Bitwise says NEAR could reach $155.85 by 2030

Bitwise sees NEAR Protocol’s NEAR rising to $155.85 by 2030 under its base-case scenario, roughly 30 times above current levels, according to CoinGape. Bitwise said the figure is not its most likely forecast and is instead based on a scenario in which NEAR grows into a major transaction and payments network for AI agents. Under that scenario, about 328 million AI agents, or roughly 2% of the projected global total of 16.4 billion in 2030, would use NEAR and each agent would process 1,000 transactions annually. Bitwise put its bull-case target at $562.81 and its bear-case target at $1.63. It cited support for the thesis including NEAR Intents having already processed about $30 billion in cross-chain transactions.
