NEAR

Ok_Body_2830

I hold a wide (probably too wide) range of alts. In the past, I have made the mistake of round-tripping too many gains by holding out for higher prices before selling anything. So I made a concious effort of starting the ladder out process at more modest gains. E.g. Sell the first 10% chunk at 1.25-1.5 the price I bought. The past month or so I have hit the first rung of the ladder on a lot of the coins where I had a decent entry price. Sometimes 2 or 3 rungs if they have been on a real run (e.g. NEAR). If they go back down to my original entry price, I will top back up to my initial quantity and keep some modest profits from this mini-bull. If the next move is to continue upward, I will keep laddering out at a rate that allows me to take profits but keep some exposure to huge breakouts. So that is what I am doing right now in terms of active buying/selling. For the chunk of my portfolio in BTC, I am less concerned with taking short term profits. It's a more stable asset, so the short term profits would be a lot smaller percentage wise and I am perfectly comfortable holding it long term. So I am just hodling. I may buy a little more, particularly if prices go down. I have some ETH which is getting a similar treatment, and a little bit of BNB, SOL, and XRP which I am treating as midway between the stable asset and speculative altcoin.

people here saying altcoin season is dead, now look what will happen on NEAR and Injective once thier ETF got approved. also the recent Quant token surges to 300% in just 3 days after selected by CLEARING HOUSE to power its on-Chain Money Initiative, a network designed to let financial institutions clear and settle tokenized deposits. not all altcoin you hold skyrocket some of them will slowy die. and the recent meta for the upcoming bullrun is RWA, payments, AI

Right_Strength2170

NEAR, ENA, ZEC and UNI pump endlessly day after day

Backrus

Performance this year vs benchmarks (BTC and MSTR); performance since we started bull on August 24 (close above weekly ema50), whales' positioning, ETFs flows, and narrative simple enough that even average redditor can understand it (ZEC is privacy, although honeypot lol, but number goes up, but just use Monero, HYPE is basically better CBOE/RH, although for options there's DRV, LIT is the same so it's diversification, NEAR has been he best out of AI plays). Then again, alts shouldn't be more than 5% of your overall stock portfolio. Disclaimer: I've had those since 2025, so my cost basis is infinitely small. Still, every cycle worked like that - early winners just kept running and winning even more.

Backrus

Honestly, no point for quite some time. First of all, there's no such thing as "investing" in crypto - to invest in something, it has to have fundamental value. Tokens created in 15s (yes, it takes that long) don't have any fundamental value. You can argue BTC has some, but still, you're gambling on price appreciation without any logical reason. When IBIT options launched, BTC lost its ability to generate upside volatility (in January GVZ flipped BVIV, and BVIV chart alone is just sad). Without that, it's just another stock with market like returns and much bigger downside risk. So it's hard to find honest argument to have it in your portofolio on a risk-adjusted basis. Then again, if you have to hold something, do it with BTC - there are periods when it decorrelates from stocks (but over last 3 years it decorrelated from the upside lol). Since COVID dump / post 2021, stocks have better volatility, and better risk-adjusted returns (BTC has been the worst performing asset in the world on an absolute and risk-adjusted basis since IBIT options launched on November 19, 2024; although it might change with the start of new bull market on August 24). Not to mention all the investor protections in the world. If you still wanna gamba, this cycle has already decided its winners: HYPE, LIT, ZEC, NEAR.

“Near “is going great right now . I have some but mainly buying SVRN which is the stock that goes up in conjunction with NEAR . Bought in 20s and now it’s touching 52$ within a couple weeks . Maybe more upside ? I’m taking a bet

The end is NEAR

KidAmulet

Let's you and me come back to this comment in August 2027, when BTC is only up 3x (from $85k), and the others are up 6 to 10x and have much more adoption and use cases (which is already true). BTC legitimized the industry. It's work is done. Once the market realizes there are better digital assets, the crypto industry will be a lot better off and no longer a slave to BTC price action. Good thing is the decoupling already started this year with HYPE, ZEC, VVV, and NEAR price action while BTC was in a bear market.

Peturio

ZEC is the whole story here. It runs at about 150% annual volatility, more than twice SOL, so with 48% of the money it carries 72% of the risk and the four coins behave like 1.8 independent bets rather than four. The upside of that is real. In a one year simulation from current volatility and correlations with no trend assumed, 30% of paths double and the top 5% end above 7x. The other side is that the worst 5% lose 71% or more (BTC alone, 51%), five paths in six go through a 50% drawdown at some point, and one in three goes through 70%. This mix does not do moderate. Two things about ZEC the weights don't show. Over the last twelve months its correlation to SOL, NEAR and HYPE was 0.35 to 0.45, low for crypto, which is why the diversification ratio is a decent 1.19. Over the last 90 days that has flipped. ZEC's beta to BTC is now about 1.9, the highest in the book, so a 30% BTC drop today maps to ZEC −56%, NEAR −40%, HYPE −38%, SOL −35%, and the book −46%. The coin that diversified you last year is the one most sensitive to BTC right now. Replays on today's weights. The October 2025 to July 2026 bear, which cost BTC 51%, would have made this mix +47%, entirely because ZEC rose 152% inside that window while SOL fell 66% and NEAR 39%. The path still went to −22% first, in March. The June 2026 liquidation cascade cost 29% in five days and ZEC fell 33% in it, so in a fast deleveraging it does not hedge anything. The FTX window costs 41%, mostly SOL at −63% (HYPE did not exist yet and is filled in by beta). One number to distrust. Resample the last twelve months of actual daily moves and the median outcome is 14x. That is not a forecast, it is the 2025-26 ZEC rally dominating the sample, and what it tells you is that this book's entire track record is one event. Liquidity at retail size is a non-issue for all four, and a stock market shock on its own barely registers. As usual, there are model estimates under those assumptions, not advice.

Beginning-Stick6479

ZEC: 48% SOL: 33% NEAR 15% HYPE: 4% thanks!

jawni

NEAR is going to be the new less hated version of Tron, where it keeps going up and uninformed people just assume it's a scam rather than realizing heavy usage is driving the price gains.

Post is by: Altruistic_Rule8916 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1wmgdq6/today_crypto_analysis/ **Massive Green Day Across Crypto – BTC Back Above $85K, Alts Leading the Charge (Sept 21, 2026 Market Update)** What’s up everyone, Just checked the boards and it’s looking like a proper risk-on day. Broad-based green across the board with some serious outperformance from the alts. Here’s the snapshot from the major pairs (USDT): | Pair | Last Price | 24h Change | |------|------------|------------| | **BTC** | $85,989.52 | **+6.67%** | | **ETH** | $2,741.43 | **+6.20%** | | **SOL** | $118.56 | **+9.46%** | | **ZEC** | $1,530.95 | **+6.34%** | | **XRP** | $1.5014 | **+8.78%** | | **NEAR** | $4.111 | **+10.66%** | | **SUI** | $1.0458 | **+26.86%** | | **BNB** | $797.31 | **+5.78%** | # What’s driving the move today \- Bitcoin finally punched back above the psychological $85k level with solid volume (2.17B on the pair). After the choppy action we’ve seen recently, this feels like real buying pressure rather than just a short squeeze. \- Ethereum is keeping pace but lagging BTC slightly on percentage terms — classic mid-cycle behavior. \- The real fireworks are in the mid-caps and ecosystem plays. **SUI** is absolutely ripping (+26.86%), **NEAR** is up double digits, and **SOL** continues its strong relative performance. These aren’t random pumps — they’re the names that have been accumulating quietly for weeks. \- Even privacy plays like ZEC and the more traditional large-caps (XRP, BNB) are participating. Breadth is healthy. This looks like a classic “everything is green” session rather than a narrow BTC-only move. When you see SUI, NEAR, and SOL leading while BTC is also strong, it usually means risk appetite is returning. # Short-term technical read \- BTC reclaiming $85k with a strong daily candle is constructive. Next real resistance sits in the $88k–$90k zone. Support now flips to the previous breakdown area around $82–83k. \- SOL holding above $115–118 is key. A clean daily close above $120 would open the door for a run toward previous local highs. \- SUI’s move is extended on the daily, so some pullback/consolidation wouldn’t be surprising, but the strength of the trend is hard to ignore. # Medium-term outlook (next few weeks to months) I’m leaning bullish for the remainder of Q3 into Q4 2026 for a few reasons: 1. **Macro tailwinds** – Risk assets have been finding buyers on dips, and crypto is starting to catch a bid again. 2. **Relative strength in alts** – When SOL, SUI, and NEAR are leading, it usually means capital is rotating into higher-beta names rather than just parking in BTC. 3. **Structure** – Many of these charts have been compressing or building higher lows. A strong weekly close this week would confirm the shift from range-bound to trending. **Bull case**: BTC grinds toward $90k–$95k over the next 4–6 weeks while SOL and SUI continue to outperform. Altseason metrics start flashing properly. **Base case**: Continued chop with higher lows. BTC holds the $80–85k zone and we get rotational strength rather than a straight parabolic move. **Bear case** (lower probability right now): Failure to hold $82–83k on BTC and a sharp rotation back into stablecoins. Would need a clear catalyst. # Personal take Today feels like one of those sessions where the market is telling you the sellers are getting exhausted. The fact that even the more “forgotten” names (ZEC, NEAR) are participating is a healthy sign. I’m not chasing the SUI candle here, but I’m watching for pullbacks to add to higher-conviction names. Curious what everyone else is seeing. Are you treating this as a relief bounce or the start of something more sustained? Stay safe out there and manage risk. # #Crypto #Bitcoin #BTC #Ethereum #ETH #Solana #SOL #SUI #NEAR #XRP #BNB #CryptoMarket #Altcoins #Bullish *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

The fact no one has said NEAR yet is concerning. Because it is NEAR

liviughg

Maybe you had too much absinthe? Just throwing negative words backed by zero evidence is not the way. NEAR is the future and its price action is the evidence for its utility.

absinthiumxmr

Yes, and its compliancy layer is shit. [https://crypto-economy.com/589k-usdt-stuck-for-50-days-after-zodl-swap-zcash-holder-claims/](https://crypto-economy.com/589k-usdt-stuck-for-50-days-after-zodl-swap-zcash-holder-claims/) I'm sure NEAR will continue going up in the NEAR (see what I did there?) term. But it has functionally no reason for existing with its current model vs. centralized instant swaps, and will likely crash at some point.

Despaciito

NEAR is gearing up a new move. Did you buy the dip?

Traditional_Most105

If you want the safe way with less upside go BTC and ETH. If you want something with more upside then look on altcoins that are in the top 50 or top 100, make sure they are not memecoins, have a working project behind them, a trending narrative, good tokenomics and either put all your available money on one, or diversify and hold long term. For example some of my goins i will hold long term and dca on them are LINK, HBAR, TRAC, NEAR, TAO. I am not mentioning them to influence you. Do your own research. I dont know if its a good entry point now. But if youre gonna hold long term and dca on any coin you choose then it doesnt matter.

liviughg

**NEAR Intents has a layer of compliance indeed. This is not then chain to laundry money.**

absinthiumxmr

I think TAO has some potential. Don't own any personally but it is at least a respectable own. NEAR is a centralized piece of shit that has AML checks and freezes funds.

liviughg

You may chose between becoming one of those insufferable Bitcoin maxis or invest in AI crypto projects (NEAR, TAO, others). You decide

Garrett_CPAatCOS

Anyone else enjoying this NEAR pump?

RatherCynical

This is a stupid way to frame it. Crypto sources its funds from ordinary banks. People put their savings into DeFi because when banks pay 0-2%, NOT using DeFi is losing money to inflation. That's where all the ETH, DOT, ADA, AVAX, FTM, MATIC, NEAR, and every other NFT going crazy comes from. Without that money, no alt-season. Because we shifted regime from nearly 2 decades of 0-2% interest to a 4%+ interest regime, the death of alt-season happened in 2022. It's never about "crypto being a lifestyle". It's about the money valve getting firmly clamped shut

Ok_Dot4134

Look at AI plays for future. TAO being best and NEAR. If you want a totally Degen pick right now DRB launched on BASE. HYPE (if Trump actually gets it in USA).

msc1974

50% NEAR - 50% SOL As soon as you double your money (on either), take profit and move it over into BTC - Rinse and repeat. • Not financial advice :)

NEAR is also following Zcash, seems like a privacy move. Monero has been trending up separately too.

Really appreciate you actually reading through the code, this is exactly the kind of feedback I was hoping for. The gradient booster idea makes sense in theory but yeah, like you said, not enough data at 2h resolution to train anything reliable right now. Filed away for later if we ever get more history. The per-asset thing hit hardest though, went and checked it right after reading your comment. Same exact strategy across 10 coins on the 2H bot, 3 months of data: LINK 71% winrate, +0.71 ADA 70% winrate, +0.59 SOL 50% winrate, +0.07 BNB 50% winrate, -0.64 DOGE 42% winrate, -0.76 NEAR 43% winrate, -1.86 XRP 29% winrate, -1.07 AVAX 27% winrate, -1.52 BTC 20% winrate, -0.94 ETH 30% winrate, -2.19 Basically confirms exactly what you guessed without even seeing the numbers. One model, wildly different results per coin. Feels like the next real thing to dig into rather than more exit tuning. Volatility-adaptive stops instead of fixed thresholds lines up with something we found digging into MFE/MAE research before posting here (Chandelier exit type stuff), so good to hear it independently from someone who actually trades this way. You're right on the order book too, we're doing a REST snapshot via fetch_order_book, not a real delta stream, and yeah the main loop is just sleeping 60s between polls. Both accurate, both would be a real infra upgrade, just not sure yet if that's the bottleneck or if it's the per-asset thing above. Probably worth doing eventually either way. Maker vs taker on exit is a good point for whenever this goes live, but it's all paper trading right now so no real fills happening yet, nothing to optimize there for the moment. Thanks again, this was way more useful than I expected when I posted.

Fudge-Still

I haven't gotten into the other ones but man still really struggling with NEAR and Link too.

RedKe

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I feel like this topic can't really be discussed on subreddits dedicated to a single coin properly but I am interested in what fellow HBAR holders think of other coins. I will need to research LINK tokenomics more but I thought even if fiat or other tokens are used for payment those are ultimately exchanged for LINK which increases demand. Algorand used to be one of my top choices but over time I have dropped my interest in it. Although it is great tech it seems to have a poorly organized foundation, and the founder (Silvio Micali) is creating another chain for institutions so seems to have given up on Algorand gaining widespread adoption. NEAR, ICP, SUI, and Aptos seem to have some interesting tech and I hold a little of them in case they take off some day, but I also keep mostly investing in Hedera. I just wish Hedera showed more institutional adoption progress like Stellar, Canton, and ETH seem to be getting.

oak1337

I personally only hold HBAR. If I had to say others... BTC if you believe in the long term narrative. Started as "the new digital currency for the world", but switched to "digital gold" because it was too expensive and slow to transact. Therefore it's really turned into "hold, hope the next guy buys higher". LINK is connected everywhere which is good, but there's no real driver of coin price. The tokenomics are bad, since LINK can be completely circumvented for everything. Another very speculative one, but name recognition can drive price. Algorand is probably the best "traditional blockchain" tech out of the rest. ICP is also good tech, but it's niche. Stellar is getting traction, but has scalability issues. Canton also getting traction, but has God awful tokenomics. Quant is an interesting one, but not sure the total role it will play when things shake out. There's some other interesting ones like Ondo, Render, Bittensor, NEAR, etc... But that's probably where I'd stop. I don't have long term faith in (almost) any of them except Hedera. That's not to say money can't be made along the way.

LordDuhon

If you want to swap it to USDC, you can use NEAR Intents and end up paying like $2 in fees.

liviughg

TAO, NEAR, ICP and other AI crypto currencies are expected to outperform.

jawni

NEAR, ORE, CARDS, HYPE. I'd include SOL but it's already my biggest holding, but if I didn't have a lot, I'd be buying that too. Just buy the tokens with good fundamentals.

omgitsyogirt

Good list. One that's missing: Bitlendex. Worth adding to your research if custody architecture is a deciding factor for you. The key differentiator is how collateral is held. Rather than a single custodian holding your keys, it uses a 30-node MPC network - BitGo, Fireblocks, and NEAR validators running inside Trusted Execution Environments. No single entity can move your Bitcoin. Contracts are immutable, no single entity has access to your BTC. As for APRs, I managed to lock in a rate around 7%

aprx4

NEAR Intent is great for swapping with high volume without significant slippage. Although i have stopped using NEAR because Hyperliquid spot market has the coins i need. Yes i know HL is not truly decentralized, but it is great alternative to traditional CEX nonetheless.

Bradford203

INJ AR FIL GRT RENDER NEAR that's my 6

kitchenhack3r

Only decent response in this thread. VVV, HYPE, maybe NEAR or SUI are the only ones I’d be looking at now. The rest of the coins in this thread haven’t been hot since the last bull run.

90Skill10Luck

Nano’s architecture (the Block Lattice) focuses on individual account chains. While this allows for low latency, its sustained throughput is significantly lower than modern high-performance networks like Solana, Sui, Kaspa or Aptos, which are designed to handle thousands of transactions per second. Because Nano lacks traditional transaction fees, it has historically been susceptible to spam attacks. ​A "best" payment network often requires more than just speed and zero fees; it requires utility, integrations, and liquidity. Near-Zero Costs: Networks like Solana, Sui, Kaspa and NEAR offer transaction costs that are fractions of a cent (often $< $0.001). For most practical, everyday purposes, these costs are effectively negligible while offering significantly higher ecosystem utility, wider exchange support, and more robust developer environments. The security and consensus of the network rely on a set of nodes designated as "Principal Representatives." because there is no direct financial incentive (like mining rewards or staking yields) for running a node, the long-term sustainability of maintaining a sufficiently decentralized and high-performing network of nodes is an unproven economic model compared to incentive-based systems.

unknowngloomth

TAO and NEAR. Both of them are massively down from ATHs. Very unlikely that another leg will happen to these shitcoins.

Physical-Title-9442

I said this at 70k that there werent enough people whining about btc yet, so it must go lower. THE BOTTOM IS NEAR. 53k

Hot-Efficiency7190

It's obviously HYPE. Maybe NEAR does well too with AI play. For most tokens the time to buy them was 2023 and sell in the last cycle. The next time to buy will be this autumn/winter and sell in 2029. A few will break above the cycle trend.

VollcommNCS

And he explained it. But of course you ignored any explanation given and just smugly think you're smarter than someone like Zooko. Hey, maybe you are, but I doubt it. He deleted it because of people like you interpreting it your own way and not listening to the explanation behind it. It was bad phrasing, admittedly, and should have been followed up immediately with the explanation, which would have avoided this conversation entirely. The explanation is that when criminals try to offramp, they are likely going to have to use a transparent address. Transparent addresses being an option are currently necessary for Zcash to be listed on CEXs in order for exchanges to comply with current laws. Criminals can still take advantage of the privacy, they'll just need to get creative when trying to offramp. Users can swap shielded Zcash for anything supported by NEAR Intents. Users can send shielded Zcash peer-to-peer Users can spend shielded Zcash at certain merchants through the Flexa payments integration. More merchants coming but US legislation is slowing down the roll out. Criminals can take advantage of all of these features if that's something that you're interested in. What else do you want from a privacy coin? Optional shielding is a feature, not a bug. Don't like the idea of it being transparent? Then leave it shielded.

Lord_Gudda

Watching NEAR, HYPE, & FET pumping the last 2 weeks is the so irrational in this bear market.

colemusic1

Sorry dude, AI boom is not going anywhere. Have you noticed while BTC, ETH and other majors lately, that AI-narrative tokens had been ripping prior to this huge flush today? RENDER, NEAR, AKT, TAO, FET. There’s a good reason. Semiconductors. They’re in a literal insane expansion right now and edge AI in particular is a long term extremely demanded category within it. I know some might think this is just a short term narrative phase of AI, and while it typically goes in cycles? I don’t see that happening anytime soon. There’s an absolutely enormous supply shock which is why tech stocks are going parabolic. NVDA is officially the biggest company in the world. It IS a semiconductor stock/company, with computing in AI. It’s the biggest weighting in S&P 500, NASDAQ, BGBL, Vanguard (VGS), SMH… basically almost everything. It’s not going anywhere anytime soon.

zeroboundss

This is from a shitcoin page I follow on Tg: >NEAR is another top performer coin in our portfolio so far this year. Key developments that make us bullish NEAR for 2026: >1. Near Intents: This AI-driven transaction tool abstracts away complex execution steps. Since its Q1 2025 launch, it has processed over $20 billion across 25 million+ swaps. >2. Privacy first AI Infrastructure: The IronClaw framework provides confidential inference, allowing AI agents to perform corporate tasks securely without exposing sensitive data, credentials, or activity. >3. Reduced Inflation: As of October 2025, the annual inflation rate was halved from 5% to 2.5% >Bullish NEAR. Chart looks good. It's being shilled as a blue chip with strong fundamentals and good PMF because it combines privacy and AI.

kers2000

HYPE, ZEC, NEAR and ICP are showing extreme resilience. I think the revenue, privacy and AI narratives are the only ones that will print this summer.

LiquidityCompass

That's a valid use case. But it's still a case for decentralized AI, not necessarily for the NEAR token itself.

Confident_Hunter7506

NEAR intents is how ZCASH gets moved around. ZCASH is on a great run and NEAR is benefitting

LiquidityCompass

AI becoming successful and NEAR becoming successful are two completely different bets. A lot of investors seem to assume they're the same thing.

antistupidsociety

Now show it compared to HYPE, ZEC, NEAR over the past year lol

Lord_Gudda

Any thoughts on why HYPE, XLM, HBAR, NEAR and FET are pumping? Is it just because of the AI narrative in the stock market?

There was actually a small ALT cycle around April 2024 and little in 2025. I don't think it's the ALT cycle that was the issue but more the drop that followed. Most Alts are down 90%. Will they come back? Honestly, I agree with you and say no. Meme crazy is done. Retail has been burned. Useful projects - ETH, SOL - which both have issues, NEAR, and others in top 100 - possibly but even some of them will vanish. BTC will be fine. True, alt run in in earlier cycles was during QE not QT. Rates are higher, everything costs more and lots of macro uncertainity. If that goes away, can we run? Sure. Too bad it won't be for a long time.

Funny, I was having the same feeling and then rotated out of eth into Zcash last year and I’m up 3x. There are plenty of opportunities to catch every year in crypto if you are fairly active and staying up to date on X (memes 2024-last year, privacy and AI adjacent this year). For instance NEAR is probably going to make many people rich this year.

RoninTrdr

SpiritDonkey

Didn’t think I’d be breaking even on NEAR this year, or ever… but here we are 🎉

FriendsMade_MeDoIt

Trying to time the “sell now buy back lower” move is where a lot of people get wrecked honestly. I’ve done it before and watched the coin randomly pump right after I sold because BTC sneezed green for a day. If you still believe in NEAR long term and you’re only 10 cents off your average, I’d probably think more about whether you actually need the cash or just want the feeling of making an active move. Sometimes holding is less stressful than trying to outplay every swing.

I had a buddy told me to invest in NEAR and Polka I lost all my money they won't go back up you hold u til it becomes popular again and if it goes back up sell when it's a better price or sell now, it's a gamble regardless. Xrp made me close to 9k total off 1000 just buying and selling along the way to 4.80 but if I had held the bag I'd be dead broke right now.

NEAR is actually solid tech-wise, doesn’t get talked about enough 👀

I've also been looking for alpha opportunities during this geopolitical situation and began to look at the shift from speculative AI to infrastructure AI and [$NEAR Protocol](https://www.near.org/) showed up on my radar.. Check the [$NEAR Spot Netflow on CoinGlass](https://www.coinglass.com/currencies/NEAR/spot) right now. I’ve seen consistent red (Net Outflow) bars for the last 72 hours. This is the ledger showing that the liquid supply on exchanges is evaporating because Whales are pulling millions of $NEAR into private wallets because they are front-running a supply shock. Today at 11:00 AM PT, Jensen Huang (NVIDIA CEO) is headlining the Sovereign AI track at GTC. This is important because of the drone strikes we saw on centralized data centers in Bahrain. This punctuates why physical infrastructure a liability. Enterprises need sovereign AI that isn't sitting in some single warehouse. NEAR’s Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) is uniquely positioned to solve this problem by allow for black box AI processing that is decentralized and cryptographically secured. It’s the only way for US tech giants to keep AI online during geopolitical conflict. NEAR has also quietly launched a decentralized [AI Agent Marketplace](https://near.ai/blog/introducing-near-ai-agent-market). It's an autonomous bidding system where agents can scan the marketplace, bid on tasks (like code reviews or financial analysis), and execute work without a human in the loop. With the [Feb 23 Fee Switch now live](https://svrn.net/research/near-protocol) (auto-buying NEAR with protocol fees) and exchange supply hitting record lows, the price is coiled at $1.39 as of 04:00 UTC-0. If NVIDIA mentions decentralized infrastructure today, there is literally no supply left on exchanges to stop a massive gap up the way $TAO and $FET did. This isn't just some alt-coin... it's the security layer for the next era of AI.

On-Chain Check: $NEAR Spot Netflow is Deep Red for 72h. Supply Shock into NVIDIA GTC Keynote? So I'be been doing some deep research and have the hard data on why the price is coiling at $1.39 at 04:00 UTC-0 , check the [$NEAR Spot Netflow on CoinGlass](https://www.coinglass.com/currencies/NEAR/spot). We are seeing consistent Red (Net Outflow) bars for the last 72 hours. The ledger is showing that the liquid supply on exchanges is evaporating before the NVIDIA CEO's keynote tomorrow. While retail is watching the price, whales are pulling millions of NEAR into private wallets. My logical conclusion on this data point is when the supply hits a critical low and Jensen mentions "Sovereign AI" during his keynote today, the price will likely gap up the way $TAO and $FET did because there’s nothing left on the exchanges to buy. Also the recent drone strikes on centralized data centers have made Sovereign AI a mandatory security requirement. Enterprises can't risk their AI stack living in a single vulnerable warehouse. NEAR’s Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) are the only decentralized solution that offers Black Box privacy with the resilience of a global protocol.We are watching a fundamental shift from speculative AI (like $TAO) to infrastructure AI ($NEAR). The [SVRN Report](https://svrn.net/research/near-protocol) highlighted the Feb 23 Fee Switch as the floor, and the CoinGlass data confirms the whales are now building the ceiling. If the NemoClaw integration is confirmed during the 11:00 AM PT keynote, the liquidity gap is going to be violent.

Since Friday's, Bittensor’s Covenant-72B announcement and FetchAI's Autonomous Agents everyone appears to be FOMOing the TAO and FET pumps (total W for the holders, btw). IMHO they’re completely sleeping on the actual Autobahn this whole AI vision has to drive on. I’ve been deep-diving the Build-a-Claw workshops today and the one thing every dev is stressing about is security. Like how do you give an AI agent your private keys without it being a total security nightmare? NEAR has IronClaw that runs AI inside TEEs (Trusted Execution Environments) ...basically a black box so it’s impossible for even the server owner to see your data. Plus, Chain Signatures are a massive flex. On NEAR, one account lets an agent sign transactions on ANY chain. Imagine an autonomous agent managing your portfolio, buying compute off-chain, and paying for its own lunch while you sleep. If NemoClaw needs a hardware-agnostic settlement layer to operate across different company firewalls. NEAR’s Chain Signatures are the only tech that fits that specific niche. NEAR sitting stagnant at $1.36 feels a total glitch in the Matrix. Anyone else tracking the Claw sessions today or betting on the smart money rotating from overbought models into the infra that scales?

My crypto portfolio is always around 70% BTC and 10% ETH. The other 20% varies from time to time but always includes some LINK. Since the beginning of 2026 the only purchases I’ve made are Bittensor (TAO) and NEAR.

Fellow retail warriors, brothers and sisters who still believe in the dream of crypto freedom — listen to this nightmare, because tomorrow it could be YOUR wallet on the chopping block. I was just a simple P2P trader doing what thousands of us do every single day. I helped real people all over the world swap cash for crypto. No KYC games, no questions asked — because that’s how peer-to-peer is supposed to work. A middleman brings the client, we meet face-to-face, I hand over the cash, they send the coins. End of story. I never knew, and I could NEVER know, where those coins came from three, five, or ten hops earlier. Then one day NEAR Intents decided to play God. They froze my entire 10 BTC — every single satoshi — sitting in a non-custodial deposit address. On-chain confirmed. My NEAR account still shows zero. Weeks have turned into months. No timeline. No appeal. Just an endless “compliance review” while my life savings rot in digital jail. A blockchain expert traced the trail for me. Guess what? I was the 10th address in the chain. TEN steps removed from the original hacker wallet. I didn’t steal anything. I didn’t hack anyone. I simply accepted coins the same way every retail trader on this planet does. So tell me — why the hell are they punishing ME instead of hunting the real North Korean hackers? Why seize an innocent trader’s money while the actual criminals keep laughing and draining more wallets? Why is my cash — the real, physical cash I handed to clients — now collateral damage in their little power game? This isn’t decentralization. This isn’t “intent-based freedom.” This is the biggest, ugliest decentralized SCAM ever sold to retail. They marketed NEAR Intents as sovereign, private, unstoppable. They bragged about “Confidential Intents.” They promised us we would finally escape banks and governments. And the second a chain-analysis flag pops up, they flip the switch and STEAL your funds like any centralized exchange. They even banned me from their Telegram for the crime of asking “When do I get my money back?” Retail friends… this is the moment we all wake up. Every time you bridge, every time you swap, every time you trust one of these “decentralized” protocols — you are rolling the dice with your future

Mixer is outdated. You can swap into Zcash then Monero via defi platforms, then go back to whatever coin or token or stablecoin. No traceability and no KyC. NEAR Intents has great rate especially for high volume swap. With 5 figures or more it has same rate and liquidity as CEXes.

tldr; IronClaw, launched at NEARCON 2026, is a secure, open-source AI agent runtime built in Rust with cryptographic security. It addresses AI agent security concerns by isolating tools in sandboxes and encrypting sensitive data. This ensures agents can perform tasks like fraud detection, project management, and financial transactions without compromising user data. IronClaw operates on NEAR's blockchain, offering verifiable identity, cross-chain operations, and secure execution. While promising, real-world stress testing and industry benchmarks are needed to validate its potential. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

tldr; The crypto market is up today due to a $61 billion increase in total market cap, now at $2.31 trillion, despite geopolitical tensions. Bitcoin remains below the $70,000 resistance, needing a catalyst to break $72,294. Altcoins like Near Protocol (NEAR) saw significant gains, with NEAR rising 23% and testing $1.50 resistance. Positive inflows and bullish momentum are driving the market, but failure to maintain this could lead to pullbacks. Regulatory uncertainty and global market conditions also influence the crypto landscape. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

Buy…NEAR?

tldr; OpenClaw and IronClaw are two AI agent frameworks with distinct philosophies. OpenClaw, created by Peter Steinberger, is a Node.js/TypeScript bot that runs locally, offering ease of use but posing significant security risks due to its root-level access. IronClaw, developed by NEAR AI, addresses these vulnerabilities with a Rust-based architecture, employing WebAssembly sandboxes, encrypted environments, and secure key handling. While OpenClaw is suitable for casual use, IronClaw is the preferred choice for Web3 and financial applications requiring robust security. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

Just buy RWA , Interoperable and Privacy coins like XRP , SOL , ZEBEC , ONDO , ROSE , AVAX , NEAR , KSM , DASH , AlGO , SUI and wait .

Alexbobica

I have been accumulating AI altcoins for a long time. TAO is also one of my investments alongside AIOZ and NEAR. My bags are down too, but I decided to hodl and wait. It will be fine. Still patient, still stick to the strategy.

ZoyanAli

Sell all of them except NEAR. buy NEAR with all remaining funds..

Small_Floor7106

Loads of supposedly good coins are back to or below bear market levels. Like INJ and NEAR. Are these worth buying now? They're still med- low market cap despite their increased supply

Django_McFly

SUI seems like it's on it's way to well funded irrelevance. NEAR has the intents bridging thing going well but I don't know. Near vs SUI is like the crow vs the rat in the battle for the trash can.

Best-Jackfruit5593

Playing the devil’s advocate here, didn’t NEAR also have the AI hype? Yet, it’s not doing great. What makes you think TAO will do any better?

Fearless_Agent_1985

NEAR protocol been shipping amazing products recently near intents: anywhere to any chain swap protocol (9b+ in vol now) near ai cloud: intel tdx & Nvidia tee hardware encrypted env new governance decision: validator + inflation changes so many much more that i cannot conclude in one post All look good on the long run

Best-Jackfruit5593

What’s your thoughts on $NEAR? You still think it’s a solid project that has public traction? They’ve been going down a steep decline. I’m sensing another DOT situation

dirkseyboy78

ETH AVAX ADA NEAR RENDER SOLANA ONDO SUI INJECTIVE Some of these I bought high and they are completely destroyed right now but long-term I have faith in all of them.

ThePugz

Now it did and my limit order was executed. Now I’ll put in another limit order lower. Also moved money over to buy more. It’s like a late Xmas present! Still NOWHERE NEAR $50K LMMFAO

noviwu97

Some people never learn... how many of the "real & amazing tech" L1 from 2021 is practically a zombie now? People used to say the exact same thing to DOT, ATOM, XTZ, ADA, CRO, NEAR, FTM, ONE, etc

Pretty simple if you did any amount of research beyond chart watching. Internet Computer is the evolution of ethereum, and is already what ethereum is trying to be..a “world computer”. You can run full stack applications on ICP, that are fully on the blockchain..unlike every other blockchain that claims to do this, but then uses AWS to host frontend or backend code. It is by far the most advanced project in the entire space, and is a true web3 solution. The closest competitor to this project is NEAR, and they also rely on web2 dependencies.
