May 08, 2026

April brought a number of important updates across our newsletter platform, research, and network support. Here’s what you need to know. Our newsletter is transitioning to a new platform to improve communication and delivery.

TL;DR

📰 Platform Updates

We’ve been working hard behind the scenes, and we’re excited to share the launch of the new Bitwise Onchain Solutions website!

Bitwise Onchain Solutions connects staking infrastructure with DeFi vault curation on a single platform, designed to help institutions manage onchain rewards more effectively.

As part of this transition, we’re also enhancing how we communicate with subscribers. Over the coming weeks, our newsletter will move to a new platform, allowing us to deliver more consistent, relevant updates.

No action is required on your end. You’ll continue to receive our updates as usual.

🔎 An Institutional Guide to Avalanche

We recently published An Institutional Guide to Avalanche, a deep dive into how Avalanche supports institutional uses.

The piece explores how using Avalanche to create purpose-built Layer 1 networks enables greater control over participation, compliance, and cost predictability—all key requirements for financial institutions operating onchain.

We also dive into Avalanche’s architecture, how it differs from traditional shared blockchain environments, and why that matters for capital markets infrastructure.

Portfolio Optimization - Protocol Offboarding

As part of our ongoing focus on operational efficiency and delivering long-term value to clients, we regularly evaluate the networks we support.

Following review, we are offboarding the following protocols:

  • Akash

  • Initia

  • Peaq

  • Wormhole

  • Noble

  • Axelar

  • Band

  • Mezo

  • Skale

  • Tezos

This decision reflects our continued effort to allocate resources where we can provide the strongest performance, reliability and support for our clients.

We look forward to sharing more soon. Stay tuned and subscribe to keep up to date.
