NEAR Protocol
Why NEAR Protocol is down 1.2% in the last hour
Analysis
NEAR fell 1.2% over the past hour as traders reacted to negative headlines around NEAR Intents after reports that $50 million in Bitget hacker swaps “put the permissionless claim to the test,” which likely weighed on short-term sentiment. The dip also comes alongside ETF-related coverage (Bitwise’s launch of a US spot NEAR ETF), but the immediate move appears more consistent with the exploit-focused scrutiny than with the longer-horizon ETF narrative.
