NEAR DEX volume was chilling around $37M–$44M from late June to early July…

Then boom, it took off on July 2nd, jumping to $77M and hasn’t slowed down since!

Now at $146M+ in last 24h 

Something’s definitely happening on NEAR. 
• Users are coming. 
• Liquidity’s flowing. 
• DEXs are heating up 

Here’s what might be driving it:
• Chain Abstraction is working, no more switching chains or clunky UX
• Meta-transactions and gasless trades makes easier onboarding
• DeFi protocols on NEAR are growing and pulling in fresh liquidity
• AI agents like @intellex_xyz  and Shade are bringing real use cases that need onchain volume

@NEARProtocol’s  clean UX is turning into real user activity
