“Bitwise is likely just catering to things they’re hearing from clients and potential clients,” mentioned James Seyffart, ETF analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence. “They have an actively managed division within Bitwise, so it makes sense to give it a try. We know there are investors looking to invest in bitcoin but who want to limit the volatility and particularly the downside volatility/drawdowns. I think that’s what this will aim to do. Whether or not it will be successful is something we will learn in the coming years, but timing the market is extremely hard.”
