Investors underestimate institutional adoption and token buybacks in NEAR and Hyperliquid networks.

Ryan Rasmussen, Head of Research at Bitwise, highlights growing institutional adoption and revenue-driven token buybacks in NEAR and Hyperliquid (HYPE) networks. NEAR's Intents trading infrastructure saw a 900% increase in activity, generating $5.3 million in token buybacks since February, though buybacks still lag behind new token issuance. Hyperliquid attracts traditional investors with a revenue model where 99% of trading fees buy back HYPE tokens, resembling familiar equity concepts. Additional demand drivers include ETFs and digital asset treasury companies, though risks remain from competition and regulatory changes. Rasmussen believes rising institutional adoption will significantly impact these networks' growth and asset outlook.

As of Oct 15, 2026 01:31 WIB, NEAR trades at Rp85.811 on Pluang, down 4.32% in the last day, with a market cap of Rp113.56 trillion and strong buying interest at 80% of orders. HYPE is priced at Rp1.425.938, down 1.91%, with a market cap of Rp365.83 trillion and 77% of orders buying. Typical hold times are 50 days for NEAR and 37 days for HYPE, showing active engagement despite recent price declines.
