$NEAR is becoming more than just another fast blockchain, as the price and the trending rate on Bitget show what it is capable of doing. The price climbed from around $2.3 to nearly $5.9 in a month, a gain of roughly 145%. Trading volume has also crossed $1B, bringing more attention to the project.
But the interesting part is what is happening beyond the price. #Bitwise launched its #NEAR ETF on NYSE Arca on September 29, giving traditional investors a new way to gain exposure to it. Meanwhile, NEAR Intents recorded around $4.8B in cross chain volume in September, taking cumulative volume beyond $31B across multiple networks.
There’s also a reason to watch the token’s fundamentals. NEAR’s fee mechanism directs captured revenue from Intents toward token buybacks, linking real usage to demand for NEAR. The project is also building infrastructure for AI agents and has introduced quantum-resistant transaction signing on the mainnet.
For me, the big question now is whether this growth in usage can continue to support the market momentum. After such a strong run, I’d rather watch for a sustainable setup than chase the price.
If you’re following NEAR and $PUMP , Bitget is also hosting the NEAR Trading Club Championship for traders looking to participate in the market action.
