NEAR price rose 198% in Q3, with AI as the next catalyst still awaiting validation.
CoinWorld data: NEAR cryptocurrency rose 198% in the third quarter of 2026. Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan noted in an October 7 memo that NEAR's cumulative intent transaction volume has exceeded $30 billion and is expected to generate about $45 million in fees this year. He said AI is the bigger opportunity, but the existing business does not depend on its arrival. The NEAR network calls itself "the blockchain for AI," but its most tangible appeal comes from ordinary users. NEAR intents allow users to move between blockchains without dealing with the usual multiple wallets, bridges, and exchanges. Bitwise reported that NEAR's performance does not prove that AI triggered this rise, but rather reflects a combination of existing network activity and a long-term AI vision.
