pretty crazy 40%+ move on $NEAR since i dropped this ($1.30 -> $1.84), tbh moved faster than i expected but there is a long way to go if the thesis holds -- congrats if this influenced you to size in w/ me i continue to remain bullish on these assets ($VVV, $NEAR) and think they will continue to re-rate drastically over the coming weeks and months

Who are the participants positioned on $NEAR? In my view, NEAR is a candidate to become the NVIDIA of AI in crypto. If NVIDIA is at the center of AI hardware, Illia Polosukhin, co‑founder of NEAR Protocol, is also one of the key figures at the heart of modern AI. Polosukhin is one of the authors of the famous Transformer architecture paper, which underlies virtually all advanced AI models today, including ChatGPT and Gemini. This gives NEAR a direct intellectual depth and credibility in AI that sets it apart from many other crypto projects. This analogy goes beyond abstraction: NEAR AI has joined NVIDIA’s Inception program, gaining access to NVIDIA’s technical expertise and advanced GPU infrastructure to develop enterprise‑grade, verifiable, privacy‑focused AI infrastructure. Moreover, Illia Polosukhin is one of the few crypto leaders personally invited to speak about AI‑blockchain convergence at major NVIDIA conferences. NVIDIA is a company that sells the infrastructure needed to train AI models. NEAR Protocol positions itself as a foundational layer for decentralized AI. Through the NEAR AI initiative, they aim to build a foundation that protects data privacy, ensures model verifiability, and enables AI agents to interact economically with each other or with users in a secure manner. If the criteria are to be at the heart of the AI hype, provide core infrastructure/technology, and have visionary leaders shaping AI’s direction, then my analogy of NEAR as the “NVIDIA of crypto” is one of the most grounded and sensible comparisons in the market. There is also a little‑known relationship between NEAR and Zcash. This relationship is based on a strategic partnership focused on seamless cross‑chain access and data privacy. By integrating Zcash into the NEAR Intents infrastructure, users can transfer over 100 assets directly to privacy‑focused $ZEC pools with a single click on NEAR, without needing complex bridge transactions. NEAR, which places great emphasis on data privacy in its AI vision, draws from Zcash’s long‑standing leadership in zero‑knowledge technology, while Zcash expands its use cases by integrating with NEAR’s broad liquidity and user‑friendly multi‑chain ecosystem. Moreover, over the past year NEAR has entered one of its peak periods of active usage and on‑chain data volume, driven solely by AI integrations and multi‑chain user experience. In summary, friends, when the bull market arrives, NEAR should definitely be in your AI investment basket.

People can chase $HYPE all they want but $NEAR is my baby and Im anticipating a big move higher My last buy was at 1.16. Proof that laggards can become leaders as long as we choose the right charts https://t.co/1IE5w9UUda

near:native Here we go! Bitcoin is red for the day but NEAR is pumping because we said so. It's in our short area, pay attention. https://t.co/iD6ks0YZVd

$NEAR now at $1.76. That $1.49 retest entry is playing out nicely. Looking for another move up to the initial $1.86 target. https://t.co/b0rcVsKfte

No more bridging, routing, or juggling transactions manually. Just express an intent and let the system handle execution. Join NEAR Head of Partnerships Dillion Freeman for this space hosted by @Ledger on how NEAR Intents removes the complexity. https://t.co/FjeXlOSg44
