NEAR Intents Records Unprecedented Transaction Volume, Fueling Optimism for Price Recovery

In November, NEAR Intents achieved an all-time high in daily fee revenue. Simultaneously, its daily trading volume surged tenfold compared to the previous quarter. Yet, the price of NEAR continued to present a lackluster performance, remaining within its 2025 accumulation range.

Key Takeaways

How NEAR Intents Could Serve as a Catalyst for a Price Surge in Late 2025

NEAR Intents is a multichain trading protocol operating on the NEAR Protocol, a blockchain platform that emphasizes artificial intelligence and abstracting chains.

The protocol eases user experience by eliminating the need for complex manual tasks such as bridging tokens, managing gas fees across different networks, or handling intermediate steps in transactions. NEAR Intents enables users—or AI agents—to express an “intent” for the desired transaction outcome, and subsequently automates the whole process, providing a more streamlined and efficient experience.

According to Dune Analytics, NEAR Intents’ daily fee revenue has reached a record of over $400,000, elevating total cumulative fees above $10 million. Furthermore, daily trading volumes have consistently been above $150 million, demonstrating a tenfold increase from the previous quarter.

The NEAR Protocol has also recently reported that its 30-day cumulative trading volume has exceeded $3 billion. A Bitwise report highlighted that for the week starting November 10, 2025, NEAR Intents recorded an impressive $969 million in trading volume. Bitwise anticipates that NEAR Intents will expand its weekly trading volume more than tenfold, potentially reaching $10 billion by June 2026.

Such growth is expected to positively affect the NEAR token.

"NEAR’s token model is structured to capture value from AI-native activities. This encompasses intent-routing fees, infrastructure services, and model execution, going beyond traditional blockspace monetization," stated Bitwise.

Moreover, a report from CoinMetrics emphasized the importance of the Zashi wallet, which integrates seamlessly with NEAR Intents, allowing for smooth multichain swaps into shielded ZEC. As a result, ZEC held in shield pools has reached new peaks due to the growing demand for privacy.

Consequently, investors are increasingly gravitating towards NEAR Intents, with ZEC trading now accounting for about 10% of the protocol’s daily volume, averaging around $15 million per day.

NEAR’s Price Remains Stuck Within the 2025 Accumulation Range

Despite these significant developments, NEAR’s price has remained stagnant, trapped in its 2025 accumulation range. TradingView data indicates that NEAR has fluctuated between $1.90 and $3.10 since the beginning of the year.

Analyst Vespamatic attributes this stagnation to the recent decline in Bitcoin's price. This downward pressure may lead to further declines in altcoins, regardless of their strong fundamentals.

“NEAR risks falling to $0.6 if Bitcoin drops to $84,000. In a bear market, nearly 99% of altcoins might be wiped out, even if they possess solid fundamentals," Vespamatic predicted.

Nevertheless, analysts noted that NEAR’s current price near $1.90 aligns with a crucial support level for the year. Coupled with recent positive catalysts, this could set the stage for a potential price rebound.
