Bitwise has submitted a registration filing for an Aptos ETF to the Delaware’s Department of State, paving the way for a possible ETF launch. According to the official registration portal , Bitwise , an exchange-traded fund issuer has filed for an Aptos ( APT ) ETF in the state of Delaware as it looks to expand its crypto offerings. This could mean that the firm is gearing up to file an official S-1 application with the U.S Securities and Exchange Commission . If the registration gets approved, Bitwise could become the first firm in the U.S. to launch an exchange-traded fund that directly holds APT tokens. APT is the native token of Aptos , Proof-of-Stake Layer 1 blockchain developed by Aptos Labs. The filing of Aptos ETP follows the launch of a series of Aptos ETPs in Europe, including Bitwise Aptos Staking ETP and 21Shares Aptos Staking ETP. Shortly after news of the filing spread, APT experienced a rise in value by 10%. The token is currently trading hands at $6.18, according to data from crypto.news. This means that APT has managed to break through the slump it was previously stuck in. In the past week, the token has gone down by 6.5%. In the past month, APT has gone down by nearly 20% and decreased by nearly 40% in the past year. Aptos has accumulated a market cap of $3.6 billion and a fully diluted valuation of $7 billion. In the past 24 hours, the daily trading volume for APT has reached $371 million, rising by nearly 44% compared to the previous day. Bitwise launched its Aptos Staking ETP on six Swiss exchanges in November 2024. In that same month, 21Shares also launched its Aptos Staking ETP in Euronext Amsterdam and Paris. Last month, Bitwise had submitted an official S-1 filing for a Dogecoin ETF that was previously registered the state of Delaware. The firm also received approval from the U.S. SEC for their Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF 19b-4 filing. The Bitwise Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF now awaits regulator’s decision on its S-1 registration before it can start trading on the markets.

Bitcoin miner MARA Holdings posted record-breaking earnings for Q4 2024, with revenue climbing 37% to $214.4 million and full-year revenue surging 69% to $656.4 million. According to its Feb. 27 Q4 2024 Shareholder Letter, MARA earned a net income of $528.3 million, a 248% rise year-over-year. Setting an industry standard, adjusted EBITDA, a profitability metric that does not include non-operational expenses like taxes and interest, rose 207% to $794.4 million. MARA mined 2,492 Bitcoin ( BTC ) in Q4, a 25% increase in total blocks won year-over-year, even though the April 2024 Bitcoin halving event cut block rewards in half. The company managed to capitalize on the spike in the price of Bitcoin, adding $119.9 million in earnings despite experiencing revenue reduction from lower output. MARA has become the second-largest corporate Bitcoin holder after its holdings increased 197% to 44,893 BTC, currently worth over $4.6 billion. Additionally, MARA has increased its energy infrastructure, securing 1.2 gigawatts of power at prices that are 28% less than the industry average. To lessen its reliance on third-party facilities, the company has expanded the percentage of its data centers from 0 to 70% since early 2024. It also deployed 136 megawatts of power capacity and launched a 25-megawatt micro data center project at wellheads in Texas and North Dakota. MARA’s hash rate, which is a measure of mining power, increased by 115% annually to 53.2 exahashes per second, making it one of the biggest Bitcoin miners. MARA’s direct mining cost per Bitcoin, however, went up from $23,000 to $28,801 per year in Q4 due to a 70% increase in energy expenditures to $127.4 million. To diversify its revenue sources, MARA plans to use its energy assets to venture into AI and data infrastructure.

Japan’s investment firm Metaplanet has issued $13.6 million in 0% ordinary bonds to fund the purchase of additional Bitcoin. Tokyo-listed firm Metaplanet is issuing 2 billion JPY (around $13.6 million) in bonds to EVO FUND, with the funds aimed at purchasing more Bitcoin ( BTC ) as part of the firm’s ongoing strategy to increase its holdings in digital assets. In a Feb. 27 regulatory filing , Metaplanet said the bonds carry no interest and will be redeemed at face value on Aug. 26. However, the bondholder, EVO FUND, has the option to request early redemption at any time. Early redemption can be made for all or part of the outstanding bonds, provided the request is made at least one business day in advance, the document reads. The funds required for the redemption of the bonds will come from the proceeds of the 13th to 17th Series of Stock Acquisition Rights, which Metaplanet expects to exercise. If the funds from these exercises reach a multiple of 50 million JPY, part of the bonds may be redeemed early. The bond issuance will be fully allocated to EVO FUND, with no guarantee or collateral attached to the bonds, per the document. Despite the news, Metaplanet’s shares have dropped nearly 25% as crypto prices experience a week-long decline. The announcement comes just two days after Metaplanet added 135 BTC to its treasury, strengthening its position as one of Japan’s most active corporate Bitcoin investors. Like Strategy — formerly MicroStrategy —, which owns the biggest corporate Bitcoin treasuries, Metaplanet has been gradually growing its holdings since launching its Bitcoin Treasury Operations. As crypto.news reported earlier, the firm’s BTC Yield, which measures the amount of Bitcoin held per share, grew by 309.8% in Q4 2024. It has however slowed down to 23.2% in early 2025 as Metaplanet increased the number of its shares.
