Bitwise Asset Management filed a request with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on February 18 for approval to launch a new set of exchange-traded funds related to the outcome of future U.S. elections.

According to the filing, the new “PredictionShares” ETFs are set to be listed on NYSE Arca and will be based on binary event contracts related to the 2028 presidential election and the 2026 Senate and House of Representatives elections. Each fund would pay out if a specific party wins and lose all value substantially if the opposite outcome occurs.

A post by journalist Eleanor Terrett states that Bitwise Asset Management has joined Roundhill Investments in filing for new exchange-traded funds related to political prediction markets.

Bitwise Faces Potential Regulatory Scrutiny

The six ETFs proposed to be listed on NYSE Arca include individual funds for Democratic and Republican wins in the presidential, Senate, and House of Representatives elections. Each ETF would invest at least 80% of its assets in political event contracts listed on exchanges regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).

“The fund’s investment objective is to provide capital appreciation” in the event of a win by a specified party, according to the filing. Nevertheless, the prospectus also cautions that a loss of “substantially all” invested capital is possible if the predicted outcome does not occur.

According to Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart, Roundhill Investments has filed for similar ETFs in the past, indicating an increasing level of competition in the burgeoning market for the financialization of prediction politics.

If approved, the products would represent one of the first attempts to package political event contracts inside a traditional ETF wrapper, further expanding the financialization of prediction markets.

These new ETFs would be one of the first to package political event contracts within a traditional ETF structure, further financializing the prediction market industry.

Wormhole Jumps 11% on Revised Tokenomics and Reserve Initiative

Wormhole Jumps 11% on Revised Tokenomics and Reserve Initiative

The post Wormhole Jumps 11% on Revised Tokenomics and Reserve Initiative appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Cross-chain bridge Wormhole plans to launch a reserve funded by both on-chain and off-chain revenues. Wormhole, a cross-chain bridge connecting over 40 blockchain networks, unveiled a tokenomics overhaul on Wednesday, hinting at updated staking incentives, a strategic reserve for the W token, and a smoother unlock schedule. The price of W jumped 11% on the news to $0.096, though the token is still down 92% since its debut in April 2024. W Chart In a blog post, Wormhole said it’s planning to set up a “Wormhole Reserve” that will accumulate on-chain and off-chain revenues “to support the growth of the Wormhole ecosystem.” The protocol also said it plans to target a 4% base yield for governance stakers, replacing the current variable APY system, noting that “yield will come from a combination of the existing token supply and protocol revenues.” It’s unclear whether Wormhole will draw from the reserve to fund this target. Wormhole did not immediately respond to The Defiant’s request for comment. Wormhole emphasized that the maximum supply of 10 billion W tokens will remain the same, while large annual token unlocks will be replaced by a bi-weekly distribution beginning Oct. 3 to eliminate “moments of concentrated market pressure.” Data from CoinGecko shows there are over 4.7 billion W tokens in circulation, meaning that more than half the supply is yet to be unlocked, with portions of that supply to be released over the next 4.5 years.
