This Privacy Notice (the ‘Notice’) outlines how Bitwise Asset Management, Inc. and its affiliates and subsidiaries (‘Bitwise’, ‘we’, ‘us’ or ‘our’) collect, use, disclose and protect personal information obtained through their websites and, where applicable, any online services they provide. This Notice applies to all entities within the Bitwise group, including our US, Cayman Islands, Guernsey, Switzerland and EU/UK subsidiaries and any other relevant location, and includes, following its acquisition by Bitwise Asset Management, Inc., Bitwise Onchain Solutions AG (Zug, Switzerland).
Where provisions of this Notice apply only to specific Bitwise entities or websites, this is indicated as follows:
Bitwise Asset Management and Bitwise Onchain Solutions denotes provisions that apply exclusively to Bitwise Asset Management, Inc., Bitwise Onchain Solutions Limited and Bitwise Onchain Solutions AG, and their respective products and services. Bitwise Onchain Solutions AG (Zug, Switzerland) and Attestant BVI Limited (British Virgin Islands) provide blockchain infrastructure, staking, and validator node services within the Bitwise Onchain Solutions group. Where those services involve the processing of personal data, the relevant entity processes such data in its capacity as a data controller, independently or jointly with other Bitwise entities as applicable. References to ‘Bitwise Onchain Solutions’ in this Notice refer collectively to those entities.
Bitwise Europe denotes provisions that apply exclusively to Bitwise Europe and the bitwiseinvestments.eu website. For the purposes of this Notice, ‘Bitwise Europe’ refers collectively to Bitwise Europe GmbH (Frankfurt am Main, Germany), Bitwise Europe Limited (Guernsey, Channel Islands), and Bitwise Europe Management Limited (London, United Kingdom), each of which may act as an independent or joint data controller in respect of the processing activities described in this Notice.
All other provisions apply across the Bitwise group as a whole.
Bitwise Asset Management and Bitwise Onchain Solutions This Notice is incorporated by reference into the Bitwise Terms of Service (the ‘Terms’). Any defined terms used and not defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Terms.
Bitwise Europe For the purposes of this Notice, references to the ‘Service’ in respect of Bitwise Europe mean the Bitwise Europe website at bitwiseinvestments.eu (the ‘Site’). This Notice is incorporated by reference into the Bitwise Europe Terms of Website Use.
Bitwise Asset Management, Inc. and its subsidiaries and affiliates each act as data controllers for the personal information they collect and process. Where specific processing activities involve the joint determination of purposes and means by two or more Bitwise entities – in particular in the context of centralised functions operated by the parent company – the relevant entities act as joint controllers in accordance with Article 26 of the EU and UK General Data Protection Regulation (‘GDPR’), Section 33 of the Data Protection (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Law 2017 (‘Guernsey GDPR’), and as jointly responsible controllers under the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (‘FADP’) and the Swiss Data Protection Ordinance, as applicable. In such cases, the roles and responsibilities of each entity are governed by a separate Joint Controller Arrangement (‘JCA’). The substance of this arrangement is available upon request by contacting us using the details set out in Section 22 below.
For purposes of this Notice, ‘personal information’ includes information that may be referred to as ‘personal data’ under certain applicable laws.
Bitwise Asset Management, Inc. provides centralised privacy governance, policies, and tools for the Bitwise group. However, each entity within the group is responsible for ensuring its own compliance with applicable privacy laws and fulfilling its own obligations as a data controller.

Bitwise Asset Management and Bitwise Onchain Solutions Where we process data relating to criminal offences or PEP status, we do so only to the extent required by, and under the authority of, applicable anti-money laundering and financial services legislation.

Bitwise Asset Management and Bitwise Onchain Solutions
Bitwise Europe
Depending on your location and the nature of our relationship with you, we process your personal data on one or more of the following grounds:
Each Bitwise entity is responsible for identifying and documenting its own legal basis for processing, as required by applicable law.
Intra-Group and Third-Party Data Sharing
To facilitate our global operations, personal information may be shared among Bitwise entities, where permitted by applicable law and depending on the relationship and services involved. This sharing is conducted in accordance with applicable data protection laws and our internal policies to ensure adequate protection of your personal information.
Where Bitwise entities act as joint controllers for specific processing activities, they have put in place a Joint Controller Arrangement (JCA) which allocates responsibilities between the parties, in particular as regards the handling of data subject rights requests, breach notification, and the maintenance of a valid legal basis for processing. The substance of this arrangement is available upon request by contacting us using the details set out in Section 22 below.

We ensure that all third-party service providers who process personal data on our behalf are subject to appropriate contractual arrangements consistent with applicable data protection law.
International Data Transfers
Where we transfer personal data from the EU, UK, Guernsey or Switzerland to the United States (i.e. to Bitwise Asset Management, Inc.), such transfers are carried out on the basis of Standard Contractual Clauses adopted by the European Commission (Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/914). The applicable module depends on the nature of the processing activity: where Bitwise Asset Management, Inc. acts as an independent data controller in respect of the relevant data, Module 1 (controller-to-controller) applies; where Bitwise Asset Management, Inc. processes data solely on our instructions, Module 2 (controller-to-processor) applies.
The applicable transfer mechanism depends on the jurisdiction from which data is transferred:
Where Bitwise Asset Management, Inc. processes personal data solely on the instructions of and on behalf of Bitwise Europe Limited or another Bitwise Europe group entity or a Bitwise Onchain Solutions entity (for example, in connection with the operation of shared infrastructure or group-wide systems), such transfers are carried out on the basis of Standard Contractual Clauses, Module 2 (controller-to-processor), as supplemented where applicable by the transfer addenda set out above.
Bitwise Asset Management, Inc. is currently not registered under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.
Transfers of personal data from Bitwise Asset Management, Inc. to its subsidiaries are made in accordance with data minimisation and access control principles. Where required by applicable law, equivalent safeguards apply to such onward transfers.
Data flows between EU, UK, Guernsey and Swiss entities are governed by the applicable data protection frameworks (EU GDPR, UK GDPR, Guernsey GDPR, and the Swiss FADP and Data Protection Ordinance respectively).
You may request access to, or a copy of, the relevant transfer safeguards by contacting us using the details set out in Section 22 below.
Transfers to third-party service providers
Where personal data is transferred to recipients located outside the United Kingdom, European Economic Area, or Switzerland, Bitwise relies on the following transfer mechanisms to ensure that such transfers are carried out in accordance with applicable data protection law.
You can verify current certifications under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework at www.dataprivacyframework.gov. Copies of any Standard Contractual Clauses relied upon by Bitwise are available upon request by contacting us using the details set out in Section 22 below.
We use reasonable technical, administrative, and physical measures to protect personal information contained in our systems against unauthorised access, destruction, misuse, loss, or alteration. Our security measures include, amongst other things:
Bitwise Asset Management, Inc. holds ISO 27001 certification for information security management, reflecting our commitment to maintaining a robust security posture.
No method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. We cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you provide to us.
In the event of a personal data breach likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify the competent supervisory authority without undue delay and, where required under applicable law, will also notify affected data subjects, in accordance with our obligations under applicable data protection law.
By using the Service or providing information to us, you agree that we may communicate with you electronically regarding security, privacy, and administrative issues relating to your use of the Service. You may have a legal right to receive such notice in writing. To receive free written notice of a security breach (or to withdraw your consent to receiving electronic notice), please contact us using the details provided in Section 22 below.
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this Notice, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Retention periods are based on our Group Data Retention Policy and vary depending on the type of information and the context in which it is processed.
Individual legal, regulatory, or contractual obligations applicable to each group entity may require adjustment to these periods. Where multiple retention requirements apply, the longest applicable period shall prevail.
We may access, preserve, use, and disclose your information where required or permitted by applicable law, or where we reasonably believe such action is necessary to: (i) comply with applicable law, legal process, or legally binding requests from public authorities; (ii) enforce our agreements, terms, or policies; (iii) respond to your requests; or (iv) protect the rights, property, or safety of you, us, or others.
If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, investment, financing, reorganisation, bankruptcy, sale of assets, or other corporate transaction, your personal information may be disclosed or transferred to the relevant successor entity or prospective purchaser where permitted by applicable law. Such entity will process your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Notice or will provide you with notice of any material changes where required by applicable law.
We may also share your personal information within our corporate group for internal administrative, compliance, operational, and other legitimate business purposes, where permitted by applicable law. For US customers of Bitwise Asset Management, Inc., such disclosures are also subject to our Annual Privacy Notice.
We may also disclose your information with your permission.
We do not share your personal information with third parties for their own direct marketing purposes. Where you have chosen to receive marketing communications from us, we may send you information about Bitwise’s products, services, events, and updates, including, where separate consent has been obtained from you, information about products and services offered by companies within the Bitwise group. You may withdraw your consent at any time (where marketing is based on your consent) or otherwise opt out of receiving marketing communications by using the unsubscribe link included in our marketing emails or by contacting us using the contact details provided in Section 22 of this Notice. Withdrawal of your consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.
We use cookies, tracking pixels and similar technologies on our websites, services and, where applicable and you have explicitly consented, in emails we send to you. These technologies may be used for essential functionality, security and strictly necessary service delivery, as well as for analytics, measuring email delivery or engagement, personalisation, advertising and marketing.
Where consent is required by applicable law, we will not use non-essential technologies – including tracking pixels used to measure individual email opens or engagement, personalise communications, profile recipients, or support advertising or marketing – unless you have first provided valid consent. You may refuse or withdraw that consent at any time without losing access to the Service or, where applicable, without stopping the underlying emails.
You can manage website technologies through the Cookie Settings on the relevant Bitwise website. Where an email contains tracking technologies, information about those technologies and a means of managing or withdrawing your tracking preference will be provided when your email address is collected and/or through a clearly accessible link in the email. Browser or email-client settings may also restrict certain technologies but may not provide complete control.
Further information – including the technologies used, their purposes and applicable legal bases – is provided in the Cookie Policy.
Some web browsers offer a ‘Do Not Track’ (DNT) feature. Because there is no universally adopted standard requiring websites to respond to DNT signals, our websites do not currently respond to such signals. Where applicable law requires us to recognise or honour other browser-based privacy preference signals, we will do so in accordance with those legal requirements. We remain committed to respecting your privacy and complying with applicable data protection laws.
We may anonymise personal information that we collect so that the resulting information no longer identifies, and cannot reasonably be used to identify, you or any other individual. We may also aggregate information for statistical and analytical purposes.
We may use anonymised and aggregated information for purposes including testing and improving our IT systems, research, data analysis, improving the Service and our products and services, and developing new products, services, and features.
We may also disclose or share anonymised and aggregated information with third parties, provided that such information does not identify, and cannot reasonably be used to identify, any individual.
Our website and Service are not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children where such collection is restricted by applicable law, including children under the age of 13 in the United States and children below the applicable age of digital consent in jurisdictions where such restrictions apply.
If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child without any required consent or other valid legal basis, we will take reasonable steps to delete such information as soon as reasonably practicable, unless we are required by applicable law to retain it. If you believe that a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us using the contact details provided in this Notice so that we can investigate and, where appropriate, delete the information in accordance with applicable law.
Our Service is accessible globally. We are committed to protecting your personal data in accordance with applicable data protection laws and the principles described in this Notice.
Where the laws of your jurisdiction provide you with additional rights, impose specific obligations, or require additional notices, we will comply with those requirements as applicable.

Where required by applicable law, we will provide additional notice of material changes, including where such changes significantly affect how we collect, use, disclose, or otherwise process your personal data.
We encourage you to review this Notice periodically to stay informed about how we protect your personal data.
Our Service may contain links to, or allow third parties to link to, websites or services that are operated independently from us. We do not control and are not responsible for the content, security, or privacy practices of such third-party websites or services.
Any personal information you provide to a third party will be processed in accordance with that third party’s privacy notice and applicable terms. We encourage you to review the privacy notice of any third-party website or service before submitting personal information.
Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have certain rights in relation to your personal information. The rights available to you may vary by jurisdiction and by the context in which we process your information. Examples of rights that may be available (subject to applicable conditions, exceptions, and limitations) include:
These rights are subject to conditions, exceptions, limitations, and verification requirements under applicable law. We may need to verify your identity and/or authority before responding to your request.
For more information or to exercise your rights, please contact us (or our EU, UK, or Swiss representative, where applicable) using the contact details provided in Section 22 of this Notice.

This website is operated by Bitwise Europe GmbH (“Bitwise”, “we”, “us”). The information on this website is intended for UK retail clients and other visitors in the United Kingdom. If you are not in the UK, local laws and rules may differ and the materials here may not be appropriate for you.
All content is provided for general information only. It does not constitute investment advice, tax or legal advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any investment and must not be relied upon to make an investment decision. You should consider whether an investment is suitable for your circumstances and, where appropriate, seek independent professional advice.
Cryptoassets and crypto-linked products are high-risk. The FCA categorises retail crypto promotions as Restricted Mass Market Investments (RMMI). As such, additional prominence, risk-warning and risk-summary requirements apply to retail communications. You could lose all the money you invest.
Investments in cryptoassets or many crypto-linked products are generally not covered by the UK Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) or the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS). You should not expect to be protected if something goes wrong.
Access to certain pages, features, or transactions may be subject to client categorisation and appropriateness assessments required by FCA rules. We may ask you to complete checks or declarations before you can proceed.
Where this website contains a retail financial promotion for crypto or other RMMIs, you will see the FCA-prescribed risk warning and a link (“Take 2 mins to learn more”) to the FCA risk summary presented in a pop-up or dedicated page. For convenience, you can access that summary here at any time.
Where performance is shown, past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results. Any projections, targets, or forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain and may not be realised. Fees and expenses reduce returns.
Returns may be reduced by fees, charges, spreads, and taxes. Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and may change. Seek professional advice if unsure.
Where a prospectus (including any base or supplemental prospectus) or KID/PRIIPs KIID or equivalent is provided, it is regulatory disclosure, not marketing. Those documents are generally outside the UK financial-promotion restriction.
In line with FCA rules for high-risk investments, we do not offer incentives to invest (e.g., refer-a-friend bonuses, monetary/non-monetary perks) in relation to retail crypto promotions.
External links are provided for convenience only. We do not control and are not responsible for third-party websites or their content. We take reasonable care to ensure accuracy but do not guarantee completeness, timeliness, or availability of the website or its contents; information may change without notice.
Our products or services may not be available in all jurisdictions or to all investors. Access may be restricted by law. You are responsible for understanding and complying with applicable laws and regulations.

Les produits d’investissement domiciliés en Europe et présentés sur ce site sont des Exchange Traded Commodities (« ETC »), instruments financiers considérés comme des titres de créances complexes par l'Autorité des Marchés Financiers, présentant des risques difficilement compréhensibles par le grand public. À ce titre, leur distribution en France répond à des règles spécifiques. Il relève de la responsabilité des intermédiaires et investisseurs professionnels souhaitant offrir des ETCs à leurs clients de s'assurer que leur distribution auxdits clients est réalisée dans le respect de la réglementation française.
The information provided in this advertising material is for informative purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, a recommendation or solicitation to conclude a transaction.
This website and all documentation and other information provided on or via it (all together this “website”) is issued by Bitwise Europe GmbH (“BEU” or the “Issuer”). This website is provided for illustrative, educational and information purposes only and may be subject to change.
Where this website constitutes an advertisement within the meaning of Article 22 of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129, as amended (the “Prospectus Regulation”) or Regulation 3 of the Public Offers and Admissions to Trading Regulations 2024, and the relevant offer or admission to trading is subject to an obligation to draw up a prospectus, the applicable prospectus has been or will be published and is or will be available in the Resources section of the Bitwise Europe website at bitwiseinvestments.eu/resources/.
Bitwise Europe GmbH, Thurn- und Taxis-Platz 6, 60313 Frankfurt am Main, Germany, registered with the commercial register of the local court of Frankfurt am Main under HRB 116604, is the issuer of Exchange Traded Products (“ETPs”) described in this website under an applicable base prospectus approved by BaFin, or, where applicable, another competent authority, as supplemented from time to time, and the applicable final terms. Final terms are published and filed with the relevant competent authority in accordance with applicable law and are not subject to approval. The relevant product documentation identifies the competent authority that approved the applicable prospectus.
Approval of a prospectus means that the competent authority has scrutinised it against the applicable standards of completeness, comprehensibility and consistency, and it does not constitute an endorsement or recommendation of the Issuer or the ETPs. If you are considering investing in products issued by BEU you should check with your broker or bank that such products are available in your jurisdiction and suitable for your investment profile. A decision to invest any amount in an ETP offered by BEU should take into consideration your specific circumstances after seeking independent investment, tax and legal advice.
You should read the relevant base prospectus, any supplements and the applicable final terms before investing and, in particular, the section entitled “Risk Factors” for further details of the risks associated with an investment. Where required, you should also read the key information document under Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (PRIIPs), the product summary under the Consumer Composite Investments (Designated Activities) Regulations 2024 or the equivalent product disclosure applicable in your jurisdiction. The prospectuses, supplements, final terms, key information documents and other regulatory documents relevant to BEU’s ETPs are available electronically and free of charge in the “Resources” section of the Bitwise Europe website at bitwiseinvestments.eu/resources/.
Access to those documents is not conditional on completion of a registration process, on any country or investor-type selection, on acceptance of the Terms of Website Use or of any disclaimer limiting legal liability, or on payment of a fee, in accordance with Article 21(4) of the Prospectus Regulation or the FCA Handbook, Prospectus Rules. Warnings specifying the jurisdictions in which an offer or an admission to trading is being made may be displayed in connection with certain content and are not disclaimers limiting legal liability.
Any country or investor-type selection used on this website determines which marketing content may be displayed. It does not itself constitute a formal regulatory client classification, an assessment of appropriateness or suitability, confirmation of legal eligibility to invest, or investment advice.
Information contained in this website does not constitute, and under no circumstances is to be construed as, an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy securities, or any other step in furtherance of a public offering, in the United States or Canada, or any state, province or territory thereof, where neither the Issuer nor its products are authorised or registered for distribution or sale and where no prospectus of the Issuer has been filed with any securities regulator. Neither this website nor information in it should be taken, transmitted or distributed (directly or indirectly) into the United States.
In the UK, this website is provided for information purposes only, and is in any event provided in accordance with the exemption to the requirement, set out under section 21 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, that communications relating to invitations or inducements to engage in investment activity be approved by a person authorized by the Financial Conduct Authority. As such, this website is directed only at persons who fall within a relevant exemption to the restriction on financial promotions as set out in the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Financial Promotion) Order 2005, such as: investment professionals (Article 19); high net worth individuals (being individuals who have an annual income of at least £100,000 and / or net assets of at least £250,000) (Article 48); high net worth companies, unincorporated associations etc. (Article 49); sophisticated investors (being individuals with a current appropriate certificate stating that they are sufficiently knowledgeable to understand the risks associated with this investment) (Article 50); self-certified sophisticated investors (being individuals who have: worked in the past two years in a professional capacity in the private equity sector or in the provision of finance for small and medium enterprises; been a director of a company turning over at least £1 million annually in the last two years; made two or more investments in an unlisted company in the last two years; or been a member of a network or syndicate of business angels for more than six months) (Article 50A); and associations of high net worth or sophisticated investors (Article 51).
Persons who do not fall within a relevant exemption should not access, or otherwise rely or act on this website, rather they should instead proceed to the Private Investor version of the website. By accessing this website, you confirm that you fall within a relevant exemption. Neither the Issuer nor its products are authorised or regulated by the UK Financial Conduct Authority, and the content of this promotion has not been approved by an authorised person within the meaning of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000. Reliance on this promotion for the purpose of engaging in any investment activity may expose an individual to a significant risk of losing all of the property or other assets invested. For further information or any other enquiry regarding the matters to which this website relates, you may contact us at eu-legal@bitwiseinvestments.com.
Social media communications, including posts on LinkedIn and X, (all together “Social Media”) may constitute advertisements, financial promotions, investment recommendations within the meaning of Regulation (EU) No 596/2014, the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 or other regulated communications depending on their content and the jurisdiction in which they are communicated. Unless expressly stated otherwise, they are not intended to constitute investment advice or a personal recommendation.
BEU makes all reasonable efforts to ensure that the information contained in documents and on Social Media is accurate and reliable; however, errors may occur. To the extent permitted by applicable law, documents and materials available on Social Media are provided without any express or implied warranties as to accuracy, validity, timeliness or completeness. Nothing in this paragraph excludes or limits any statutory or regulatory responsibility or liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including obligations applicable to advertisements or financial promotions and liability relating to a prospectus or other regulatory disclosure.
Unless expressly endorsed or adopted by Bitwise Europe, comments expressed by members of the online community represent those persons’ own views and are not endorsed by Bitwise Europe.
An investment in an ETP backed by one or more cryptocurrencies, such as those issued by BEU, is dependent on the performance of the underlying cryptocurrency, less costs, but it is not expected to match the performance of the underlying asset precisely. Investing in ETPs also involves numerous risks including general market risks relating to underlying, adverse price movements, currency, liquidity, operational, legal and regulatory risks and investors should be prepared to lose some or all of the amount invested.
ETPs backed by cryptocurrencies are highly volatile assets and performance is unpredictable. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance. The market price of ETPs will vary and they do not offer a fixed income. The value of any ETP may be affected by exchange rates and the price movement of its underlying cryptocurrency(ies). This website may contain forward looking statements including statements regarding Bitwise Europe’s belief or current expectations with regards to the performance of certain asset classes. Forward looking statements are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions, and there can be no assurance that such statements will be accurate and actual results could differ materially from those indicated. You must not place reliance on forward-looking statements or any other similar information contained in this website.
Cryptocurrencies are highly volatile and are known for their extreme and rapid fluctuations in prices. While there may be potential for significant gains, you are at risk of losing part or all of your entire capital invested. The price of cryptocurrencies can fluctuate widely and, for example, may be impacted by global and regional political, economic or financial events, regulatory events or statements by regulators, investment trading, hedging or other activities by a wide range of market participants, forks in underlying protocols, disruptions to the infrastructure or means by which crypto assets are produced, distributed, stored and traded. Characteristics of cryptocurrencies and divergence of applicable regulatory standards create the potential for market abuse. The price of cryptocurrencies may also change due to shifting investor confidence in future outlook of the asset class.
For a detailed overview of risks associated with cryptocurrencies and specifically associated with BEU’s products, please refer to the prospectus and final terms, which are available in the “Resources” section of the Bitwise Europe website at bitwiseinvestments.eu/resources/. You should only invest if you are capable of understanding and evaluating the risks involved. If you are in doubt as to whether an investment is appropriate for you, you should consult an authorised person who specialises in advising on investments including crypto-backed ETPs.
