📊 $NEAR vs $XRP: Shipped Product vs Pending Legislation
Most traders are focused on $XRP September seasonality (historical average +17%) and the pending CLARITY Act.
The recent data on $NEAR points in a different direction.
What actually happened:
On September 17, NEAR launched confidential perpetual futures via Hyperliquid.
No public wallet exposure. $70M TVL was pulled in immediately, with an incentive mechanism activating at $3.33.
This is a live product with measurable usage.
**Meanwhile $XRP:
Still trading 48% below its January 2025 high.
Its standout moment in 2026 was a 30% gain in August (vs BTC’s 25%).
The CLARITY Act remains stalled after the Senate cloture failure.
**Key takeaway:
In the current data, a shipped product with real TVL is outperforming pending legislation and seasonal narratives.
At what price level would you start accumulating $NEAR or do you view the $70M TVL as mostly incentive farming?
