Bitwise Plants Its Flag In ETF Staking With Chorus One Buyout
Crypto asset manager Bitwise has acquired staking infrastructure firm Chorus One, which manages over $2.2 billion in assets across dozens of blockchain networks. The deal brings 50 employees into Bitwise's onchain division and expands its staking services to more than 30 proof-of-stake networks, including Solana, Avalanche, and Sui. While financial terms were undisclosed, the acquisition positions Bitwise to capitalize on staking as a key growth opportunity, especially as the SEC warms to crypto investment products like ETFs that may offer staking rewards. Bitwise, which already manages $15 billion in assets and runs over 40 investment products, including its Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, continues to expand beyond its core ETF offerings.
