Breaking Down Bitwise’s Innovative Ethereum Advertisement Campaign
Asset management giant Bitwise recently launched a groundbreaking advertisement campaign for Ethereum (ETH). The 39-second advertisement emphasizes Ethereum’s unique capabilities compared to traditional finance.
Bitwise Campaign Mints TV Ad as NFT to Support Developers
The ad begins with Tacconi introducing himself as Ethereum, while Kaler, representing Big Finance, appears exhausted from his workday. Ethereum highlights its continuous availability, starkly contrasting Big Finance’s limited schedule.
- Tacconi as Ethereum emphasizes 24/7 accessibility
- Illustrates Ethereum’s capabilities in stablecoins, NFTs, and loans
- Aims to educate and engage viewers about Ethereum’s benefits
Victoria Kulbanska Anderson, Bitwise’s Head of Growth Marketing, acknowledged Ethereum as the most versatile blockchain. She expressed excitement about the campaign’s potential to highlight Ethereum’s features in an accessible and humorous way.
The Impact of Bitwise’s Creative Approach
The ad campaign will run on several of the nation’s largest business news networks and other paid channels. Additionally, Bitwise launches the ad as a non-fungible token (NFT). Viewers can mint the “Big Finance Sleeps” video as an NFT on Zora Network.
- The ad has been minted 1,479 times
- Part of the “Ethereum vs. Status Quo” NFT collection
- Proceeds support Ethereum open-source developers and the actors
Bitwise’s Move Following VanEck’s Ethereum Ad Launch
Bitwise’s ad release followed a similar move from another asset manager, VanEck. VanEck launched an Ethereum advertisement less than an hour after the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved the 19b-4 form for spot ETH exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
- VanEck emphasizes Ethereum’s potential in a 37-second video
- Bitwise files updated S-1 form with the SEC for spot Ethereum ETF
The final approval from the SEC is crucial for these ETFs to begin trading. Analysts project trading could start as early as July 2.
