In ETFs

Bitwise’s NEAR ETF began trading on NYSE Arca under the ticker NRR on Sept. 29, with multiple pieces describing it as the first U.S. spot product tied to NEAR. The fund holds NEAR directly, charges a 0.75% management fee, and is set up to stake the assets it holds. Several pieces also link the launch to NEAR’s recent trading strength and growing activity around NEAR Intents.

Each sentence links inside to the piece that supports it.
