NEAR Surges 5% Despite Volatile Trading as Grayscale Adds Token

NEAR Protocol posts 5% gains in the 24-hour period ending 9 July 15:00, closing at $2.27 despite heavy volatility.

The rally coincides with Grayscale’s quarterly rebalancing, positioning NEAR at 28.41% of its Decentralized AI Fund.

The move comes amid renewed optimism across the altcoin sector, with analysts calling for a long-awaited “altcoin season,” which would likely occur if bitcoin (BTC) breaks a new record high and consolidates, prompting a capital flow to altcoins.
