Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley Says He Personally Bought the Bitwise NEAR ETF

A CEO buying his own firm's product is a signal of conviction, but it is also a marketing gesture, and the absence of a disclosed amount limits how much weight it carries. The more substantive detail is the roughly $9 million in net inflows on the third trading day, which suggests the fund is finding real demand rather than just launch-day noise. The open question is whether that pace holds once the initial novelty fades and NEAR's price direction stops providing a tailwind.
