One partnered with the UFC to reach 700 million fans, and the other partnered with Yahoo Finance to provide odds-based predictive insight into real-world events.
NEAR price analysis

Professional trader and investor Michael van de Poppe believes this is a good entry point and says that at this price, “NEAR is a bargain.” Nevertheless, the token tends to be affected by other market conditions that can affect its performance, including Bitcoin. BTC 86 707 dollars 24 hour volatility: 2.2% Market capitalization: $1.74 trillion Vol. 24 hours: $6.861 billion Price movements and macroeconomics.
So it's a great time to get a position.
I don't think I've ever seen a market as irrationally undervalued as it is at this time.
Anyway, $NEAR is a bargain.
NEAR Intents is exploding strongly and the price of $NEAR is simply falling.
