NEAR Protocol Drives $130 Million Swap Surge to Storm $5 Level

Image: U.Today

The NEAR Protocol ecosystem has reached peak operational efficiency metrics. Over the last 24 hours, transaction volume through the NEAR Intents cross-chain swap protocol hit $130.7 million. The current surge keeps the platform's 30-day turnover at $4.59 billion, and cumulative trading volume since launch has exceeded $35 billion. At the same time, the native NEAR token has settled in the $4.97–$5.10 range, quickly buying back the short-term market dip to $4.62. Large capital is clearly entering the network for specific practical purposes rather than for speculation. Daily activity was driven by a sharp surge in demand for protected transactions, which now generate almost a tenth (9.4%) of NEAR Intents' total monthly volume. In monetary terms, this hidden liquidity flow amounted to $91.9 million.
