Why NEAR Protocol is down 1.3% in the last hour
Analysis
NEAR slipped 1.3% over the past hour as traders appeared to “sell the news” following reports that Bitwise launched the first US spot NEAR ETF, despite the broader milestone being positive. Coverage also highlighted that the ETF’s staking structure takes 33% of staking rewards, which may have tempered immediate enthusiasm and contributed to short-term profit-taking.
