NEAR continues to surge, breaking through $3.5, with its 24-hour gain expanding to 30.9%.

BlockBeats news, September 18, according to HTX market data, NEAR continued to surge past $3.5, currently quoted at $3.51, with its 24-hour gain expanding to 30.9%.

BlockBeats previously reported that NEAR is repositioning itself as the underlying infrastructure for multi-chain transactions and AI agents: users do not need to understand the complex structure of blockchain, as wallets and agents can automatically complete cross-chain transactions, swaps, and payments.

NEAR's investment logic is shifting from a high-performance Layer 1 to chain abstraction, cross-chain settlement, and AI agent infrastructure, attempting to gain greater growth space from the multi-chain ecosystem.
