Bitwise has launched the Bitwise Canton ETP, a new exchange-traded product designed to track CC, the native token of Canton Network.
The product is listed on Deutsche Börse Xetra under the ticker BWCC, with ISIN DE000A4ARTH9 and WKN A4ARTH. According to Bitwise, the ETP seeks to track the Kaiko CANTO Reference Rate LDNLF index, net of its 0.85% annual management fee.
The launch gives traditional investors a regulated, exchange-traded route to gain exposure to Canton Network without needing to hold the token directly or use a crypto wallet. Bitwise said BWCC is fully backed by CC tokens held in cold storage and can be bought and sold through a regular brokerage account.
Canton Network is described by Bitwise as a privacy-enabled blockchain purpose-built for capital markets. The network allows financial institutions to issue, trade, and settle assets digitally while keeping transaction details private. Unlike public blockchains where all activity is visible to everyone, Canton is designed so parties only see, validate, and record the parts of transactions relevant to them.
Bitwise said Canton was developed with participation from institutions including Goldman Sachs, BNP Paribas, Deutsche Börse, and Broadridge. The firm positioned the ETP as part of its broader European crypto ETP suite and said the launch reflects growing investor interest in regulated digital asset infrastructure.
Bradley Duke, Managing Director and Head of Europe at Bitwise, said the product gives investors “convenient, exchange-traded access” to the Canton ecosystem through a regulated ETP structure. He pointed to Canton’s focus on privacy, interoperability, programmability, and institutional compliance requirements.
The product launch comes as tokenisation continues to gain attention across financial markets. Bitwise said CC plays a role in Canton Network governance and operations, with its value tied to adoption and growth across the ecosystem.
Bitwise also noted that crypto-linked products carry significant risks, including market, liquidity, custody, volatility, and regulatory risk. The firm said investors may not recover the amount invested and should review the relevant product documents before making an investment decision.
