NEAR Protocol
Why NEAR Protocol is down 8.7% today
Analysis
NEAR Protocol (NEAR) fell 8.7% over the past 24 hours after CoinDesk reported that roughly $50 million in swaps tied to the Bitget hacker flowed through NEAR Intents, raising concerns about how “permissionless” and abuse-resistant the system is in practice. The drop was likely compounded by a broader risk-off tone in crypto markets, with CoinDesk noting bearish bitcoin positioning and traders paying up for downside exposure, which can pressure altcoins like NEAR as sentiment deteriorates.
