Why NEAR Protocol is up 1.5% in the last hour
Analysis
NEAR Protocol (NEAR) rose 1.5% over the past hour, likely reflecting a broader, short-term crypto market bid rather than NEAR-specific catalysts. The only notable item in the feed was a report about scammers demanding crypto “clearance” fees from ships near the Strait of Hormuz, which is a negative security/crime headline and not directly related to NEAR’s fundamentals or ecosystem activity.
