Why NEAR Protocol is down 6.2% in the last hour

Analysis

NEAR Protocol (NEAR) fell 6.2% over the past hour despite a broadly positive headline: U.Today reported that NEAR hit the top 20 following its first-ever post-quantum asset launch and protocol upgrade. The drop likely reflects short-term profit-taking or a β€œsell-the-news” reaction after the announcement, rather than any negative development reported in the coverage.
