Bitwise launches crypto model portfolios on the Vise platform, now serving 135,000+ accounts.
Tech & Launches ·
Bitwise Asset Management has launched cryptocurrency model portfolios on the Vise platform, extending its reach to 135,000+ accounts. The move represents an expansion of Bitwise's distribution channels beyond traditional spot ETFs and tokenized funds, bringing its institutional-grade portfolio products to a broader advisory audience through Vise's technology infrastructure.
Bitwise operates as a San Francisco-based crypto-specialist investment firm focused exclusively on digital assets, distinguishing it from legacy wealth managers that spread resources across multiple asset classes. The firm's product ecosystem includes spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, tokenized funds such as its Crypto Carry Fund (which exceeded $120 million in deposits on Aave's Horizon platform), and staking-integrated products like BHYP on the New York Stock Exchange. Model portfolios on Vise allow registered investment advisors and wealth managers to deploy pre-constructed crypto allocations for their clients.
The significance of the Vise partnership lies in its potential to accelerate institutional adoption among mid-market advisory firms with limited in-house crypto expertise. However, details remain unclear regarding the specific portfolio construction, fee structure, asset allocation methodologies, or whether the 135,000+ accounts represent new users or existing Vise platform participants accessing the portfolios.
