[NEAR Intents Expected to Generate Approximately $45 Million in Fees This Year, Says Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan, Highlighting Its Independent Business Support] Odaily Planet Daily News – Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan stated in a memo that NEAR is one of the few crypto assets that combines a grand vision with real business utility. NEAR surged 198% in the third quarter, and its Intents product recently surpassed $30 billion in cumulative transaction volume. It is expected to generate approximately $45 million in fees this year, with a portion of the fees to be returned to token holders through buybacks. Hougan noted that even if AI agents do not become mainstream, NEAR still has independent business support, with the AI vision being an additional bonus.
