Bitwise Registers ETF for AVAX

Bitwise Asset Management registered the Bitwise Avalanche ETF in Delaware on September 5, 2025, targeting investment in Avalanche’s native token, AVAX.

The registration represents Bitwise’s effort to attract institutional capital to the Avalanche ecosystem amidst a challenging market environment.

The Bitwise Avalanche ETF was registered in Delaware on September 5, 2025. This move signifies Bitwise Asset Management’s plan to introduce a regulated investment product centered on AVAX, the native token of Avalanche.

Bitwise Asset Management spearheaded the registration, highlighting its interest in AVAX. The absence of direct quotes from the company’s leadership, such as CEO Hunter Horsley, leaves formal commentary unconfirmed at this time.

The registration aims to channel institutional capital towards Avalanche. There appears to be no direct market impact, with AVAX’s price at the filing being $24.32 against a wider market backdrop.

While similar ETF filings have historically bolstered market liquidity and asset legitimacy, specific shifts in AVAX’s total value locked or on-chain activity weren’t documented following this announcement.

Past single-asset ETFs for BTC and ETH have previously enhanced their market uptake and stature. AVAX, ranked as the 23rd largest crypto asset, follows Grayscale and VanEck’s similar ETF efforts.

The ETF’s introduction could steer financial flows towards Avalanche, although immediate regulatory or market responses remain unobserved. Historical trends from other single-asset ETFs suggest potential for increased asset recognition and investment traction.
