Why NEAR Protocol is down 1.6% in the last hour

Analysis

NEAR Protocol (NEAR) slipped about 1.6% over the last hour as traders reacted to reports that Arthur Hayes sold his entire NEAR position, a move that can add short-term sell pressure and dampen sentiment. The Block reported Hayes exited both HYPE and NEAR, citing a shift in focus toward AI IPOs and the US midterms, which likely contributed to the immediate pullback in NEAR.
