exposure to both the price performance of Avalanche’s native AVAX token and the yield generated through network staking—without the operational complexities traditionally associated with on-chain participation.
This marks Bitwise’s fifth staking-focused ETP in Europe and reinforces the firm’s strategy of bridging digital assets with traditional financial infrastructure. The product is fully backed, issued in Germany, and structured as a debt security, aligning with the regulatory expectations of institutional capital allocators.
Staking Rewards, Simplified
At the core of the offering is the CF AVAX Staked Return Index, which serves as the benchmark for the ETP’s total return performance. Staking rewards accrue daily and are net of a total expense ratio (TER) of 0.85% per annum, with an expected net staking yield of 4.83%*. Investors gain access to this yield stream while benefiting from professional custody—tokens are held in cold storage by an institutional-grade custodian—and daily liquidity through standard securities accounts, eliminating the need for self-custody or crypto wallets.
“Staking is the crypto equivalent of earning dividends,” said Bradley Duke, Head of Europe at Bitwise. “With the Bitwise Avalanche Staking ETP, we’re delivering a familiar, regulated wrapper that lets investors capture both price appreciation and staking income through a single, transparent instrument listed on a major European exchange.”
Avalanche’s Institutional Appeal
Avalanche has emerged as a leading Layer-1 blockchain, distinguished by its high throughput, sub-second finality, and energy-efficient consensus mechanism. Its architecture allows enterprises to deploy custom, interoperable blockchains—making it a compelling choice for tokenization initiatives in finance, payments, real-world assets, and digital collectibles.
John Wu, President of Ava Labs, welcomed the ETP launch: “Bitwise is helping open the door for traditional investors to engage with Avalanche in a way that feels familiar to them. Access through established market structures provides another path into the ecosystem, where developers are building high-performance applications across finance, payments, real-world assets, and beyond.”
Building on Momentum
The new ETP follows the success of Bitwise’s Ethereum Staking ETP (ET32), which recently surpassed $300 million in assets under management—a testament to growing institutional appetite for yield-generating crypto exposures delivered via regulated vehicles.
For European investors, the Bitwise Avalanche Staking ETP represents a significant step toward mainstream adoption: it combines the growth potential of a top-tier blockchain with the convenience, safety, and transparency of a listed security. As digital asset infrastructure matures, such products are likely to play a pivotal role in broadening participation beyond the crypto-native community.
