- Total value locked in NEAR Intents surpassed $207 million, though real-time tracking showed figures around $189 million

The NEAR Protocol token delivered one of the most impressive weekly rallies seen in recent months, soaring approximately 80% across seven days to reach $4.29 on Monday, data from CoinGecko shows. This performance dramatically outpaced the overall cryptocurrency market, which registered only a 6% increase during the same timeframe.
The token rallied from approximately $2.20 in prior weeks, successfully piercing through a multi-year descending trendline and recovering the critical $3.50 resistance threshold. On a 24-hour basis alone, NEAR registered gains of roughly 22% at press time.
Bitcoin’s advance past $86,000 — marking its strongest position since January — provided significant momentum across the cryptocurrency ecosystem. Ethereum pushed above $2,760 while XRP traded near $1.50. The aggregate cryptocurrency market capitalization approached $2.93 trillion. Increasing spot Bitcoin ETF inflows combined with liquidations of short positions contributed additional upward momentum throughout the sector.
Trading Volume and Locked Value Surge on NEAR Intents
NEAR Intents, a platform enabling users to initiate cross-chain exchanges with competing market makers fulfilling orders, achieved $29.3 billion in total historical volume. The platform processed $842 million in transactions during the most recent seven-day window.
Reports indicated that total value locked on NEAR Intents exceeded $207 million, although subsequent DefiLlama data positioned the figure nearer to $189 million, illustrating the fluctuating nature of locked asset valuations.
Bitwise research analyst Camran Khosravi characterized Near and Zcash as “complements,” explaining that Near provides ZEC holders with confidential cross-chain infrastructure alongside liquidity access. He additionally observed that NEAR Intents’ TVL can expand when the value of ZEC already deposited in the platform appreciates, independent of fresh capital inflows.
The privacy-oriented Zcash wallet ZODL emerged as the third-largest referral source by transaction volume on NEAR Intents during a recent 24-hour measurement, producing approximately $3.8 million across 458 separate transactions. One individual ZEC exchange valued at roughly $613,000 represented among the platform’s largest single transactions.
Enhanced Privacy Capabilities and Rewards Initiative
Near Protocol broadened its privacy toolkit last Thursday, establishing deposits and withdrawals for perpetual futures contracts on near.com as confidential by default. This functionality obscures connections between users’ funding wallets and their Hyperliquid trading accounts.
Confidential total value locked on near.com exceeded $70 million, activating the initial snapshot within the NEAR@3.33 rewards initiative. This program distributed 333,333 milestone tokens, which vest and transform into NEAR tokens once the three-day volume-weighted average price reaches or exceeds $3.33.
Cryptocurrency analyst River Of Neurons commented on X that NEAR “staged a powerful vertical rally, gaining roughly 92% from its local accumulation range,” momentarily touching a local high at $4.45. The analyst noted that volume patterns confirmed “aggressive interest from large funds and whales” and emphasized that maintaining the $4 threshold is now essential for continued upward movement.
Near-term resistance zones are positioned between $4.20 and $4.40. The daily Relative Strength Index recently exceeded 63, nearing overbought conditions, while the MACD indicator continues displaying bullish signals. Support levels are identified at $3.80–$3.90 and the prior breakout area of $3.30–$3.50.
