The most-used surface on https://t.co/YBUSFVdjxE isn’t a chain. It’s a route.
USDC to USDT. ZEC to NEAR. BTC to anything.
The destination matters. The chain doesn’t.

Andy says @NEARProtocol looks insane at $2.55 and proved it with the most unhinged buy announcement in recent memory.
"I had to go to the bathroom and just bought more Near."
"Let's go, @ilblackdragon. Get this thing back to 3. Let's go, man. Let's go.
The bathroom break was a catalyst. The conviction is documented.
🆕 Grayscale Research: @NEARProtocol went into building mode after the last cycle.
In 2026, it's back, and the story runs through AI.

NEAR operates one of the most mature and transparent cryptoeconomic systems in the industry.
With NEAR Intents all-time volume now over $19 billion, and NEAR AI powering workloads for major platforms like Venice, Brave, Abound, and more, NEAR is primed to capture value from the growth of both DeFi and the agent economy.
NEAR Intents are the privacy-preserving rails for connecting global liquidity and agentic commerce, with confidential volume growing steadily, support for new asset classes like RWAs, and a key role to play in large stablecoin swaps through the Stablecoin Transport Protocol.
Intents now routes value across 35+ chains, 135+ assets, and is integrated across major DeFi infrastructure, aggregators, and wallets. Over $1.5 billion in ZEC volume has moved across Intents. Since the fee switch went live at NEARCON, NEAR has generated over $8 million in revenue that is directed toward NEAR buybacks.
NEAR’s network fundamentals are designed to accelerate a deflationary economic flywheel through increased network usage and ecosystem growth. The network’s token supply is fully unlocked. The halving upgrade reduced maximum annual inflation by 50%. And core products are generating real, recurring revenue.
This is how NEAR becomes the foundation for the AI economy and the currency of agents.
In an agent economy, the infrastructure layer will capture the most value. Agents will converge on the infrastructure that settles at scale, reaches the most liquidity, and keeps their operations confidential. NEAR has been uniquely architected from the beginning to combine scalable settlement, cross-chain execution, privacy-preserving execution, and private inference all into a single protocol.
@AltcoinSherpa Near was 3.5 or so dollars for ages last year and everyone thought that was the bottom😂 people really forget fast just how bad the last 8 months have been, Near will have its best run for what remains of this year
New members to the $NEAR community are popping up everywhere
David sold his $ETH & put those funds into a new NEAR position as well as ZEC-congrats 👏
I have a small amount of Eth remaining that will buy some $ZEC & $HYPE
Near is 95% of my crypto holdings lol or I’d buy more
Arthur Hayes is calling for a 20x with $NEAR and 5x with $ZEC
Can’t disagree with his thesis in this interview today with @therollupco and @ilblackdragon
@JesusMartinez@NEARProtocol has Market cycle longevity/survival which is a huge thing in nearly every other industry except crypto retail who chase their tales looking for the next new thing
