Bitwise researcher sees over 100 crypto ETPs launching in 2026

A Bitwise researcher predicts that over 100 new crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs) will launch in 2026 as the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) refines its guidelines for the sector, Cointelegraph reported. Ryan Rasmussen of Bitwise Research stated that the market will see a surge of diverse products, including spot, index, equity-linked, and smart beta ETPs. He noted that this marks a significant shift from the past, when investors had only two or three options. Rasmussen likened the future ETP landscape to a restaurant with an extensive menu, offering dozens or even hundreds of choices.
