The SEC has approved Bitwise to list its new ETF that holds both Bitcoin and Ethereum on NYSE Arca on an accelerated basis.

The Bitwise Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF from Bitwise Asset Management would seek to provide investors with a balanced exposure to the two digital assets, weighted by their market capitalization. The structure of the fund will be similar to existing ETFs that hold either Bitcoin or Ether directly.

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has approved a key part of an application for a new exchange-traded fund (ETF) that would track Bitcoin and Ethereum, the two largest cryptocurrencies.

The US Securities and Exchange Commission has granted initial approval to the “Bitwise Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF.”

The Bitwise fund's asset allocation reflects market capitalization proportions, comprising 83% Bitcoin and 17% Ethereum.

Bitwise's product, launched with the New York Stock Exchange, gives investors exposure to both spot bitcoin (BTC) and ethereum (ETH), weighted by market capitalization. NYSE Arca filed a 19b-4 form with the SEC last November.

The US Securities and Exchange Commission on Thursday approved part of an application for a novel exchange-traded fund that would track the two largest cryptocurrencies.

The SEC has expedited the approval of Bitwise's combined $BTC and $ETH ETF, marking a stark contrast from the Gensler SEC's waiting period for approving similar offerings.
