Bitwise Eyes Crypto Options Income ETFs in Bold Market Expansion
Bitwise is making waves in the digital asset space with plans to launch a new lineup of crypto options income ETFs, according to Odaily and Bloomberg analyst James Seyffart.
In a recent post on X, Seyffart revealed that Bitwise has filed applications for three innovative exchange-traded funds designed to generate income through options strategies tied to top cryptocurrencies. The proposed ETFs include:
Bitwise Bitcoin Option Income Strategy ETF
Bitwise Ethereum Option Income Strategy ETF
Bitwise BITQ Option Income Strategy ETF
These ETFs aim to offer investors a way to tap into crypto market returns while mitigating volatility through options-based income generation. The Bitcoin and Ethereum funds will focus on derivatives linked to the two largest cryptocurrencies, while the BITQ Option Income Strategy ETF is connected to the Bitwise Crypto Industry Innovators ETF (BITQ)—a fund that tracks thematic stocks in the blockchain and crypto space.
The move signals Bitwise’s growing focus on diversified crypto investment products tailored for a more risk-conscious investor base. As traditional finance increasingly intersects with digital assets, income-focused strategies like these could appeal to those seeking yield in a high-growth sector without direct exposure to spot crypto volatility.
While regulatory approval is pending, Bitwise’s latest filings suggest a clear trend: crypto-based ETFs are rapidly evolving beyond simple exposure plays into sophisticated, income-generating tools.
