Staking: Avalanche ETP adds to the Bitwise index-linked staking ETP suite, designed to offer streamlined exposure to staking rewards without the need to manage technical aspects.
Bitwise announces the launch of the Bitwise Avalanche Staking ETP on Deutsche Börse Xetra. The product provides regulated exposure to the performance of the AVAX native token, while also aiming at capturing staking rewards without the need for investors to manage the technical aspects of the process. The ETP is designed to meet the rigorous standards of institutional investors, and aims to provide a competitive solution compared to similar AVAX staking products.
Avalanche is a high-performance blockchain built on the Avalanche Consensus Mechanism, which enables enterprises and institutions to launch dedicated blockchains that can be tailored for governance, compliance, and performance requirements, while remaining connected to the broader crypto ecosystem. Adoption of Avalanche has grown in recent years, with publicly reported initiatives including tokenization or pilot projects across financial services, payments and consumer applications.
The ETP is fully backed and issued in Germany, designed to deliver efficient staking returns with a low total cost of ownership. Staking rewards accumulate daily. By referencing the CF AVAX Staked Return Index benchmark, the product enables investors to track its performance, net of costs and fees, against the market standard.

Bradley Duke, Head of Europe at Bitwise, said: “We’re incredibly excited to be launching the Bitwise Avalanche Staking ETP, which opens the door for investors to access exposure to price movements in AVAX coupled with staking rewards through an exchange-traded total return product. Avalanche is recognized as a leading layer-1 blockchain, known for its scalability, energy efficiency, and fast transaction finality, and is driving adoption across areas such as payments, tokenized treasuries, event ticketing, collectibles, and gaming. This addition to the Bitwise lineup of institutional-grade crypto investment solutions reflects our mission to make digital assets accessible through high-quality, exchange traded products. By bringing AVAX staking into the ETP format, we’re enabling investors to participate in its growth potential with the confidence of Bitwise’s expertise and the safeguards of a regulated, transparent product structure.”
John Wu, President of Ava Labs, said: “Bitwise is helping open the door for traditional investors to engage with Avalanche in a way that feels familiar to them. Access through established market structures provides another path into the ecosystem, where developers are building high-performance applications across finance, payments, real-world assets, and beyond. We welcome efforts that make it easier for new participants to connect with the technology and contribute to Avalanche’s growth.”
The Bitwise Avalanche Staking ETP is the fifth to be launched as part of Bitwise’s European Total Return product suite including the Bitwise Ethereum Staking ETP (ET32; ISIN DE000A3G90G9), which recently surpassed $300 million in invested funds. Staking is a way to generate additional returns for crypto asset owners, allowing token holders to help validate transactions on the respective network, contributing to its security and reliability. In return, they earn additional tokens – so called staking rewards—similar to how dividends work in equity markets. The Bitwise Avalanche Staking ETP offers investors a streamlined way to gain exposure to staking rewards without managing the technical aspects of staking or token custody directly. Additional benefits include daily liquidity and security stemming from cold storage of the tokens by a professional institutional custodian.
Investors can buy and sell Bitwise ETPs like stocks or ETFs through a securities account without the need for a new account or crypto wallet.
