Despite the launch of a NEAR ETP, the token faces significant selling pressure amid broader market uncertainty.

​

AI-focused NEAR token slumped by 5% on Friday despite the launch of Bitwise’s NEAR exchange-traded product (ETP).

The sell-off comes during a muted day for cryptocurrencies with bitcoin also falling back from its test of a new record high.

The launch of Bitwise’s NEAR Staking ETP marks a significant milestone for institutional adoption of the protocol, allowing regulated investors to gain exposure to NEAR’s staking rewards through a traditional investment vehicle.
