Bitwise is the first to act on the SEC’s rule change, though analysts say it’s a backend fix, not a retail breakthrough. The US Securities and Exchange Commission’s recent decision to let crypto ETF issuers swap Bitcoin and Ether directly for fund shares represents a structural upgrade, not a retail revolution, analysts say.
