NEAR Protocol
Why NEAR Protocol is down 1.3% in the last hour
Analysis
NEAR dipped 1.3% over the past hour as attention rotated toward major smart-contract ecosystems highlighted in broader market coverage, with The Block noting Ethereum’s DEX volumes closing the gap with Solana near $45B—potentially drawing near-term focus and liquidity away from smaller L1s like NEAR. Meanwhile, BeInCrypto’s “buy the dip” framing around Bitcoin may have kept sentiment centered on BTC rather than altcoins, contributing to mild selling pressure in NEAR during the hour.
