$130.7M moved through NEAR's swap router in 24 hours. The catch: that's throughput, not NEAR being bought.
The Intents dashboard shows the same pace all week — $145M Thursday, $139M Sunday, $4.5B over the last 30 days (DeFiLlama). A cross-chain router doing its job. Most of that volume is other assets moving between chains; the biggest route lately was shielded ZEC into BTC.
The myth is reading router throughput as token demand. The token tells its own story: $NEAR tapped $5.14 today after washing out to $4.62, but it still sits ~18% under the $6.00 Oct 12 top — and it's up ~220% since the August low. This tape is extended, not early.
Levels I'm watching: the $4.62–$4.87 shelf has to hold — a daily close under $4.60 breaks the reclaim. Above, $5.14, then the $6.00 top.
What would it take for $4.5B a month of router usage to actually reach the token — fee accrual, staking demand, or is the link just narrative? NFA. DYOR.
