【Blockchain Rhythm】Asset management firm Bitwise has partnered with Proficio Capital Partners to launch a new inflation-hedging ETF product (ticker: NYSE: BPRO), which is also the first of its kind in the market to adopt an active management strategy.

The investment approach of this fund is very clear—focusing on traditional safe-haven assets and cryptocurrencies such as gold, Bitcoin, and silver to hedge against inflation risks. Especially Bitcoin and silver, which have been regarded as important asset allocation tools by institutional investors in recent years.

Interestingly, this indicates that more and more traditional asset management institutions are beginning to recognize the role of Bitcoin in modern investment portfolios. From being purely speculative assets to now being incorporated into formal ETF frameworks, this shift reflects the increasing acceptance of crypto assets within mainstream financial systems. For investors looking to diversify assets to cope with inflationary pressures, this undoubtedly presents a new option.

Bearish outlook, but institutional bottom-fishing for Bitcoin can indeed change the game [Thinking] Bitwise's move is basically paving the way for retail investors to get on board. Don't be fooled by the "mainstream" label. Gold, silver, and Bitcoin bundled for sale? Wake up, this is just a way to harvest retail investors' profits, just with a more respectable disguise. Asset management giants entering the market = market bottom? I don't think so. The top priority is to guard against the pitfalls set by the big players. Honestly, looking at this allocation makes me more cautious. Too much active management can easily lead to behind-the-scenes manipulation. The inflation hedging narrative has been heard so many times it’s numb, but the key still depends on where the technical support levels are.

Wow, finally major institutions are taking Bitcoin seriously, no longer treating us as mere retail investors to be exploited. Now it's stable, gold, Bitcoin, and silver bundled for sale. With institutions in the market, how low can it go? Bitwise's move is truly brilliant—an actively managed inflation-hedging product. It was about time someone did this. Capital has finally awakened, and we early adopters can finally hold our heads high. From speculative assets to mainstream portfolio holdings, we've been waiting for this transformation for too long. Institutional recognition is a huge positive, and the coins in our hands are becoming more valuable again haha.
