Bitwise希望列出一個交換貿易基金，該基金跟踪附近，即近協議的本地令牌

如果獲得批准，ETF附近的位將跟踪基金業務運營費用的附近價格，而Coinbase則充當託管人。

Digital asset manager Bitwise is looking to list an exchange-traded fund that tracks NEAR, the native token of the NEAR protocol, according to a Tuesday filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

根據美國證券交易委員會的一份文件，數字資產經理Bitwise希望列出一筆交易所交易的基金，該基金附近是近協議的本地代幣。

If approved, the Bitwise NEAR ETF will track the price of NEAR minus the expenses of the fund’s operations, with Coinbase acting as the custodian. The management fees and ticker weren’t included in the filing.

如果獲得批准，ETF附近的位將跟踪基金業務運營費用的附近價格，而Coinbase則充當託管人。備案中未包括管理費和股票。

The fund “provides investors with the opportunity to access the market for NEAR through a traditional brokerage account without the potential barriers to entry or risks involved with acquiring and holding NEAR directly,” according to the filing. It won’t use derivatives.

該文件稱，該基金“為投資者提供了通過傳統的經紀帳戶接近市場的機會，而沒有潛在的進入或直接收購和持有的風險的潛在障礙”。它不會使用衍生物。

What is NEAR?

附近什麼？

NEAR is a digital asset and the native token of the NEAR protocol, a decentralized application platform for developers that focuses on user-friendliness. The protocol is a competitor of Ethereum, the blockchain platform with the native token Ether, the second-largest crypto by market capitalization after Bitcoin.

附近是數字資產，也是近協議的本地令牌，該協議是一個分散的應用程序平台，專注於用戶友好性。該協議是以太坊的競爭對手，以太坊，這是一個具有本地令牌以太的區塊鏈平台，這是比特幣之後的市值第二大加密貨幣。

NEAR’s market capitalization is $2.7 billion as of Wednesday morning, making it the 33rd-largest crypto, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

根據CoinMarketCap的數據，截至週三上午，近近期的市值為27億美元，使其成為第33大加密貨幣。

The Rise of Altcoin ETFs

Altcoin ETF的興起

With Bitcoin and Ether spot ETFs gaining SEC approval last year, asset managers are seeking approval for a slew of other altcoins, including Litecoin, Solana and Cardano.

去年，隨著比特幣和以太現場ETF獲得SEC的批准，資產管理人員正在尋求批准其他替代幣，包括Litecoin，Solana和Cardano。

But in many cases, we’re not likely to hear back from the SEC on those filings for at least a few months, Bryan Armour, director of ETF and passive strategies research for North America at Morningstar, told etf.com.

但是，在許多情況下，至少幾個月來，我們不太可能會從SEC上聽到有關這些文件的回音。

“With that said, it certainly seems that the SEC has become more crypto-friendly,” Armour said. “The odds of approval are higher than with the previous administration, and I would say the timeline is shorter—if they were to be approved—than it would have been before the new administration.”

Armor說：“話雖如此，SEC似乎已經變得更加友好了。” “批准的機率比上一個政府高，我想說的時間表要短 - 如果要獲得批准，就會比新政府面前。”

As an example of that friendlier stance towards crypto, he referred to the launch of the Teucrium 2x Long Daily XRP ETF (XXRP) before the futures market had even opened. “Historically, Ethereum and Bitcoin ETFs were built around a more mature futures offering on CME.”

作為對加密貨幣的友好立場的一個例子，他提到在期貨市場開放之前，每天2倍長2次XRP ETF（XXRP）推出。 “從歷史上看，以太坊和比特幣ETF是圍繞CME的更成熟的未來產品建造的。”

Gains Never Guaranteed

收益永遠不會保證

Armour said investors should remember that just because an ETF may be approved doesn’t mean the price of the underlying token will necessarily go up or that the ETF will gain assets.

Armor表示，投資者應該記住，僅僅因為可以批准ETF並不意味著基礎令牌的價格一定會上漲，或者ETF將獲得資產。

“There’s a pretty significant drop off from Bitcoin to Ethereum, and Ethereum is significantly larger in market size than a lot of the altcoins that are being filed for,” Armour said.

Armor說：“從比特幣到以太坊有很大的下降，而以太坊的市場規模明顯大於許多正在申請的山寨幣。”
