NEAR Protocol Hits Top 20 on First-Ever Post-Quantum Asset Launch
NEAR Protocol ($NEAR ) surged 8.7% over the past 24 hours, settling in the $5.31–$5.41 range. With a market capitalization of $7 billion, the asset pushed Stellar (XLM) out of 20th place in the global ranking by CoinGecko.
The culmination of this breakout was a unique precedent for the industry — the commercial launch of the first-ever post-quantum asset on the near.com platform.
It is the native token QTC of the Quantus Network, fully protected against attacks by supercomputers through the ML-DSA cryptographic standard approved by NIST. This step moved theoretical discussions about the quantum threat to Web3 into the realm of real-world products.
The connecting link was the near Intents architecture: the Confidential Intents feature enabled direct and confidential swaps of QTC for more than 180 assets across 30 different blockchains, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana, in a single click directly from wallets, bypassing vulnerable traditional bridges.
$NEAR token rose for two straight months while everyone was watching Bitcoin
This historic launch capped a broad-based near uptrend that had been developing over the past two months. According to weekly TradingView charts, the asset had been steadily breaking out of a prolonged accumulation phase around $1.50–$1.80 since late August.#Write2Earn $NEAR
