Bitwise Asset Management announced today it filed to convert its Bitcoin and Ethereum futures ETFs into trend-following strategies that will rotate between crypto and US Treasuries exposure based on market conditions.
As detailed, three of Bitwise’s crypto futures ETFs, including the Bitwise Bitcoin Strategy Optimum Roll ETF (BITC), the Bitwise Ethereum Strategy ETF (AETH), and the Bitwise Bitcoin and Ether Equal Weight Strategy ETF (BTOP), will respectively become the Bitwise Trendwise Bitcoin and Treasuries Rotation Strategy ETF, the Bitwise Trendwise Ethereum and Treasuries Rotation Strategy ETF and the Bitwise Trendwise BTC/ETH and Treasuries Rotation Strategy ETF.
The proposed ETFs will adjust investment exposure based on market conditions, meaning that these funds will invest in crypto when they are trending upwards and rotate into US Treasuries during market downturns.
With the new Trendwise strategies, Bitwise aims to enhance risk-adjusted returns by capitalizing on market momentum while protecting investors during bearish market conditions.
“The new Trendwise strategies capitalize on that momentum through a trend-following strategy that rotates between crypto and Treasuries exposure based on market direction. The goal is to help minimize downside volatility and potentially improve risk-adjusted returns,” explained Bitwise.
The strategy utilizes a proprietary signal considering the 10- and 20-day exponential moving average (EMA) prices of crypto assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The conversion of ETFs is scheduled for December 3, 2024.
