First cryptocurrency index fund: The Bitwise 10 Crypto Index Fund
The creation of investment opportunities in crypto is a big challenge because the system is not similar to the traditional monetary system. Different indexes are already established in the traditional system but this investment opportunity concept is totally new for the crypto world. The year 2017 is a milestone in the case of investment opportunity in crypto with the initiation of the index for the rapid growth and increasing mainstream interest in cryptocurrencies. This was a groundbreaking development that reshaped the method of digital asset investing. Bitwise Asset Management is a leading crypto investment firm that first introduced the Bitwise 10 Crypto Index Fund. In history, this is the first marked launch of the crypto index fund. This landmark event represented a significant milestone in the evolution of cryptocurrency markets. Let's discuss this historic event today.
The idea of creating a cryptocurrency index fund stemmed from the growing recognition of the need for diversified exposure to digital assets. Traditional investors seeking to enter the crypto space faced challenges related to volatility and security. Bitwise saw an opportunity to address these challenges by offering a professionally managed investment vehicle that would provide broad exposure to the top cryptocurrencies while minimizing risk through diversification. In July 2017, Bitwise launched the Bitwise 10 Crypto Index Fund. It is the pioneer in the concept of a diversified cryptocurrency index fund. The fund aimed to track the performance of the top ten cryptocurrencies by market capitalization. The Bitwise 10 Crypto Index Fund offered several key features that distinguished it from traditional cryptocurrency investments.
The fund provided exposure to a diversified basket of cryptocurrencies. Major players like Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Ripple (XRP), Litecoin (LTC) etc were included. By investing in multiple cryptocurrencies, the fund aimed to reduce risk and volatility while capturing the potential upside of the broader cryptocurrency market. The fund's managers rebalance the portfolio regularly to maintain the target allocation of cryptos based on their market capitalization. Investors could purchase shares of the fund just like they would any other mutual fund or exchange-traded fund (ETF). Bitwise provided investors with transparency into the fund's holdings. The fund's holdings and fees were publicly available. The fund operated under the supervision of regulatory authorities and adhered to industry best practices for investor protection and transparency.
