Bitwise Launches First US Spot Near ETF After Token Nearly Triples Since August

Bitwise's NRR began trading on NYSE Arca Tuesday, giving brokerage accounts NEAR exposure and staking rewards as the AI-focused token soars.

  • Bitwise has launched the first US spot Near ETF (NRR) on NYSE Arca, allowing investors to gain exposure to the AI-focused Near blockchain token through traditional brokerage accounts.
  • The ETF charges a 0.75% annual fee and holds actual Near tokens, offering staking rewards of approximately 5% which accrue to shareholders, though risks like slashing and potential loss of capital are disclosed.
  • The launch coincides with Near's recent price surge, driven by its AI focus and upgrades, despite still being significantly down from its all-time high.
