GSR Markets has entered the asset management space with its inaugural exchange-traded fund, marking a strategic expansion into regulated digital asset products. Trading under ticker BESO on Nasdaq, the fund provides exposure to three prominent cryptocurrencies. This launch enables investors to track bitcoin, ether, and solana performance through conventional brokerage platforms in a unified investment product.
Active Management Approach Targets Bitcoin and Ether Positioning
GSR Markets brought the Crypto Core3 ETF to Nasdaq, offering combined bitcoin and ether exposure within a single fund structure. Portfolio managers utilize active strategies, making weekly allocation adjustments informed by proprietary research indicators. The fund operates with a 1% annual management fee while pursuing enhanced performance through systematic portfolio modifications.
The ETF recognizes bitcoin’s position as a macro-level asset within cryptocurrency markets. Ether exposure captures the blockchain infrastructure powering decentralized applications and stablecoin ecosystems. According to GSR, “The fund allocates actively across the three assets and rebalances weekly based on research-driven signals designed to pursue additional returns.”
Framework Digital Advisors operates as the designated investment adviser managing the ETF. This structure enables direct asset ownership while managing market exposure throughout various cycles. GSR emphasized that the product channels its trading proficiency into a compliant investment framework.
Solana Integration Adds Growth-Oriented Blockchain Exposure and Staking Capabilities
The ETF portfolio incorporates Solana to access expansion opportunities in blockchain networks supporting tokenized asset infrastructure. Solana rounds out the three-asset core allocation alongside Bitcoin and Ether. Weekly rebalancing responds to current market conditions and proprietary strategy indicators.
GSR integrated staking mechanisms for eligible digital assets to produce yield from blockchain network participation. This functionality enables the ETF to accumulate rewards while maintaining positions in qualifying tokens. Several established crypto ETFs have implemented staking features, including BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust trading under ticker IBIT.
GSR CEO Xin Song commented, “GSR has spent over a decade building efficient crypto markets, and with Core3, we are extending that expertise into a product accessible to a broader range of investors.” The firm has delivered liquidity solutions and over-the-counter trading capabilities for more than ten years. Through this ETF launch, GSR now maintains operations spanning both trading services and asset management functions.
