NEAR Protocol Soars 80% in One Week, New Futures Platform Fuels Growth
The NEAR Protocol has experienced an impressive surge in price over the past week, increasing by more than 80%. This significant gain has seen the token's value rise from approximately $2.20 to over $4.
Recent network metrics have also shown an uptick in activity, with the total value locked (TVL) standing near $190 million and daily decentralized exchange (DEX) trading volume reaching around $84.19 million. This growth is accompanied by a notable increase in active wallet addresses, with over 52,000 users participating in the network.
The introduction of a new confidential perpetual futures platform powered by Hyperliquid has also contributed to the token's recent success. This innovative feature enables traders to execute trades without publicly exposing their account information or positions.
