Bitwise2026-09-30 07:01:46Bitwise launches U.S. spot NEAR ETF with staking built into the fundBitwise said on Sept. 29 that it is launching the Bitwise NEAR ETF on NYSE Arca under the ticker NRR, calling it the first U.S. spot exchange-traded product tied to NEAR. The fund will hold NEAR tokens directly, charge a 0.75% management fee, and stake its holdings through Bitwise’s internal team in an effort to earn roughly 5% in staking rewards based on Sept. 25 on-chain data from the NEAR network. Bitwise said those rewards will be reflected in the fund’s net asset value per share, while stressing that the figure is annualized, does not represent fund performance, and is not guaranteed. The firm’s risk disclosure also said staking could expose the fund to lost rewards, slashing, and possible constraints on its ability to process redemptions in a timely manner. Bitwise is also pitching NEAR as blockchain infrastructure for the AI economy, citing more than $32 billion in cumulative volume processed by NEAR Intents, a market capitalization above $6 billion, full token unlock, and inflation recently cut in half to 2.5%.40
