In Q3, @NEARProtocol continued to make strides in positioning itself as a go-to player for cross-chain swaps powered by NEAR Intents.
NEAR closed Q3 2025 with a $3.3B market cap, up 24.3% QoQ, and $234.9M in volume processed through NEAR Intents.
As NEAR advances its vision of becoming the blockchain for AI and chain abstraction, real ecosystem growth is taking shape across cross-chain infrastructure, DeFi, and user-owned AI.
So let me get this straight...
$NEAR basically just had its halving event and now there is a $120 million dollar digital asset fund dedicated to buying spot NEAR coins???

Everyone's talking about AI agents. But remember, they’re only as good as the data they've been trained on
They need verified, decentralized, and high quality datasets to be smarter, faster, and more reliable 🧠
We’re not riding the AI agent wave, we’re fueling it 🚀
Bitcoin just shattered the $100K barrier! 💥
This historic moment sets the stage for projects within the Bitcoin ecosystem to soar ����
Hope our community is ready for a Bitcoin DeFi Future 😜
Anyone interested in the state of AI in the @solana ecosystem needs to read this.
@knimkar gives us a glimpse of what has been developing, what to expect in the future, and what we need in order to get there.
As mentioned by Kuleen, projects such as Synesis and @getgrass_io are paving the way for an open AI data infrastructure to tackle the data bottlenecks when it comes to open and decentralized AI stack.
We are always open to collaborating with other projects that need any kind of data sourcing or preprocessing to power a truly open, decentralized AI! So don't hesitate to reach out :)
$NEAR is one of my highest conviction #Altcoins this cycle.
- Weekly RSI looks amazing. THere is a clear bull flag pattern on the weekly.
I believe that NEAR Protocol has a good progression and hype this Cycle. What do you think about NEAR? #Crypto AI is the main narrative with memes.
Not financial advice
Chads, have you ever looked at @NEARProtocol and thought, “This thing is a sleeping giant”? Let me tell you why #NEAR is not just waking up—but why it’s headed straight for $142.37 faster than you can say “blockchain revolution.” 🤑🫰
