Bitwise NEAR Protocol ETF Filing with SEC

Bitwise Asset Management has filed an S-1 registration for a NEAR Protocol ETF with the US Securities and Exchange Commission as of May 6, 2025.

This filing enhances the presence of the NEAR Protocol within the cryptocurrency investment landscape, sparking interest among institutional investors.

Bitwise Asset Management, led by CEO Hunter Horsley, submitted the S-1 to list a NEAR Protocol ETF. This move is part of their ongoing strategy to broaden crypto ETF offerings beyond major cryptocurrencies. Their past filings include ETFs for Dogecoin and XRP.

The NEAR token saw price growth following the ETF filing announcement. By enabling institutions to invest in NEAR through an ETF, they could forgo managing private keys or custodial arrangements. “We are excited to offer institutional investors a way to gain exposure to NEAR without the complexities of managing private keys or custody arrangements,” said Hunter Horsley, CEO and Co-Founder, Bitwise Asset Management.

Previously, asset managers like 21Shares and Grayscale offered NEAR-related products, albeit not as ETFs. 21Shares provides a staking ETP,

and Grayscale manages a NEAR Trust for accredited investors, indicating existing interest in NEAR assets.

Experts suggest that the regulatory environment has become more accommodating. With the SEC’s trend toward greater acceptance of crypto ETFs, as demonstrated by past approvals for Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, Bitwise’s filing may proceed smoother.

The ETF is designed to track NEAR’s performance through direct token holdings, implying ease of access for investors. Current data shows NEAR ranks as the 43rd largest cryptocurrency, according to recent market capitalization metrics. Consequently, success in ETF listings may elevate NEAR’s standing.

By expanding into altcoins like NEAR, Bitwise continues to diversify crypto investment opportunities. The outcome of this process holds potential implications for institutional engagement in decentralized finance.
