Summary
Bitwise Asset Management and Parrot Finance announced on June 18, 2026 that Bitwise's crypto model portfolios are now available to Parrot clients, according to a PRNewswire release datelined San Francisco. Bitwise describes itself as a global crypto asset manager with more than $11 billion in client assets. Parrot Finance describes itself as a next-generation registered investment adviser that uses an intelligent recommendation engine to automate personalized investing and mimic top-performing strategies. The companies say the offering gives Parrot's clients, who collectively hold over $200 million on the platform, a curated framework for accessing the digital asset class, which they value at $2.5 trillion.

The models are built on Bitwise's research and select crypto-themed exchange-traded products for different investor profiles and risk preferences. Core models provide broad exposure to the crypto ecosystem, while thematic models let investors emphasize specific themes, such as risk-managed exposure or crypto assets beyond bitcoin. The portfolios are monitored and rebalanced systematically to limit drift from target asset allocations.

The release positions the rollout as the latest step in Bitwise's entry into the model portfolio business. It cites data showing assets tracking third-party model portfolios grew from $400 billion in 2023 to more than $645 billion in 2025, a 62% increase, and frames model portfolios as a scalable tool for financial advisors. Nikki Varanasi, founder and CEO of Parrot Finance, said the company aims to make institutional-quality investing accessible to everyday investors. Because the story is a paid press release, its characterizations of the offering and market size come from the companies rather than independent analysis.
