cryptocurrency.com.tr reports that NEAR Protocol has officially listed its token on Backpack Exchange. This addition aims to improve market accessibility and broaden the user base for the protocol. The listing also facilitates native USDC trading directly on the NEAR platform.
This feature is expected to drive further engagement within the NEAR ecosystem. The move comes as the broader crypto market displays mixed price signals. Despite this, the announcement has generated notable interest among traders seeking new opportunities.
NEAR continues to expand its offerings to facilitate easier access for users. The lack of reported trading volume in the past 24 hours suggests potential for future growth. Traders are beginning to explore this new listing avenue.
The exchange support for native USDC adds utility that may enhance trading volumes. This development aligns with ongoing efforts to expand NEAR's reach. The listing is likely to drive interest and engagement in the coming days.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for NEAR, measured when this story was written up on 6 October 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
Whalio data shows NEAR trading at $5.29 with a 24-hour spot volume of $148,850,670. The 1-hour buy ratio sits at 48.0%, slightly below the 4-hour ratio of 52.8% and the 24-hour ratio of 51.0%. This indicates that short-term buying pressure is fading relative to the broader daily trend. The 1-hour volume delta is negative at -$200,723, while the 4-hour delta is positive at +$831,631. Volume delta measures the net difference between buy and sell volume, showing whether more money is flowing in or out. The 24-hour cumulative volume delta (CVD) is +$5,283,534, confirming net buying over the full day. There were 16 hours of net buying out of 24, with 562,964 trades recorded.
The latest daily buy ratio of 51.5% sits at the 77th percentile of the last 322 days, against a median of 49.7% - stronger buying than most days.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for NEAR, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Over the preceding week, the average buy ratio was 48.8%, compared to today's 24-hour ratio of 51.0%. This represents a 2.2 percentage point increase over the weekly average. However, today's volume was only 0.85 times the weekly average, indicating lighter trading activity. The price changed +9.8% over the 8-day period, while the total volume delta was -$43,950,336. This is an unusual day for the coin, as buying intensity is higher than average but volume is lower. Only 2 of the past 7 days saw net buying, contrasting with today's 16 hours of positive flow.
