#nearrisesnearly80%inaweek
๐Ÿš€ NEAR Just Jumped Nearly 80%. But Thereโ€™s a Catch.
NEAR went from roughly $2.20 to $4.29 in a week.
Naturally, everyone started talking about one thing:
๐Ÿ” Privacy.
On Sept. 17, NEAR made confidential perpetual trading the default through Hyperliquid, covering 50+ markets with leverage up to 40x.
Sounds like a new product.
But itโ€™s actually an upgrade to an existing system.
And โ€œconfidentialโ€ doesnโ€™t mean the market disappears. ๐Ÿ‘€
Trader identity and funding links can be shielded, while positions remain visible through Hyperliquidโ€™s trading infrastructure.
Meanwhile, the underlying ecosystem numbers are growing:
๐Ÿ“Š NEAR Intents: $29.3B+ cumulative volume
๐Ÿ” Confidential TVL: $70M+
๐Ÿ’ฐ Network TVL: ~$190M
BUT HEREโ€™S WHAT MANY PEOPLE MISS ๐Ÿ‘€
Price is moving much faster than TVL.
That doesnโ€™t automatically mean the rally is fake.
It means the market is repricing the story faster than the underlying usage is growing.
And NEAR@3.33 adds another variable: incentives can accelerate activity โ€” but the bigger question is what remains after the rewards fade.
So the real test isn't:
โ€œCan NEAR keep pumping?โ€
Itโ€™s:
โ€œCan actual usage catch up with the re-rating?โ€
๐Ÿง  Square Insight:
A product can trigger the rally. Only sustained usage can justify the re-rating.
Do you think NEARโ€™s fundamentals are catching up with its price โ€” or is momentum currently moving faster?
