Why NEAR Protocol is up 1.3% in the last hour
Analysis
NEAR Protocol (NEAR) rose 1.3% over the past hour amid a broader uplift in smart-contract and DeFi-related tokens after a major DEX-volume update highlighted strong activity across leading chains. The Block reported that Ethereum is closing the gap with Solana as DEX volumes converge near $45 billion, which can support risk-on sentiment for the wider DeFi ecosystem and spill over into assets like NEAR.
