Bitwise Files for Uniswap ETF

Digital asset firm Bitwise has filed a registration statement for a Uniswap ETF with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The proposed fund will track the performance of Uniswap's native token, UNI, signaling growing institutional interest in the DeFi space.

Product Details and Future Outlook

According to the filing, the initial version of the Bitwise Uniswap ETF will not include staking features.
