NEAR Protocol
Why NEAR Protocol is up 4.7% today
Analysis
NEAR rose 4.7% over the past 24 hours as traders reacted to reports that Bitwise launched the first US spot NEAR ETF, a development that can increase accessibility and visibility for the asset. CryptoPotato and U.Today both highlighted the ETF going live (with notes on staking-related fees/targets), which likely supported bullish sentiment around NEAR even as broader crypto markets remained mixed with Bitcoin hovering near $84K amid high Treasury yields.
