In the midst of a burgeoning crypto marketing showdown, the spotlight has recently fallen on Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) issuers who have unleashed a flurry of crypto advertisements, marking a total of three within a mere two days.
The first salvo was fired by Bitwise on December 18th when they unveiled their Bitcoin ETF advertisement.
Featuring none other than the renowned actor Jonathan Goldsmith, famous for his portrayal of the “Most Interesting Man in the World” in a Dos Equis beer campaign, this ad sought to capture the audience’s attention.
Not to be outdone, Hashdex joined the fray on December 20th with their own crypto advertisement.
Their offering featured a dumper truck emblazoned with the bold captions, “Stocks aren’t crypto, fixed income isn’t crypto, precious metals? nope, not crypto either,” before highlighting their own firm.
Bitwise, determined to maintain the momentum, swiftly responded on the same day with another short ad featuring Goldsmith.
In character, he humorously remarked, “Thought you would like to know, Satoshi sends his regards,” while continuing to promote Bitcoin.
Despite the spirited competition, the prevailing sentiment on social media was that Bitwise’s advertising campaign had emerged victorious.

This marketing blitz by asset managers is particularly noteworthy as it reflects a high level of confidence in a financial product still awaiting regulatory approval.
Currently, there are 13 pending spot Bitcoin ETFs, with analysts estimating a 90% likelihood of approval by the SEC by January 10th.
Samson Mow, CEO of JAN3 and a Bitcoin pioneer, weighed in on the significance of these marketing campaigns for Bitcoin ETFs.
Mow emphasized that companies vying for a spot in the Bitcoin ETF space are engaged in fierce competition for investors, inflows, and assets under management, with branding as their primary weapon.
He predicted, “This battle for the Bitcoin orange glow is going to heat up like you can’t imagine.”
Mow hinted at future campaigns from industry giants like BlackRock and Fidelity, envisioning endorsements from figures like Novak Djokovic and Michael Saylor, which would further intensify the marketing frenzy surrounding Bitcoin ETFs.
