Bitwise has entered the Swedish market by listing seven physically backed crypto exchange-traded products on Nasdaq Stockholm, expanding regulated access to digital assets for local investors.

Bitwise is growing its presence in Europe by listing new physically backed crypto ETPs on Nasdaq Stockholm, giving Swedish investors wider access to regulated digital asset investments.

The listings were announced by Nasdaq on Jan. 14, marking Bitwise’s first ETP launch on the Stockholm exchange and its official entry into one of Europe’s most active crypto ETP markets.

Expanding access for Swedish investors

All seven ETPs are traded and settled in Swedish kronor. This makes it easier for both retail and institutional investors to gain crypto exposure using traditional brokerage accounts, without turning to overseas platforms.

Nasdaq said the new products add depth to its growing range of digital asset investments, focusing on transparency and cost efficiency. In recent years, the exchange has become an important venue for crypto ETPs in Europe, especially in the Nordic region, where demand for regulated products has remained strong.

Bitwise said the launch reflects its intention to work more closely with local investors. The firm added that the products are built to meet institutional requirements for custody, reporting, and compliance. According to Bitwise, Sweden stands out as a market where crypto ETPs are already well understood and widely used.

Product lineup and strategies

The new lineup includes single-asset ETPs, staking-focused products, and diversified baskets. Among them are the Bitwise Physical Bitcoin ETP and the Bitwise Core Bitcoin ETP, the latter designed for long-term investors with a lower fee structure.

Investors can also access Ethereum through a physical Ethereum ETP as well as an Ethereum staking product that incorporates on-chain rewards. A Solana staking ETP has also been listed by Bitwise, indicating growing interest in yield-generating cryptocurrency strategies. 

The Diaman Bitcoin Gold ETP, which offers exposure to both Bitcoin and gold in a single product, and the MSCI Digital Assets Select 20 ETP, which tracks a basket of significant digital assets, are also included in the range.Since all ETPs are physically backed, the underlying cryptocurrency assets are not referenced through derivatives but rather are kept in custody. 

A crowded and competitive market

Over the past year, the Nordic crypto ETP market has seen a rise in competition. Several issuers have launched new products on Nasdaq Stockholm, covering assets such as Bitcoin, Solana, XRP, and tokens linked to artificial intelligence themes.

Bitwise enters the market with more than $15 billion in assets under management worldwide and a steadily growing presence in Europe. The company said the Stockholm listings are part of a wider plan to broaden access to crypto investments within regulated markets.

With institutional demand in Europe holding firm, Nasdaq Stockholm is expected to remain a key venue for new crypto ETP launches throughout 2026.
