We’re pleased to announce the launch of the Bitwise NEAR Staking ETP (Ticker: NEAR | ISIN: DE000A4A5GV2) on Deutsche Börse Xetra. The ETP offers efficient, regulated exposure to @NEARProtocol —a high-performance, energy-efficient Layer 1 blockchain purpose-built for the AI era, enabling seamless cross-chain interoperability and AI-native applications. As part of Bitwise’s European suite of index-linked staking strategies, the ETP will stake the NEAR it holds, targeting ~5.5% in net additional returns (after staking fees and TER), while offering daily liquidity on regulated exchanges. “NEAR was built to power a new kind of internet—one where AI serves people, not platforms. This ETP brings that vision closer to investors worldwide.”  — Illia Polosukhin, Co-Founder, NEAR Foundation @NEARProtocol @Bitwise_Europe @BitwiseInvest
