Bitwise Asset Management European head Bradley Duke talked with Proactive about Bitcoin’s recent price movements and the company’s latest product launch.
Duke discussed the volatility of Bitcoin, noting both its tailwinds—such as increased demand from corporate investors and national reserves—and the headwinds, including US tariff policy and geopolitical uncertainties. He pointed out that institutional investors are shifting away from US Treasuries due to uncertainty, turning instead to alternative safe-haven assets like gold.
The conversation then shifted to Bitwise’s latest product, Bitwise Diaman Bitcoin & Gold ETP (BTCG), which launched today on Euronext in Paris and Amsterdam. Duke explained that the product is a collaboration with Diaman Partners, part of asset manager Azimut. The ETP dynamically allocates between Bitcoin and gold based on an index that considers drawdowns and recovery rates.
"We’ve looked at the performance of this index versus the S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, and gold alone, and it has outperformed considerably," said Duke. He emphasised that while past performance is no guarantee of future results, the product arrives at a time when institutions are actively seeking alternative safe-haven assets.
