[NEAR weekly increase close to 100%: Options airdrop mechanism draws $65 million in a single day]
NEAR’s recent price has been approaching a near doubling, with the key driver being its distinctive “options-style airdrop” mechanism. This mechanism stipulates that only when the NEAR price remains continuously and stably above $3.33 will the incentive granted to users be unlocked at a 1:1 ratio. This design quickly attracted approximately $65 million in new capital flowing into the market. Meanwhile, NEAR has enabled privacy-preserving perpetual trading by integrating with Hyperliquid, bringing chain abstraction and privacy functionality into real trading scenarios by leveraging existing liquidity. This rally is not simply a spin-off of privacy-related narratives; rather, it is the combined result of an incentive mechanism, product deployment, and broader privacy market momentum. Market capital is now providing tangible validation for NEAR’s privacy story through this design that comes with exercise conditions. Going forward, it will be important to closely watch whether the critical $3.33 level can continue to hold above, and to what extent the activity of privacy trading on Hyperliquid translates into an actual contribution to liquidity.
