Despite the launch of the new Development Team, NEAR has performed quite well over the past week. According to a recent weekly update, NEAR has completed 2.25 million transactions with an average of 751,293 transactions per day.
The network also saw a sharp increase in the number of accounts as they increased to 316,894 (+17%).
Meanwhile, NEAR Daily posted a tweet about the top gainers on the protocol over the past week. REF continued to lead the rankings, recording a 15.5% increase for the week.
It was followed by the NEAR token with 11.1%. AURORA token rose 10.3%. It’s important to note that NEAR has had a promising week. Previously, according to LunarCrush, on the chart, the NEAR token fell in the previous week.
These updates leave the NEAR token at $4.14 with a slight decline of 0.8% over the past 24 hours. However, it still holds a 7.75% increase from the previous week, according to CoinMarketCap.
However, there has been a significant drop in the total value of NEAR DeFi locked down (TVL) over the past month.
According to DeFiLlama, NEAR TVL is down 10% within five days of entering August. The protocol was locked at $285.09 million at the time of writing. Ref Finance continues to dominate with $228.8 million and accounts for 80.28% of NEAR TVL.
Moreover, the network is continuing to show a bearish pattern with low trading volumes. NEAR had transaction volumes soar as high as $800 million in early April.
But the bears continue to undermine its development. Moreover, it has not been able to cross the $500 million mark for more than two weeks.
