NEAR Protocol is making a name for itself in the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem with its growing activity as a Layer 1 blockchain. The protocol’s cross-chain swap product, NEAR Intents, generated enough revenue to finance a NEAR token buyback worth approximately $2.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2026.
This figure is already approaching the $3.07 million spent on buybacks in the third quarter of 2026 even though the fourth quarter is not yet halfway over. Under the buyback program, which began in February 2026, the protocol has purchased approximately $8 million worth of NEAR tokens to date.
