If privacy is really getting a bigger bid this cycle then $NEAR belongs at top in that conversation..
I say this with 100% conviction because how many normal crypto activities it’s bringing privacy to:
- payments, so sending someone money doesn’t reveals about what else you hold and do onchain
- swaps, so your buys and sells are not exposed
- now perps powered by Hyperliquid, with positions harder to link to your main account
i think the demand is pretty obvious.. people want to trade without their wallet becoming a public diary
NEAR doesn’t have to turn all those people into holders to get them using its tech
but if the experience is good enough, i can see privacy becoming a reason traders choose it and stay..
