How NEAR Intents Became a Late-2025 Catalyst for NEAR’s Price
NEAR Intents is a multichain trading protocol built on NEAR Protocol, a blockchain platform focused on AI and chain abstraction.
The protocol removes the need for users to perform complex manual actions. These include bridging tokens, managing gas fees across multiple networks, or handling intermediate steps. NEAR Intents allows users—or AI agents—to express an “intent” for the desired outcome. The protocol then automates the entire process, delivering a smooth and efficient experience.
According to Dune Analytics, NEAR Intents’ daily fee revenue reached a record level of more than $400,000. This pushed total cumulative fees above $10 million. Meanwhile, daily trading volume consistently remained above $150 million, representing a tenfold increase from the previous quarter.

However, analysts also noted that NEAR’s current price near $1.9 aligns with the year’s strongest support. Combined with recent positive catalysts, this level may set the stage for a potential price rebound.
