NEAR Protocol
Why NEAR Protocol is down 1.8% in the last hour
Analysis
NEAR fell 1.8% over the past hour as traders digested headlines around Bitwise’s launch of the first US spot NEAR ETF, which can trigger short-term “sell-the-news” profit-taking after NEAR’s sharp run-up since August. CryptoPotato also highlighted that the ETF’s staking structure takes 33% of staking rewards, which may have tempered near-term enthusiasm and added to selling pressure.
