The NEAR protocol has become the best performing protocol in 2025, up 4% in 24 hours after the market fell 1.18%. Key drivers include network upgrades that reduce annual token inflation from 5% to 2.5%, strategic partnerships with Everclear, Aptos and Shelby, and a staking return of 9.88%. With a market capitalization of up to US$2.93 billion and strongly attracted the attention of institutional investors, NEAR's development trajectory reflects the growing market demand for high-growth, artificial intelligence-centric blockchain infrastructure.
