What did Clear Creek disclose in its latest filing?
Clear Creek Financial Management reported roughly $15.1 million in crypto exchange-traded funds in its latest U.S. regulatory filing. The positions cover Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, and Solana products held through regulated ETF wrappers rather than direct token custody.
The firm oversees more than $1.5 billion in assets, so the crypto sleeve is a relatively small slice of its overall book. Still, the disclosure shows a multi-asset approach that goes beyond a Bitcoin-only allocation.
Institutional managers with at least $100 million in qualifying U.S. securities must file Form 13F each quarter. Those reports disclose certain long positions but leave out cash, shorts, and assets outside the filing rules.
How are the $15.1M holdings split by asset?
Bitcoin ETFs accounted for about $10.4 million. Clear Creek's largest line was the Bitwise Bitcoin ETF (BITB), with 304,155 shares valued at about $9.69 million. It also held roughly $477,412 in BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF and $248,539 in the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust ETF. BITB made up close to 93% of the disclosed Bitcoin ETF sleeve.
Ethereum was the second-largest crypto bucket at almost $4.3 million. That included 337,162 shares of the Bitwise Ethereum ETF worth about $3.8 million, 14,336 shares of the iShares Ethereum Trust worth $170,455, and 21,374 shares of the Grayscale Ethereum Staking ETF valued at $321,251.
On XRP, the firm held 11,621 shares of the Bitwise XRP ETF, valued at $135,501. Solana exposure totaled about $268,329 across 11,258 shares of the Bitwise Solana Staking ETF ($112,693) and 28,144 shares of the Grayscale Solana Staking ETF ($155,636).
Why does this Form 13F snapshot matter?
Form 13F filings give investors a documented look at how registered advisers use regulated crypto funds. Clear Creek's report is a quarter-end snapshot, so the firm may have increased, reduced, or exited positions after the reporting date.
Even so, the mix matters: Bitcoin still dominates, Ethereum is a clear second, and smaller XRP and Solana ETF stakes show advisers sampling a wider set of crypto products. That pattern fits a market where competing issuers—Bitwise, BlackRock, and Grayscale—offer multiple routes into the same assets.
How does Wall Street's crypto ETF expansion fit in?
The disclosure lands as traditional finance keeps expanding crypto ETF access. Morgan Stanley launched Ethereum and Solana exchange-traded products that began trading on NYSE Arca on July 28, with a 0.14% management fee and staking features that pass rewards to investors, according to Morgan Stanley Investment Management.
Together, Clear Creek's multi-asset 13F holdings and fresh bank-affiliated ETF launches underscore growing institutional comfort with regulated crypto exposure—while reminding readers that filings lag live portfolio decisions.
