14 January 2026. Stockholm: Bitwise today 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."

Before investing in crypto Exchange Traded Products ("ETPs"), potential investors should consider the following:

Potential investors should seek independent advice and consider relevant information contained in the base prospectus and the final terms for the ETPs, especially the risk factors. Diversification does not guarantee a profit or protect against a loss. ETPs issued by BEU are suitable only for persons experienced in investing in cryptocurrencies and risks of investing can be found in the prospectus and final terms available on www.bitwiseinvestments.eu. The invested capital is at risk, and losses up to the amount invested are possible. ETPs backed by cryptocurrencies are highly volatile assets and performance is unpredictable. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance. The market price of ETPs will vary and they do not offer a fixed income or match precisely the performance of the underlying cryptocurrency. Investing in ETPs involves numerous risks including general market risks relating to underlying, adverse price movements, currency, liquidity, operational, legal and regulatory risks.
