NEAR Protocol's token surged over 30% to a six-month high above $2.30 after Arthur Hayes, BitMEX co-founder, called it part of crypto's 'holy trinity' alongside Hyperliquid and Zcash. This rally stands out as it occurred during a broader market decline. NEAR is set for a major infrastructure upgrade in June 2026 introducing dynamic resharding, and is advancing AI integrations and post-quantum security. Additionally, Grayscale's pending spot ETF application for NEAR could attract traditional investors, making these developments key catalysts to watch.
