NEAR Protocol
Why NEAR Protocol is up 12.0% today
Analysis
NEAR rose about 12% over the past 24 hours as traders reacted to signs of stronger institutional interest after Bitwise’s NEAR ETP reportedly surpassed $100M, which can bolster sentiment and inflows around the token (BeInCrypto). The move was also amplified by a broader altcoin short squeeze, with NEAR cited as one of the leaders as short sellers faced heavy liquidations over the last day (U.Today).
