$NEAR surged 14% today, reaching $2.22, while open interest jumped 33% to $99M, showing strong trader participation. With circulating and total supply fully unlocked at 1.305B tokens, there are no future unlock risks. Trading volume of $566M is outperforming its market-cap ranking, signaling growing interest. However, funding rates are at their maximum and 65% of traders are long, making the rally vulnerable to a leverage-driven pullback despite strong fundamentals.
