NEAR Enters Crypto Top 20 After 140% Surge in 30 Days

NEAR's re-rating is being driven less by generic Layer 1 rotation than by a specific product metric: cumulative Intents volume crossing a threshold that makes the intent layer legible as real usage rather than roadmap. That distinction matters because it gives the token a narrative tied to measurable throughput, which is scarce among L1s competing for the same attention. The open question is whether Intents volume continues compounding independently of price, since a top-20 market cap now prices in sustained adoption rather than a single product cycle.
