Near Protocol price

Playing in the crypto space is about engaging with ecosystems, and when playing in the crypto space, you need to choose a public chain. Revealing the advantages and characteristics of the four major public chains: @Aptos, @SeiNetwork, @SuiNetwork, and @NEARProtocol. These four public chains actually represent four different narrative tracks and ecological strategies, and I think they are all "seeking differentiation." 👉 @SuiNetwork follows a high-performance + consumer-grade Web3 route, with an object model that enhances asset composability. The growth of its ecosystem is also very strong, with a TVL reaching $2.1 billion, and it has even seen daily active users surpass Solana at one point, indicating that it is indeed attracting real users, especially in the gaming and NFT sectors. Hardware attempts like SuiPlay0X1 also reflect its ambition to penetrate the consumer end. Although the price has temporarily corrected, I believe there is still an opportunity for it to strengthen in the medium to long term, as institutions are also entering the market, such as the collaboration with @FTI_US. 👉 @Aptos is more like a steady and solid institutional player, the core beneficiary of the RWA narrative. It has been rated first in RWA by BCG, with on-chain RWA stock already at $700 million, and it is the first Move chain integrated with Chainlink CCIP, essentially bridging multi-chain cross-border institutional liquidity. This is very important for the access of DeFi, stablecoins, and real assets. I think if RWA really enters a scaling phase, Aptos's valuation could be re-priced. Its transaction fees are extremely low, and the developer growth rate is high, all of which are future moats for institutional adoption. 👉 @SeiNetwork is the most extremely vertical chain, defining itself as a trading-specific chain, with a 400ms confirmation speed directly competing with Web2 experiences. The daily trading volume of stablecoins at $5.5 billion is actually quite impressive. I believe its advantages lie in matching, order books, and MEV protection mechanisms, making it particularly suitable for high-frequency trading and institutional market making. However, the diversity of its ecosystem is indeed relatively limited; if it can delve deeper into derivatives and ETFs, it may form a specialized trading liquidity center, but entertainment, NFTs, and RWA may not be as strong. 👉 @NEARProtocol takes a somewhat "alternative path," with a strong AI gene. The founder, Illia, is a co-author of the Transformer paper, and the chain abstraction is very advanced. With 46 million monthly active users, it looks impressive, but the TVL is just over $100 million, indicating that most of the activity is at the application layer and user end, not yet fully converted into financial asset accumulation. I think it is betting on AI agents and Chain Signatures; if these technologies can be turned into killer applications, NEAR may experience a wave of "technological dividends". Otherwise, capital outflow and competitive pressure may drag down its performance. TVL performance (as of September 13, 2025) Sui, current TVL $2.1 billion, annual growth +204% Aptos, current TVL $785 million, annual growth +83% Sei, current TVL $601 million, annual growth +320% NEAR, current TVL $102 million, annual growth -50% Daily active users and trading volume User activity: Sui (3.5 million peak) > NEAR (1.5 million estimated) > Aptos (1.4 million peak) > Sei (900,000) Trading volume performance: Sui daily trading volume peak over $30 million, Aptos $5.2 million, Sei $1.8 million stable, NEAR relatively low but with high single-user value. Development direction and strategic positioning (2025-2026 outlook) 🔹Aptos: Continue to deepen institutional-level RWA, expand the Move toolchain, and maintain a sub-cent fee advantage. If it can convert RWA pilots into scalable applications, it is expected to achieve a market cap revaluation. 🔹Sei: Consolidate trading infrastructure advantages, advance ETF approval processes, and expand macro data on-chain applications. Its specialized positioning may limit ecosystem diversity. 🔹Sui: Accelerate gaming and consumer-grade Web3 adoption, leveraging object model advantages to build a unique user experience. Institutional collaborations (Franklin Templeton, Nasdaq-listed companies) provide funding support. 🔹NEAR: Bet on AI + chain abstraction trends; if Chain Signatures go live as scheduled, it will significantly enhance cross-chain capabilities. It needs to convert technological advantages into actual usage growth. Conclusion 🔸Technological leadership Sui > Aptos > Sei > NEAR (based on TPS and innovation) 🔸Ecosystem maturity Aptos ≈ Sui > Sei > NEAR (based on TVL and dApp richness) 🔸Institutional recognition Aptos > Sui > Sei > NEAR (based on compliance and partnerships) In this market wave, each public chain has growth potential, each with its own strengths. Sui has the strongest short-term momentum, Aptos has the highest mid-term institutional expectations, Sei has unique value in the trading vertical field, and NEAR has a first-mover advantage in the AI + abstraction track. So, which card will you play?!!
