Bitwise To Explore Tokenizing Bitwise Solana Staking ETF (BSOL) With Superstate; Other ETFs May Follow
August 13, 2026-Bitwise Asset Management, a global crypto asset manager, today announced a partnership with Superstate, a financial technology firm that partners with issuers and asset managers to bring securities onchain, to develop the capability for shares of certain Bitwise funds to be held in tokenized form.
Under the framework the firms are developing, tokenization would change only the form in which share ownership is recorded. Investors would continue to purchase the same shares of the applicable fund, with the same rights, through the same channels as today. Shareholders could then elect to hold those shares either in traditional book-entry form through The Depository Trust Company or in tokenized form recorded on a blockchain and maintained through Superstate's transfer agency infrastructure. Shares held in tokenized form would carry rights identical to shares held in book-entry form and would not be freely transferable outside that recordkeeping system.
