Why NEAR Protocol is down 4.6% today
Analysis
NEAR fell 4.6% over the past 24 hours as broader crypto markets turned risk-off following a liquidation wave that pushed Bitcoin down near $77,700, pressuring altcoins alongside it, per CoinDesk. The pullback also comes after NEAR’s recent AI- and scaling-driven surge highlighted by CoinDesk and The Block, making a modest retracement more likely as momentum cooled.
