Bitwise's NEAR Spot ETF Officially Lists
Bitwise Asset Management said its Bitwise NEAR ETF (ticker NRR) began trading on NYSE Arca on September 29, 2026, making it the first US spot exchange-traded product for NEAR. The fund holds NEAR directly and charges a 0.75% management fee. NRR is the first US spot ETP giving brokerage-based exposure to NEAR, and it adds an in-fund staking component through which Bitwise intends to stake the fund's tokens. Bitwise plans to stake the fund's NEAR holdings to earn roughly 5% average staking rewards, and said it has worked on a US NEAR ETF since launching a European NEAR ETP in June 2025. NRR joins Bitwise's US single-asset lineup tracking Bitcoin (BITB), Ether (ETHW), Solana (BSOL), XRP (XRP) and Hyperliquid (BHYP).

Bitwise’s NEAR ETF clears NYSE Arca and SEC hurdles, launch imminent - TradingView
Bitwise's NEAR exchange-traded fund has cleared NYSE Arca listing requirements and SEC regulatory hurdles, according to TradingView, with the launch described as imminent. The filing had previously been tracked as a pending crypto fund targeting NEAR Protocol. The clearance opens the way for US investors to gain exchange-traded exposure to NEAR, an asset that previously had no spot ETF listed in the United States. It follows the pattern of earlier spot altcoin ETF approvals moving through NYSE Arca and the SEC. Bitwise already offers a NEAR staking exchange-traded product in Europe, the Bitwise NEAR Staking ETP (DE000A4A5GV2), which was launched on 26 June 2025, is domiciled in Germany and had roughly €35 million in assets under management. NYSE Arca is an all-electronic exchange owned by NYSE Group, a subsidiary of Intercontinental Exchange, and accounts for the largest share of US ETP trading volume.
