Bitwise Files for First Aptos ETF, Boosting Institutional Interest
Bitwise has filed to launch the first-ever Aptos ETF, aiming to provide investors with exposure to the value of Aptos (APT). The SEC's approval timeline remains uncertain, but the filing signals growing institutional interest in Aptos.
The Bitwise Aptos ETF, managed by Bitwise Investment Advisers, LLC, will track the CF Aptos-Dollar Settlement Price, calculated by CF Benchmarks Ltd. If approved, it would be the first ETF linked to Aptos, making it easier for investors to gain exposure to the cryptocurrency.
Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley confirmed the S-1 registration filing on October 4, 2025, expressing excitement about the Aptos ecosystem's momentum. The Aptos community and the broader crypto market are eagerly awaiting the SEC's decision.
Aptos has recently seen a major uptick in developer activity, leading to significant growth among top blockchain projects. The ETF will issue shares representing fractional ownership in the trust's Aptos holdings, with the annual management fee yet to be specified.
The potential approval of the Bitwise Aptos ETF could open up new investment opportunities in Aptos, further boosting the cryptocurrency's profile in the institutional investment landscape.
