NEAR Rises 5% on AI Staking Milestone as DFINITY Founder Questions Its Tech

  • —NEAR trades at $5.29, up 5% on the day
  • —596 million NEAR staked, 46% of supply, at a 4.87% yield
  • —Near Intents volume hit $35.6 billion, 14.6x year over year
  • —Williams says Confidential Intents runs on centralized nodes with no open-source code
Why it matters: The privacy dispute could weigh on confidence in NEAR, though staking and volume growth are still supporting the price.
