Bitwise Asset Management is exploring the tokenization of fund shares through a partnership with fintech firm Superstate. The Bitwise Solana Staking ETF (BSOL) has been identified as the potential first candidate for this initiative.

The project focuses on recordkeeping, allowing investors to choose between traditional book-entry ownership via The Depository Trust Company or blockchain-based ownership through Superstate’s transfer-agency system. Under this framework, tokenized shares would maintain the same economic and voting rights as traditional shares without creating a separate security.

Bitwise has clarified that this is a development effort rather than a finished product. The implementation remains subject to legal and regulatory requirements, with no guarantee that a tokenized option will launch or a specific timeline for the capability.
