🚹 NYSE ARCA APPROVES BITWISE $NEAR ETF FOR LISTING.

‱ Bitwise has cleared an important exchange-level hurdle after NYSE Arca approved its spot NEAR ETF listing application. The asset manager filed Form 8-A on September 24, registering the shares for trading under the Securities Exchange Act.

‱ The ETF is expected to trade under ticker NRR, potentially becoming the first U.S. spot ETF tied directly to the NEAR Protocol. However, the filing does not set a launch date, stating that trading remains subject to a notice of issuance.

‱ The fund will charge a 0.75% annual management fee and intends to stake its NEAR holdings under normal conditions. Coinbase Custody will safeguard the underlying tokens, while 33% of additional NEAR generated through staking would cover staking expenses.

‱ The approval does not mean the SEC has approved the ETF itself. It confirms the exchange-level listing step, with the fund still awaiting its formal issuance and trading date. Near was trading near $5 following the news.
