- GSR debuts BESO ETF with active strategy, adjusting Bitcoin, Ether, and Solana allocations weekly to outperform benchmarks.
- ETF records nearly $5M in first-day volume, signaling early investor interest in diversified crypto investment products.
- Launch aligns with growing ETF momentum as major firms expand crypto offerings and attract institutional capital inflows.
GSR launched its Crypto Core3 ETF, trading under ticker BESO on Nasdaq, offering exposure to Bitcoin, Ether, and Solana. The fund recorded nearly $5 million in first-day trading volume, reflecting early demand for diversified crypto products, according to Nasdaq data and company statements.
Active Strategy Drives Multi-Asset Exposure
GSR structured the ETF as an actively managed product with a 1% fee. The fund adjusts allocations weekly using internal research signals.
Notably, the strategy aims to outperform a benchmark tied to Bitcoin, Ether, and Solana weightings. GSR said the model relies on disciplined portfolio shifts across market conditions.
A published model portfolio showed Ether leading at 51.4%, followed by Solana at 41.67%. Bitcoin held a smaller share at 6.93%.
Trading Debut Shows Early Investor Interest
On its first trading day, BESO recorded 185,574 shares traded, totaling about $4.8 million. The ETF closed at $26.04.
However, after-hours activity pushed the price higher to $33. This movement highlighted immediate market engagement following the listing.
GSR confirmed the ETF tracks spot prices of the three assets. It also incorporates staking rewards where applicable to generate additional returns.
Expansion Aligns With Broader ETF Momentum
The launch comes as major firms increase activity in crypto ETFs. Notably, Morgan Stanley introduced a spot Bitcoin ETF on April 8.
That product has already attracted $163.8 million in net inflows. Meanwhile, Goldman Sachs filed for a Bitcoin Premium Income ETF on April 14.
GSR CEO Xin Song said the firm expanded into ETFs to reach more investors. He added the strategy reflects its experience in crypto markets.
Founded in 2013 by Cristian Gil and Richard Rosenblum, GSR has focused on trading and liquidity services. The ETF now extends that expertise into regulated investment products.
