Bitwise plans to expand its focus on artificial intelligence as two AI-focused exchange-traded funds await approval.

The proposed funds are the Bitwise AI Network Defense ETF and the Bitwise AI Bond ETF.

Bitwise also launched its first U.S. spot NEAR ETF last week. The fund trades under the ticker NRR on NYSE Arca, continuing Bitwise’s expansion of crypto-linked exchange-traded products in the U.S. market.

The two AI ETFs remain pending approval, while the NEAR fund is already trading.
