🚀 Why is $NEAR one of the best-performing tokens lately?
1.Over 98% (basically 100%) of all $NEAR tokens have already been unlocked, meaning there is little to no remaining unlock-related selling pressure.
2.The only ongoing supply increase comes from the protocol’s ~2.5% annual inflation, which rewards validators and stakers.
3.Meanwhile, 70% of base transaction fees are burned, and 100% of NEAR Intents fees are used to buy back $NEAR directly — creating powerful buy pressure as usage grows. This reduces the net inflation rate to roughly 1.5–2.5% (or even deflationary during high activity).
4.On top of that, many large NEAR holders are long-term believers in the ecosystem rather than short-term sellers.
