The new fund paves way for accredited investors and financial investors to gain exposure to the young but growing world of DeFi.
DeFi Crypto Index Fund
Bitwise is not a newcomer in creating crypto index funds. It is the creator of the Bitwise 10 Crypto Index Fund (OTCQX: BITW), one of the largest crypto index funds in the world with $800 million in assets under management (AUM).Matt Hougan, the chief investment officer for Bitwise Asset Management said “DeFi is the story of 2021.”
"The growth and activity in the market are incredible. Today there are decentralized trading venues handling over $30 billion in volume per month; automated lending programs making individual loans as large as $200 million; and the total estimated value of funds currently locked into DeFi-related contracts recently crossed $40 billion."The fund’s crypto holdings are rebalanced every month, screened for important risks, and weighted by market cap.
Fund allocation
The fund consists of nine initial constituents. Uniswap and Aave have weightings of more than 20% while Synthetix and Maker trail behind with weightings of 11.8% and 10.67% respectively.Compound, UMA, Yearn.Finance, Ox, and Loopring all weigh below 10%.
Anchorage Digital Bank, N.A., is the custodian of the Fund. Anchorage made history in January when it became the first federally chartered digital asset bank in the U.S. and it now has more than $5 billion in cryptoassets under custody.
Anchorage founder and president Diogo Monica said the DeFi sector is growing exponentially.
“DeFi is happening now, every day, and the growth is exponential. As the first national digital bank, we're here to enable its broader adoption as a qualified custodian. We're happy to enable more DeFi participation through Bitwise's new fund.”
Who oversees the Fund?
The Fund will be guided by Bitwise’s public methodology as well as an advisory council comprising experts in the DeFi sector.The five members of the council are Michael Anderson of Framework Ventures, Ben Forman of ParaFi Capital, Avichal Garg of Electric Capital, Aleks Larsen of Blockchain Capital, and Scott Lewis of DeFi Pulse.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
