Key facts

  • Bitwise Asset Management has launched automated portfolios of tokenized US stocks.
  • The portfolios use Coinbase's tokenized stocks and are rebalanced by Glider.
  • Eligible non-US investors can hold the tokenized assets in their own non-custodial wallets.
  • Initial strategies include Mag7X, robotics, and AI leaders.
  • The total market value of tokenized listed stocks is $2.49 billion.
  • Bitwise Asset Management has introduced new automated portfolios featuring tokenized US stocks from Coinbase. These portfolios are designed for eligible investors outside the United States, enabling them to follow specific investment strategies while retaining self-custody of their assets in non-custodial wallets. The system utilizes Coinbase's recently launched tokenized stocks, with Glider managing the automatic rebalancing to align with Bitwise's model portfolios.
