👀 Local top risk is real from here on $NEAR
The recent pump looked more leverage than spot.
OI went from ~$100M → nearly $1B. Spot demand didn’t keep up. Once leverage hit that zone, spot selling got heavier.
That’s the setup: too much leverage under an alt move, bigger wallets selling spot, and it only takes a spark.
Then the spark arrived.
NEAR Intents confirmed a security incident — ~$3.8M loss from a bug in Omni deposit/withdraw ↔ Intents contracts. Vulnerability patched. Team says funds will be reimbursed. Core services resuming. Deposits/withdrawals on several chains (incl. BSC, Polygon, TON, other EVMs) paused ~12h while they trace.
ZachXBT flagged odd BSC hot-wallet flows; some funds reportedly hit KuCoin then moved toward BTC.
I’m not calling the hack a manipulation story.
I am saying: $1B leverage + heavy spot selling + bad news on the heels of a vertical is when I stop celebrating and start watching liquidation risk.
