$NEAR isn’t just riding the AI narrative.
Bitwise’s thesis is more interesting: NEAR could become a settlement layer for AI agents — handling payments, asset transfers and machine-to-machine coordination.
NEAR Intents has already processed $32B+ across 35+ blockchains.
But the real test is adoption. Most activity is still human-driven.
If AI agents start generating meaningful on-chain activity, $NEAR ’s infrastructure could become much more valuable.
Could NEAR become part of the financial rails for the AI economy?
