Why NEAR Protocol is up 1.5% in the last hour

Analysis

NEAR Protocol (NEAR) rose about 1.5% over the past hour, but there wasn’t NEAR-specific positive news in the provided headlines to clearly explain the move. The only relevant item was a broader crypto-related report about scammers demanding crypto “clearance” fees from ships near the Strait of Hormuz, which is not directly tied to NEAR’s fundamentals or ecosystem and may simply have coincided with general market positioning rather than driving NEAR specifically.
