Bitwise Investment Advisers’ Bitwise NEAR Protocol ETF, ticker NRR, is designed to hold NEAR directly and seek additional tokens through staking. The document describes shares as anticipated to list on NYSE Arca; it establishes the proposed structure.

The prospectus frames NRR’s primary objective as tracking the value of NEAR held by the Trust, minus operating expenses and other liabilities. Its secondary objective is to seek to derive additional NEAR through staking. That makes NRR an altcoin ETF-style product with an on-chain reward strategy.
