Bitwise has introduced Model Portfolio Solutions for Digital Assets, making them available across multiple billion-dollar advisory platforms.

The new offering provides financial advisors with seven professionally managed model portfolios designed to help clients access diversified cryptocurrency exposure through exchange-traded funds.

This development addresses a significant gap in the $645 billion model portfolio market, where advisors previously lacked structured options for navigating the expanding digital asset sector.

Comprehensive Portfolio Framework Addresses Growing Advisor Demand

The model portfolio market represents one of the primary channels through which financial advisors allocate assets for their clients. “Model portfolios are one of the most important ways financial advisors allocate to different assets,” according to the announcement.

Despite this market’s substantial size and influence on ETF flows, advisors have faced limited professionally managed solutions for cryptocurrency investments.

The company noted that “advisors have not had many professionally managed options to help them navigate the fast-growing crypto space.”

Bitwise’s new framework changes this dynamic by offering advisors a systematic approach to building crypto allocations.

The seven-model offering includes two distinct categories. Core portfolios deliver broad exposure to the cryptocurrency ecosystem through various investment vehicles. Meanwhile, thematic models concentrate on specific areas such as stablecoins and tokenization.

This structure allows advisors to match portfolio construction with individual client objectives and risk preferences.

As advisors weigh a growing number of cryptocurrency ETF options, “these models are designed to make it easy to build a crypto sleeve that’s tailored to their clients’ goals and preferences.” Bitwise maintains oversight through systematic monitoring and rebalancing procedures to control portfolio drift.

The portfolio options encompass different investment approaches to accommodate varying advisor and client needs. Some models focus exclusively on cryptocurrency assets, while others emphasize crypto-related equities.

Additional portfolios combine both asset types, providing blended exposure across the digital asset investment landscape.

Strategic Options Span Asset Classes and Investment Themes

The Bitwise Crypto Asset Portfolio employs market-cap weighting to deliver diversified cryptocurrency market exposure using spot crypto asset ETPs exclusively.

The offering aims to “offer diversified exposure to the crypto market using only spot crypto asset ETPs, giving investors direct exposure to the underlying crypto assets.”

Conversely, the Bitwise Crypto Equities Portfolio targets investors preferring exposure through publicly traded companies with traditional financial metrics.

The portfolio is “designed for investors who prefer owning real-world companies with revenues and earnings, as opposed to taking direct positions in the underlying spot crypto assets.”

The Bitwise Select Crypto Market Portfolio functions as the foundational offering, providing diversified exposure to major cryptocurrency assets and related equities while applying institutional risk screens.

For broader market coverage, the Bitwise Total Crypto Market Portfolio uses market-cap weighting across crypto investments and crypto-focused equity positions.

Thematic portfolios address specific cryptocurrency sectors and investment strategies. The Bitwise Select Stablecoin and Tokenization Portfolio targets “crypto assets and crypto-linked equities leading the growth of the stablecoin and tokenization ecosystems.”

The Bitwise Beyond Bitcoin Crypto Asset Portfolio serves investors seeking exposure to alternative cryptocurrencies.

It is “designed for investors who either already have significant bitcoin exposure or are looking to invest in crypto assets focused on ‘real-world use cases’ like stablecoins, tokenization, and decentralized finance.”

The models leverage “Bitwise’s eight-year track record in helping institutions and professional investors access crypto.”
