Why NEAR Protocol is down 4.1% today

Analysis

NEAR Protocol (NEAR) fell 4.1% over the past 24 hours despite a governance-related headline: The Block reported that Helius CEO Mert Mumtaz joined the NEAR Foundation Council. The announcement appears to have provided limited immediate buying support, and the token moved lower alongside broader market selling rather than on any clearly positive catalyst from the news itself.
