But for now, Bitwise has not given up, joint ventures with Abra, which is the crypto wallet provider, to unveil its own token with an objective to customize new avenue for the investors with more exposure to the crypto market.

The token is termed as “Bitwise 10 Crypto Index Token or Bit10”. The specialized fund would be comprised of top 10 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization and weighted on a regular basis (MoM).

The token most likely to be designed to resemble in the Bitcoin structure, while the clients can make an access into the top 10 cryptos through from Abra platform. Thereby, the investor class can stay invested into the major portion of the crypto market.
