NEAR Protocol has risen by about 26% in the past week, with the token price climbing to around $4.90 to $5.00. This is against the backdrop of Bitwise's completion of key regulatory steps for the launch of NEAR ETF. On September 24th, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission announced that the registration statement for this fund took effect, and Bitwise also submitted a Form 8-A to register ETF shares for trading; the documents also show that the listing application for NYSE Arca has been submitted and approved, with the proposed code being NRR. However, reports point out that this does not equate to ETF having already started trading, nor should it be generally described as a new SEC 'approval'.

NEAR Protocol has risen by about 26% in the past week, and the current token price is around $4.90 to $5.00. Meanwhile, Bitwise's upcoming NEAR ETF has completed one of the most important regulatory steps to date.

The key development is not a new ETF application. The registration process for this Bitwise product has been ongoing for several months. What changed this week is that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced on September 24th that the registration statement for this fund took effect, and Bitwise also submitted a Form 8-A at the same time, in order to register the shares of ETF for trading on exchanges. The official confirmation of effectiveness stated that this registration took effect on September 24th.

In addition, as shown by Form, the application for Bitwise NEAR ETF to be listed on NYSE Arca has been submitted and approved. The proposed trading code is NRR.

This brings the fund one step closer to starting trading, but it should still be noted that it should not be broadly referred to as a new SEC 'approval'.

As the ETF structure is gradually put in place, the upward trend of NEAR is accelerating.

NEAR is one of the large-cap crypto assets that has performed well this month.

CoinCodex Data shows that in the latest statistics, the price of this token is around $4.91, with a 35% increase over 7 days. It has risen from around $3.90 to $4.00 earlier this week to near $5, which represents an increase of over 20%. Therefore, this catalytic factor ETF is receiving widespread attention.

The design of this ETF itself is to directly hold NEAR. According to the latest prospectus of Bitwise, the primary goal of this trust is to track the value of NEAR held by the fund, while the secondary goal is to obtain additional NEAR earnings through pledging.

This staking feature makes this product more special compared to the simple spot encryption ETF.

"Effective" does not mean that trading has already begun.

The biggest difference lies at the programmatic level.

The EFFECT file of SEC indicates that the registration declaration has taken effect. Form 8-A is the registration of the relevant shares in accordance with the 'Securities Trading Law'. The approval of NYSE Arca meets another listing requirement.

However, these steps do not equate to the fact that this ETF has already started trading.

This also makes it similar to other news related to other cryptocurrencies ETF. In such reports, the application process itself is just as important as the results mentioned in the title.

Will the encryption of “Uptober” reappear? Analyzing the strongest months in history
Although “Uptober” is one of the most well-known seasonal patterns in the crypto market, October 2025 reminded the market that not all Oktobers are upward trending. Bitcoin reached a record high that month, only to see a decline of about 4% later on due to new Sino-US trade disputes that triggered risk aversion and large-scale liquidations. Looking at history, from 2013 to 2025, there were 10 October months with positive returns for Bitcoin, averaging around 19%; however, October 2026 began under different circumstances, with increased inflows of ETF, short covering, and improved liquidity, which drove Bitcoin and various altcoins stronger.

After Buffett's purchase price was broken through, has Google really become cheaper? | Silicon Valley Observation
This article argues that the key to determining whether Alphabet is a good deal lies not in Berkshire Hathaway's purchase price, but rather in whether the company's annual capital expenditures of nearly $200 billion can be transformed into sustainable cloud profits and a new generation of business distribution rights. The article discusses whether Google is transitioning from a search advertising company to an AI infrastructure and action distribution platform, by considering Berkshire Hathaway's investments, Alphabet's financing and capital expenditures, Google Cloud's revenue and profit performance, as well as a case study of an entrepreneur using Gemini to accomplish real-world tasks.
