Why NEAR Protocol is up 4.9% today
Analysis
NEAR rose 4.9% over the past 24 hours amid reports of growing institutional exposure, after BeInCrypto noted Bitwise’s NEAR ETP surpassing $100M—an indicator of stronger demand for NEAR-linked products. The move was also supported by a broader altcoin short squeeze, with U.Today reporting NEAR among the leaders as short sellers faced heavy liquidations, which can amplify upside momentum.
