NEAR Protocol
Why NEAR Protocol is down 1.9% in the last hour
Analysis
NEAR Protocol (NEAR) slipped 1.9% over the past hour as attention rotated toward larger smart-contract ecosystems, with The Block noting Ethereum is closing the gap with Solana as DEX volumes converge near $45B—an update that can pull near-term focus and liquidity toward ETH/SOL narratives rather than smaller L1s like NEAR. Broader “buy the dip” commentary centered on Bitcoin from BeInCrypto may also have kept flows concentrated in BTC instead of altcoins during the hour, pressuring NEAR slightly.
