Why NEAR Protocol is down 4.2% today

Analysis

NEAR fell 4.2% over the past 24 hours as the market appeared to treat recent ecosystem governance news as non-catalytic in the near term. The main headline was The Block reporting that Helius CEO Mert Mumtaz joined the NEAR Foundation Council, but the announcement didn’t come with immediate product, revenue, or network-usage updates that typically drive short-term upside.
