Bitwise Files to Launch NEAR-Based ETF via Delaware Trust

A Delaware trust company registration for the “Bitwise NEAR ETF” was officially filed on Thursday, according to public records on the state’s website.

The filing, confirmed by Bitwise CEO and co-founder Hunter Horsley, represents an early move in the ETF creation process. While it does not yet constitute a formal application with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), it sets the foundation for potential future regulatory approval.

NEAR, currently ranked the 43rd largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, has shown modest gains in recent days, trading slightly above $2.60, based on data from The Block.

This filing adds NEAR to a growing list of digital assets Bitwise is targeting for potential ETF products.

The firm has previously registered similar Delaware entities for crypto-focused ETFs tied to assets such as Dogecoin, Aptos, and XRP. Some of these products have progressed to formal SEC registration stages, including the Bitwise Dogecoin ETF and Bitwise Aptos ETF.

As interest in regulated crypto investment vehicles grows, Bitwise continues to position itself at the forefront of bridging digital assets with traditional finance infrastructure.
