Bitwise has updated its filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for its spot Avalanche ETF. The revision changes the ETF's ticker symbol to BAVA and sets a sponsorship fee rate of 0.34%, currently the lowest among similar products. In comparison, VanEck's Avalanche ETF has a fee rate of 0.40%, and Grayscale's is 0.50%. The updated S-1 filing also states that the trust will be allowed to stake up to 70% of its AVAX holdings on Avalanche's proof-of-stake network to earn additional tokens. However, the issuer is considering deducting 12% of the proceeds as fees, with the remainder distributed to shareholders. Since competitors have not yet launched staking services, their fees are currently limited to sponsorship fees. Bitwise is also offering a full fee waiver for the first month on its initial $500 million in assets, aiming to position BAVA as the lowest-cost way for traditional investors to gain exposure to Avalanche and earn staking income.
