NEAR ranks among the world's top 20: Why Bitwise's Matt Hougan is watching closely

NEAR Protocol's native tokens have risen strongly and ranked among the top 20 in market value.

NEAR Protocol's native tokens have performed strongly recently. While the momentum of the entire cryptocurrency market gradually cooled, NEAR maintained its upward momentum. In the past 30 days, the token has increased by approximately 125%, and despite a correction earlier today, it has managed to rank among the top 20 cryptocurrencies by market value.

According to Bitwise's Matt Hougan, NEAR stands out because its ambitious AI (artificial intelligence) vision is supported by existing actual business activities and revenue.

AI ambition and business reality

NEAR rose 198% in the third quarter, far outperforming Bitcoin and Ethereum. But for Hougan, the bigger highlight is what the project is building and its business trajectory. NEAR calls itself the "AI blockchain" and its long-term goal is to become an AI agent infrastructure that can trade with each other and interact with the wider world.

The main criticism is also clear: Currently, NEAR is not mainly used by AI agents, and its users are still humans. But Hougan said that didn't stop one of its products from gaining significant attention. The cumulative transaction volume currently processed by NEAR Intentions exceeds US$30 billion. Bitwise CIO explained that the product is expected to generate approximately $45 million in fees this year. A portion of this fee is returned to the token holder through repurchase.

Intents 允许用户在无需处理钱包、桥接器和交易所等常规复杂性的情况下跨链操作。一个由被称为“求解器”的市场做市机器人网络在幕后处理交易。对 Hougan 来说,这一点至关重要,因为 Intents 不再仅仅是一个围绕未来 AI 用例构建的产品。他将其描述为当今的“真实业务”。

“即使 AI 智能体从未成为主流,或者 NEAR 没有抓住所有机会,我认为 NEAR 仍然处于有利地位。换句话说,当我投资 NEAR 时,我是在购买一家令人兴奋的区块链企业;而 AI 的宏大愿景则是额外的惊喜。”

上个月,Bitwise 在 NYSE Arca 推出了以 NRR 为代码的现货 NEAR 交易所交易基金(ETF),由 Coinbase Custody 担任托管方。

NEAR Intents 遭遇安全漏洞,损失约 380 万美元

周四,NEAR Intents 遭受了一次安全漏洞攻击,导致约 380 万美元的损失。此次事件迫使该平台暂停服务,并暂时暂停了多个区块链上的存款和提款功能。

根据官方更新,问题源于其 Omni 存取款系统与 NEAR Intents 智能合约之间的一个错误。目前该漏洞已被修复,项目方表示将全额赔偿受影响用户的损失。
