NEAR Protocol
Why NEAR Protocol is down 13.4% today
Analysis
NEAR fell 13.4% over the past 24 hours as traders reacted to reports that Arthur Hayes sold his entire NEAR position, a move that can weigh on sentiment and trigger follow-on selling. The Block reported Hayes exited both HYPE and NEAR while pointing to macro/political catalysts like upcoming AI IPOs and the US midterms as part of his rationale, which likely added to near-term risk-off positioning in NEAR.
