The landscape of cryptocurrency advertising is witnessing a significant shift with Bitwise Asset Management spearheading the campaign for Bitcoin ETFs. This change comes at a time when the U.S. is on the cusp of potentially approving a spot bitcoin ETF, an event eagerly anticipated by many in the crypto community.
Jonathan Goldsmith’s Involvement
Jonathan Goldsmith, an actor renowned for his portrayal of the “Most Interesting Man in the World” in Dos Equis beer ads, is at the forefront of this new advertising wave. Goldsmith’s recent appearance in a short video advertisement marks a notable foray into the world of cryptocurrency promotion. In the ad, Goldsmith intriguingly ties the concept of ‘interesting’ with Bitcoin, drawing attention to the evolving and dynamic nature of the cryptocurrency.
Bitwise’s Strategic Move
As anticipation builds for the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to approve the launch of a spot bitcoin ETF, Bitwise Asset Management has strategically positioned itself as a pioneer in this advertising domain. The firm, awaiting SEC approval for its own spot bitcoin ETF, contrasts itself with larger entities like BlackRock by emphasizing its specialization and long-standing involvement in offering crypto ETF products.
Bitwise’s Current Offerings
Bitwise currently offers several products in the crypto ETF space, including the Bitwise Bitcoin and Ether Equal Weight Strategy ETF (BTOP) and the Bitwise Bitcoin Strategy Optimum Roll ETF (BITC), both futures-based products.
