There's no such thing as a bigger disconnect at this point, than with $NEAR.
Intents going absolutely parabolic. Revenue shooting up.
Price about to break, and then a market-wide correction.
Watch our episode with Illia about $NEAR here:

Now, I've mentioned this a few times before.
Before this dip occurred on $NEAR, it provided a massive opportunity to be accumulating this position.
Therefore, I would suggest to be looking at position-building into the entire AI vertical, as that is one of the key verticals in the coming period.
Aside from that, once $BTC has found a bottom, the assets that were moving the fastest prior to the correction are going to be the ones bounces back the fastest.
1/ The market is beginning to recognize the current state of @NEARProtocol, with public dashboards showing it as a top-tier L1 for fee generation (~$1.9M in the last 7 days).
This is a strong validation of network traction.
NEAR Intents = The Universal Liquidity Layer
0 to $1B in volume — 305 days
$1B to $2B in volume — 35 days
$2B to $3B in volume — 20 days
$3B to $4B in volume — 8 days
NEAR has successfully completed its halving upgrade on mainnet.
This upgrade reduces the maximum annual inflation rate of NEAR Protocol from 5% to 2.5%, ushering in an era of more sustainable tokenomics and strengthening incentive alignment across the NEAR ecosystem.
@KamBenbrik@NEARProtocol Your accusation is not based on facts. I would urge whoever still staking with chorus one to remove their stake. The fees are too high anyways.
Here is the results of the mentioned on-chain voting:
https://t.co/JIjD1VLuTO
It was incredible to see participation of 89 validators and 48.45% of total stake in the voting process, that required to issue a custom on-chain transaction from the pool owners account.
The overwhelming majority of 91.76% of stake-weighted validators voted YES for reducing the inflation. Some people argue that not-voting was implicit NO, but that's a bit flawed, since some validators (exchanges, institutions, staking providers) have to stay neutral and abstain. The problem is there were no ABSTAIN vote in the on-chain contract, so they couldn't have express their opinion this way.
The voting has ended without reaching the consensus threshold.
Currently, the protocol upgrade to 2.9.0 introduced the inflation reduction. Validators have to decide by either upgrading or not, which is a bit problematic, because there is no abstain option again.
As a NEAR stake holder who supports the inflation reduction, make sure to move your stake to a staking pool that voted FOR reducing inflation. If you are AGAINST the inflation reduction, move your stake to the pool that voted NO for reducing inflation.
The protocol upgrade voting is scheduled to start on October, 28 and will last for 3 weeks. So there is plenty of time to decide.

Halving would strengthen the NEAR tokenomics and incentivize the growth of NEAR's defi ecosystem. If you are a NEAR validator, please support the upgrade!
$NEAR is accumulating for the entire year of 2025.
That's nearly 9 months of accumulation.
Once it breaks through the resistance of $3.25-3.50 I assume it will be a strong breakout.
