This Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) 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 the websites and online services (the “Service”). This Policy applies to all entities within the Bitwise group, including our U.S., Cayman Islands, Guernsey, Switzerland and EU/UK subsidiaries and any other relevant location. This Policy 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 Asset Management Inc. and its subsidiaries and affiliates each act as independent data controllers for the personal information they collect and process, except where specific processing activities are conducted jointly. In such cases, the roles and responsibilities of each entity are governed by a separate Joint Controller Arrangement in accordance with Article 26 of the EU, UK GDPR, Section 33 of the Guernsey GDPR and the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) and the Swiss Data Protection Ordinance (as applicable).
For purposes of this Policy, “personal information” includes information that may be referred to as “personal data” under certain applicable laws.
Bitwise Asset Management, Inc. provides centralized 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 collects personal information through (including but not limited to the following):
When you visit the Service, we and our third-party service providers receive and record information on our server logs from your browser, including your IP address, and from cookies and similar technology. Our service providers may collect information about your online activities over time and across different online services.
We work with analytics providers who may use cookies and similar technologies to collect and analyze information about the use of the Service and report on activities and trends. These providers may also collect information regarding the use of other websites, apps, and online resources. One of the service providers that we use for data analytics is Google Analytics.
For additional information please see Section 12 (Cookies and Tracking Technologies).
By using the Service, you are authorizing us to gather, parse, and retain data related to the provision of the Service.
Depending on your location and the nature of our relationship with you, we process your personal data under one or more of the following legal bases: the performance of a contract; compliance with a legal obligation; our legitimate interests (e.g., internal administrative purposes, network security, or fraud prevention); your consent, where applicable.
Each Bitwise entity is responsible for identifying and documenting its own legal basis for processing, as required by law.
We use personal information (including but not limited) to:
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.
For U.S. customers of Bitwise Asset Management, Inc., our information-sharing practices (including any sharing with affiliates) are described in our Annual Privacy Notice, which will control in the event of any inconsistency.
In addition, we may share any information that we receive through the Service with vendors and service providers retained in connection with the provision of the Service, including our payment processors, auditors, credit reference agencies, and other vendors for data analytics purposes.
International data transfers
When transferring personal information across borders, including from the EU/UK, Switzerland or Guernsey to the United States, such transfers are carried out in compliance with applicable data protection laws. Where required, Bitwise relies on appropriate safeguards for international transfers, such as the Standard Contractual Clauses adopted by the European Commission and, where applicable, the UK International Data Transfer Addendum, the Guernsey Addendum and the EU Standard Contractual Clauses as adapted for Switzerland, or other valid transfer mechanisms recognized under the Swiss FADP to legitimize such transfers (or other valid transfer mechanisms recognized under applicable law). . Data subjects may request access to the relevant safeguards.
We use reasonable technical, administrative and physical measures to protect information contained in our system against unauthorized access, destruction, misuse, loss or alteration. Unfortunately, the internet cannot be guaranteed to be 100% secure, and we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you provide to us.
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Policy, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Retention period is mostly based on our Group Data Retention Policy, and it varies depending on the type of information and the context in which it is processed.
We may access, preserve, and disclose your information and/or other account information or content if we believe doing so is required or appropriate to: (i) comply with law enforcement requests and legal processes, such as a court order or subpoena; (ii) enforce this Policy or other agreements; (iii) respond to your requests; or (iv) protect your, our, or others’ rights, property, or safety.
If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, financing due diligence, reorganization, bankruptcy, receivership, sale of assets, or transition of service to another provider, then your information may be sold or transferred as part of such a transaction as permitted by law and/or contract. The use of your information following any of the foregoing events will be governed by the provisions of the Policy in effect at the time Bitwise collected such information. We may also share your information within our group of companies, where permitted by applicable law and, for U.S. customers of Bitwise Asset Management, Inc., consistent with our Annual Privacy Notice.
We may also disclose your information with your permission.
We do not share personal information with third parties for their direct marketing use. Where you choose to receive marketing communications from us, we may send you information about Bitwise products, services, events and updates (including from our affiliates within the Bitwise Group). You can withdraw your consent or opt out of marketing communications at any time by following the unsubscribe link in our emails or by contacting us using the contact details provided at the end of this Policy.
Some web browsers incorporate a “Do Not Track” feature. Because there is not yet an accepted standard for how to respond to Do Not Track signals, our website does not currently respond to such signals. However, we remain committed to respecting your privacy and complying with applicable data protection laws.
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. If we learn of a security system’s breach, we may attempt to notify you electronically by posting a notice on the Service or sending an email to you. You may have a legal right to receive this notice in writing. To receive free written notice of a security breach (or to withdraw your consent from receiving electronic notice), please notify us using the contact details provided at the end of this Policy.
We use cookies and similar technologies to enhance your experience on our Service. You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings.
If you block cookies, the performance of the Service may be impaired, and certain features may not function at all.
Where required by law (for example, on websites operated by the EU and UK subsidiaries), additional details about the cookies used and how you can manage your preferences are provided in the relevant Cookie Policy of the applicable Bitwise entity. Please refer to the Cookie Policy for the specific Bitwise website or service you are accessing for more information on the cookies we use and your rights in relation to such cookies.
Our Service may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these websites. Please read their privacy policies before submitting information.
We may anonymize and aggregate any of the personal information we collect about you (so that it does not directly identify you). We may use anonymized information for purposes that include testing our IT systems, research, data analysis, improving the Site and our services and developing new products and features. We may also share such anonymized information with others.
Our website and Service are not directed to, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals where such collection is restricted by applicable law (for example children under 13 in the United States and, where applicable, children under 16 in certain jurisdictions).
If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal data from a child without appropriate consent, we will take steps to delete such information as soon as reasonably possible. If you believe that a child has provided us personal information, please contact us and we will take steps to delete such information consistent with applicable law.
Our Service is accessible globally. Regardless of where you are located, we are committed to protecting your personal data in accordance with this Policy and applicable laws. If local laws in your jurisdiction provide you with additional rights or require specific notices, we will comply with those obligations when applicable.
We may update this Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
Depending on your location, and subject to applicable law, we are required to provide, and you may be entitled to exercise, certain rights in relation to your personal information. These rights may vary by jurisdiction and by context in which we process your information. Examples of rights that may be available (subject to conditions and limitations under applicable law) include, but not limited to:
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. For more information or to exercise your rights, please contact us (or contact our EU/UK/Swiss representative, where applicable) using the contact details provided at the end of this Policy.
Certain U.S. state privacy laws provide residents with specific rights regarding their personal information. To the extent these laws apply to our processing of personal information, we will provide the rights and disclosures required by applicable law and honor verified requests in accordance with such law.
We may permit others to link to our Service or to post a link to their site on ours. We do not endorse these sites and are not responsible for other sites or their privacy practices. Please read their privacy policies before submitting information.

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.
