Bitwise Launches Innovative Strategy to Protect Investors Against Currency Depreciation

Bitwise announced the launch of a new ETF that offers investors robust protection against the ongoing depreciation of the global fiat currencies’ purchasing power. The fund, called the Bitwise Proficio Currency Devaluation ETF, debuted on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker BPRO, representing an innovative solution in the wealth management market.

The Challenge of Monetary Depreciation and the Need for Protection

The accelerated depreciation of currencies poses a growing threat to traditional investors. According to reports, since 2006, the purchasing power of the US dollar has decreased by 40%, reflecting decades of monetary erosion. This scenario worsens as US federal debt approaches $40 trillion, while interest payments on this debt are set to surpass $1 trillion in the next fiscal period. In this context, the search for defensive assets that preserve value becomes increasingly urgent for diversified portfolios.

Defensive Portfolio: Gold, Bitcoin, and Other Protection Assets

The BPRO was structured as an actively managed fund that concentrates its investments in assets widely recognized for their ability to withstand the effects of monetary depreciation. The portfolio includes physical gold, Bitcoin, silver, diversified precious metals, and mining company stocks. These assets act as natural barriers against excessive currency issuance and growing budget deficits, providing investors with an additional layer of wealth protection against macroeconomic risks.

Innovative Structure with Indirect Exposure to the Crypto Market

The implementation of the fund occurs in strategic collaboration with Proficio Capital Partners, a respected manager overseeing approximately $5 billion in assets. A distinctive feature of BPRO is that, although it does not invest directly in cryptocurrencies, it can gain significant exposure to the sector through investments in structured crypto products (ETPs). This approach offers traditional investors access to the potential of digital assets while maintaining the regulation and security expected of exchange-listed products, making it a smart alternative for those looking to diversify their holdings against monetary depreciation.
