#nearintents用户付费超2900万美元
$NEAR What’s really worth paying attention to isn’t the $29 million.
Today, many people are sharing the news that “NEAR Intents users have paid over $29 million in fees.”
But I’m more interested in the second half:
About $5.3 million of that has already been used to buy back NEAR on the open market. And the pace of buybacks is clearly accelerating.
Buybacks totaled about $723,000 in August, then jumped to $1.84 million in September—roughly 2.5 times higher in a single month.
The logic is simple: Intents transaction volume rises → fees are generated → NEAR captures a portion of the revenue → that revenue is used to buy back NEAR.
Intents’ 30-day transaction volume is now close to $5 billion, with cumulative volume exceeding $32 billion.
So what NEAR really needs to prove now isn’t whether it can tell an “AI story.”
It’s this:
Can Intents consistently generate real transactions, and can the revenue from those transactions continue to flow back to NEAR itself?
