Bitwise希望列出一个交换贸易基金，该基金跟踪附近，即近协议的本地令牌

如果获得批准，ETF附近的位将跟踪基金业务运营费用的附近价格，而Coinbase则充当托管人。

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.

根据美国证券交易委员会的一份文件，数字资产经理Bitwise希望列出一笔交易所交易的基金，该基金附近是近协议的本地代币。

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.

如果获得批准，ETF附近的位将跟踪基金业务运营费用的附近价格，而Coinbase则充当托管人。备案中未包括管理费和股票。

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.

该文件称，该基金“为投资者提供了通过传统的经纪帐户接近市场的机会，而没有潜在的进入或直接收购和持有的风险的潜在障碍”。它不会使用衍生物。

What is NEAR?

附近什么？

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.

附近是数字资产，也是近协议的本地令牌，该协议是一个分散的应用程序平台，专注于用户友好性。该协议是以太坊的竞争对手，以太坊，这是一个具有本地令牌以太的区块链平台，这是比特币之后的市值第二大加密货币。

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

根据CoinMarketCap的数据，截至周三上午，近近期的市值为27亿美元，使其成为第33大加密货币。

The Rise of Altcoin ETFs

Altcoin ETF的兴起

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，随着比特币和以太现场ETF获得SEC的批准，资产管理人员正在寻求批准其他替代币，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，在许多情况下，至少几个月来，我们不太可能会从SEC上听到有关这些文件的回音。

“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说：“话虽如此，SEC似乎已经变得更加友好了。” “批准的几率比上一个政府高，我想说的时间表要短 - 如果要获得批准，就会比新政府面前。”

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.”

作为对加密货币的友好立场的一个例子，他提到在期货市场开放之前，每天2倍长2次XRP ETF（XXRP）推出。 “从历史上看，以太坊和比特币ETF是围绕CME的更成熟的未来产品建造的。”

Gains Never Guaranteed

收益永远不会保证

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，投资者应该记住，仅仅因为可以批准ETF并不意味着基础令牌的价格一定会上涨，或者ETF将获得资产。

“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说：“从比特币到以太坊有很大的下降，而以太坊的市场规模明显大于许多正在申请的山寨币。”
