Bitwise Expands Presence in Nordics
  • Crypto specialist asset manager with USD 15 billion in client assets is introducing SEK-denominated ETPs for Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and diversified crypto exposure.
  • The listing of seven ETPs on Nasdaq Stockholm represents a targeted expansion of Bitwise’s presence in the Nordic region.
  • Local leadership: Marco Poblete and Andre Havas appointed Regional Directors for the Nordics.
  • Tax-advantaged investing: SEK-denominated products enable ISK account eligibility for Swedish investors.

Bitwise announces the listing of seven of its crypto ETPs on Nasdaq Stockholm, marking a strategic expansion in the Nordic markets. The listings give Swedish investors access to exchange-listed crypto exposure through regulated products denominated in Swedish kronor (SEK). The company has appointed Marco Poblete as Regional Director for the Nordics to lead Bitwise’s expansion across Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland, alongside Andre Havas. Poblete has been working in the crypto ETP industry since 2018. Havas brings over 25 years of experience from the traditional asset management industry.

The new SEK-denominated trading lines may enable Swedish investors to access crypto exposure via ETPs through ISK accounts and established broker platforms (e.g., Avanza, Nordnet and certain banks), subject to instrument and platform eligibility. Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and may change.

Bradley Duke, Head of Europe at Bitwise, said: “The Nordic region represents one of Europe’s most sophisticated and crypto-forward investment markets. Our Nasdaq Stockholm listing brings institutional-quality products directly to Nordic investors in their local currency, aim to provide the transparency and security features they expect. We’re committed to building a long-term presence in Sweden and to being a reliable partner for investors seeking regulated access to crypto.”

Marco Poblete, Regional Director for the Nordics at Bitwise, said: “Nordic markets represent the gold standard for democratized investing, with sophisticated investors who value education and transparency. We’re keen to establish a permanent presence in the Nordics to become a committed, long-term partner to Nordic institutions.”

The newly listed ETPs on Nasdaq Stockholm are:

Bitwise’s Nordic strategy emphasizes education-first engagement, with office hours for investment professionals, a variety of educational programs, and planned partnerships with Swedish financial advisors and institutions. The company will host a formal listing ceremony at Nasdaq Stockholm on 21 January, bringing together platform partners, institutional investors, and media.

In August 2025, Bitwise announced client assets had surpassed $15 billion across its suite of 40 investment products across the U.S. and Europe, an increase of 200% compared to October 2024. The Nordic expansion follows successful recent launches on the London Stock Exchange and SIX Swiss Exchange, as part of a broader European growth strategy initiated with the acquisition of ETC Group in August 2024.

Investors can buy and sell Bitwise ETPs the same way as stocks or ETFs through a securities account, subject to platform availability, without the need for a crypto trading account on a separate platform or a blockchain wallet
