Bitwise Launches Canton Network-Based Fund in Europe
- Bitwise has expanded its basket of exchange-traded products in Europe.
- The company has launched a fund based on Canton (CC).
- It is a layer-1 blockchain specialised for institutional clients.
- It is traded on Deutsche Börse Xetra under the ticker BWCC.
Bitwise has announced the launch of the new Bitwise Canton ETP on Deutsche Börse Xetra. The product is designed to provide investors with direct exposure to Canton (CC), the blockchain’s native token.
As a reminder, Canton Network is a public layer-1 blockchain focused on institutional clients. The network combines privacy with compliance requirements and high scalability. The project is governed by the Canton Foundation, with major financial institutions participating as validators.
Bitwise Canton ETP is intended to provide direct exposure to the CC coin amid growing participation by major counterparties in this ecosystem. The provider will track the asset’s value using the Kaiko CANTO Reference Rate LDNLF benchmark.
Bradley Duke, Managing Director and Head of Bitwise Europe, noted that the new fund is an addition to the basket of cryptocurrency ETFs in Europe.
“The Canton network stands out as a blockchain platform built from the ground up for global financial markets, combining privacy, interoperability and programmability in a way specifically designed to meet institutional compliance requirements. As the tokenisation of financial assets continues to gain momentum, Canton’s infrastructure positions it as a significant player in digital financial markets,” he said.
According to the official website, the product trades under the ticker BWCC. Total assets under management already amount to $120,000. At the same time, the company has set a relatively low fee of 0.85%.
It should be noted that this is not the only exchange-traded fund based on the coin. There are two more products from 21Shares — Canton Network ETP and Canton Network ETF in Europe and the United States, respectively. Their fees are even lower.
Bitwise also plans to launch an ETF based on the HYPE coin of the Hyperliquid network. The asset previously reached a new all-time high, partly amid an inflow of institutional capital.
