🟣 Bitwise's NEAR ETP just crossed $100M. But that doesn't mean institutions bought $100M of NEAR...
#BitwiseNEARStakingETPAssetsTop$100M
Bitwise's Staking ETP now shows roughly $110.6M AUM.
Here's the detail that changes the story:
The product held about 25.2M NEAR, while NEAR's price had risen roughly 135% in 30 days.
Over the cited period, ETP units increased only around 0.6%.
In other words:
Price appreciation did much of the work.
That's an important distinction because AUM is often mistaken for capital inflow.
But there's another layer.
This isn't simply a passive NEAR wrapper. It's a staking ETP, giving traditional-market investors exposure to NEAR while the underlying asset participates in staking.
Meanwhile, NEAR's own infrastructure is expanding beyond its base chain: NEAR Intents now reports $29B+ all-time volume across 35 chains, positioning the network around cross-chain liquidity and execution.
So the real question is:
Can NEAR convert a rising token price into genuine institutional demand — rather than simply a larger institutional AUM number?
Not financial advice. AUM growth is not equivalent to net inflows, and past performance does not guarantee future results. DYOR.
