About this ETF
The Bitwise Avalanche ETF (BAVA) is designed to track the daily price movements of Avalanche (AVAX) while also generating supplementary AVAX through staking rewards. Avalanche itself is a high-performance blockchain platform, specifically designed to empower developers to build and deploy decentralized applications efficiently. Operating as a passively managed fund, BAVA achieves direct exposure to AVAX by holding the cryptocurrency itself. Its Net Asset Value (NAV) is determined by referencing the CME CF Avalanche-Dollar Reference Rate New York Variant. A core strategy of the fund is to leverage staking protocols, which are crucial for validating and securely recording transactions on the blockchain. These protocols involve cryptocurrency owners, often through a custodian, validating block transactions to ensure their accuracy. In this process, AVAX is 'staked' – essentially locked within the network as collateral – which, in turn, offers the opportunity to create and earn additional AVAX. BAVA retains the option to stake a portion or all of its held AVAX. For transparency, both the fund's NAV and the percentage of AVAX currently staked are updated and published daily on its official website.
