$NEAR posted major news last night: NEAR Intents has been integrated into the institutional trading system Talos and officially launched. The announcement also stated that the system has processed more than $1 trillion in cumulative trading volume.
More practically, institutional clients can now access over 100 assets, more than 35 chains, and cross-chain liquidity from centralized venues directly through their existing order workflows—without having to build a separate setup.
My take is simple: institutions use systems they’ve already refined through daily use. Being able to integrate into those systems makes it more likely they’ll actually place trades through it. The integration itself may not immediately show up in the market; what matters is how many real orders eventually flow through this route.
Do you think being able to access cross-chain liquidity without changing workflows will actually bring in institutional orders, or does it only count once we see the trading volume?
