NEAR is betting big on multi-chain liquidity connectivity through NEAR Intents. This new standard enables large-scale stablecoin transactions between Ethereum, Solana, Tron, Ton, and Layer-2s at extremely low costs.
NEAR aims to improve capital efficiency and become the “unified liquidity layer” for all on-chain transactions. The question is: Can this strategic move be strong enough to push NEAR’s price up after a long accumulation phase?

NEAR Wants to Become the Liquidity Hub of Web3
According to the latest update from NEAR Protocol, NEAR Intents was introduced as a new standard for large-scale stablecoin transactions. It aims to enable stablecoin swaps of up to $1 million across different chains efficiently and securely.
“Today marks the next step – it’s now the best place to swap stablecoins in size, 1:1 with minimal fees.” NEAR’s Co-Founder stated
Some analysts have described NEAR Intents as a “cypherpunk liquidity engine” that could change how stablecoins operate across multiple chains.
In practice, if NEAR Intents gains wide adoption, it could theoretically increase stablecoin volume, boost transaction fees, and create demand for the NEAR token (if a proper fee capture mechanism is implemented).
However, real success depends on whether NEAR can share this economic value with its native token. If not, most benefits will go to upper-layer applications instead of being reflected in the token price.

NEAR Shows Signs of Long-term Accumulation Before A Breakout
The NEAR ecosystem also shows positive recovery in terms of user activity and capital inflows. Data showed that NEAR is among the blockchains with the highest monthly active users.
Moreover, Grayscale revealed that NEAR is one of the largest holdings in its Grayscale Decentralized AI Fund, reflecting strong long-term institutional confidence.
From a technical perspective, many analysts believe NEAR has been in an accumulation phase throughout 2025. Michaël van de Poppe states that the market could witness a strong breakout if the price breaks above the $3.25–$3.50 resistance range.
Meanwhile, another analyst pointed out that an “Inverse Head & Shoulders” pattern is forming on the daily chart.
“Break above the neckline (~$3.3) could confirm a bullish reversal. Technical target sits around $4.78 once breakout holds,” the analyst commented.
BeInCrypto recently reported that Near Protocol has surpassed Solana in daily active users, ranking second among Layer 1 blockchains. Analysts consider NEAR undervalued, with a price target of $10.82, representing a potential upside of 315%.
However, data from BeInCrypto shows that NEAR’s price is still down more than 37% year-over-year and 86% below its 2022 ATH, indicating that the market is still waiting for clear confirmation from liquidity and capital inflows.
