This filing expands Bitwise’s U.S. lineup beyond its existing Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana staking and equity‑based products. The suite represents a coordinated, rules‑based approach to bringing a broader set of altcoins into regulated markets.

$DASH (per request) Pump and dump above and back below the 99smma. Not a good sign. Likely to sell off further. https://t.co/6cz5uBrHxc

$NPC (per request) Another dead altcoin chart and is that a head and shoulders? https://t.co/lGfJqww4xf
