NEAR Protocol is a blockchain platform known for its approach to scalability, low-cost performance, and a user-first vision of decentralization \u2013 powering 45M+ monthly active users and 8M daily transactions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Bitwise NEAR Staking ETP is designed for both institutional and retail investors who are familiar with digital assets and seeking to diversify their portfolios. The launch marks another milestone in a series of product innovations designed to broaden investment access to the crypto market, provide high-quality investment solutions and timely market insights, and promote transparency and accountability in what is shaping up to be a landmark year for the crypto industry.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The ETP is fully backed and issued in Germany, designed with the objective to deliver efficient staking returns, low total cost of ownership, and superior performance compared to other NEAR staking ETP solutions currently on the market. Staking yields accumulate daily in the ETP seeking to enhance performance. Using a robust and transparent benchmark, the CF NEAR Staked Return Index, investors can accurately track the performance of the ETP after costs and fees compared to the market standard NEAR staking return.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Biwise NEAR Staking ETP is the fourth to be launched as part of Bitwise\u2019s European Total Return product suite including the Bitwise Ethereum Staking ETP (Ticker: ET32 | ISIN DE000A3G90G9), which recently surpassed \u20ac200 million in assets under management.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #56aa1c;\"><strong><i>Bradley Duke, Head of Europe at Bitwise<\/i><\/strong><\/span>, said: \u201cWe are so pleased to launch this new ETP in partnership with NEAR. There is a lot of noise in the world of crypto and we are excited to partner with a genuine innovator in both blockchain and AI.

This ETP brings that vision closer to investors worldwide. By making NEAR more accessible through Bitwise\u2019s trusted products, we\u2019re accelerating mainstream adoption of user-owned AI infrastructure.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">NEAR Protocol \u2013 a layer-1 blockchain designed for usability and scalability<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">NEAR Protocol is a blockchain platform designed to make advanced technologies like artificial intelligence more accessible and useful. Launched in 2020, NEAR addresses common challenges in blockchain\u2014like slow speeds and high costs\u2014by using a technology called sharding to process many transactions at once.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">What sets NEAR apart is its focus on real-world usability: it lets people access apps and services with usernames\u2014similar to email addresses\u2014rather than traditional Web3 wallet codes. It also operates across different blockchains, aiming to simplify the transfer of assets and data between platforms. NEAR is already being used to power AI tools, digital wallets, and applications that give users greater control over their data and digital identity. Its architecture is particularly well-suited for AI, providing the speed, scalability, and data privacy required to support AI-powered applications and autonomous agents.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In Q2 2025, NEAR ranked #2 among the most-used blockchain platforms in terms of monthly active users, just after Solana. This growth is driven in part by NEAR\u2019s chain abstraction technology, which makes it easier for people to use apps across different blockchains without needing multiple wallets or tokens. With chain signatures, users can access and control accounts on other blockchains directly through their NEAR account, making cross-chain activity simple and intuitive.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Developers also benefit from NEAR\u2019s infrastructure. Its customizable smart contracts support multichain financial applications using secure cryptographic tools\u2014without the need for bridges or wrapped tokens, which can introduce risk and complexity.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Staking NEAR<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Staking is a way to generate income for crypto asset owners, and is a key feature for NEAR. On the NEAR Protocol, staking allows token holders to help validate transactions on the network, contributing to its security and reliability. In return, they earn additional tokens &#8211; so called staking rewards\u2014similar to how dividends work in traditional equities.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For investors, the Bitwise NEAR Staking ETP may offer a streamlined way to gain exposure to staking rewards without managing the technical aspects of staking or token custody directly. While direct NEAR holders can stake through wallets or validators, the ETP offers distinct benefits\u2014particularly daily liquidity, as it is traded on regulated stock exchanges and involves no lock-up periods or manual delegation. Additionally, the underlying NEAR tokens are held in secure cold storage by a professional institutional custodian, which offers an added layer of asset protection.<\/p>\n<h2>Key Product Details<\/h2>\n<div class=\"table-responsive text-table\">\n<table class=\"w-100\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>ETP Name<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Bitwise NEAR Staking ETP<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Primary Ticker<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>NEAR<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>ISIN \/ WKN<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>DE000A4A5GV2 \/ A4A5GV<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Index Benchmark<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>CF NEAR Staked Return Index<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Expected NET Staking Reward<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>5.5%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>TER<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>0.85% p.a.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Source : ETFWorld.co.uk<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bitwise Lists NEAR Staking ETP on Xetra, Broadening Suite of Index-Based Staking Strategies<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":61996,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"telegram_tosend":false,"telegram_tosend_message":"","telegram_tosend_target":0,"footnotes":"","_wpscp_schedule_draft_date":"","_wpscp_schedule_republish_date":"","_wpscppro_advance_schedule":false,"_wpscppro_advance_schedule_date":"","_wpscppro_dont_share_socialmedia":null,"_wpscppro_custom_social_share_image":0,"_facebook_share_type":"default","_twitter_share_type":"default","_linkedin_share_type":"default","_pinterest_share_type":"default","_linkedin_share_type_page":"","_instagram_share_type":"default","_medium_share_type":"default","_threads_share_type":"","_google_business_share_type":"","_selected_social_profile":null,"_wpsp_enable_custom_social_template":false,"_wpsp_social_scheduling":{"enabled":false,"datetime":null,"platforms":[],"status":"template_only","dateOption":"today","timeOption":"now","customDays":"","customHours":"","customDate":"","customTime":"","schedulingType":"absolute"},"_wpsp_active_default_template":true},"categories":[4],"tags":[432],"class_list":["post-61995","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-etf-europe","tag-bitwise"],"blocksy_meta":{"styles_descriptor":{"styles":{"desktop":"","tablet":"","mobile":""},"google_fonts":[],"version":6}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.etfworld.com\/co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61995","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.etfworld.com\/co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.etfworld.com\/co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.etfworld.com\/co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.etfworld.com\/co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=61995"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.etfworld.com\/co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61995\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":62000,"href":"https:\/\/www.etfworld.com\/co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61995\/revisions\/62000"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.etfworld.com\/co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/61996"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.etfworld.com\/co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=61995"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.etfworld.com\/co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=61995"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.etfworld.com\/co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=61995"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
